Anthony Cordesman, the CSIS Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy, was quoted by Reuters, "Afghan Attack Blamed on Shortfalls in Aid."
Sunday's bold Taliban raid that killed nine American soldiers was no surprise to analysts who have been warning that the U.S. effort in Afghanistan needs more troops, aid and attention.
In the latest sign of a marked increase of violence in Afghanistan this year, Taliban insurgents took over a nearby village and used buildings there to launch a complex assault on an outpost near the Pakistan border.
"What we're watching is not some sudden upsurge," said security expert Anthony Cordesman of the centre for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.
