Mullen: US has to gain Afghan citizens' trust

WASHINGTON -- As the Obama administration considers a troop buildup in Afghanistan, the top American military officer says the war will be lost if the U.S. can't find a way to protect the Afghan people and gain their trust.

Mullen also said that U.S. forces have to gain the trust of the people in Afghanistan. The insurgency won't ever end if U.S. forces accidentally kill civilians in the country or give people reasons to think badly of the United States, according to Mullen's column posted on The Washington Post's Web site Saturday and set to be published Sunday.
