Military Braces for Long Winter: WASHINGTON - Top Bush administration officials warned yesterday that the military campaign in Afghanistan could continue well into the spring and beyond, raising the prospect of winter fighting for American troops. "This is going to be a very, very long campaign," said Air Force Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in an interview on ABC's This Week. "It may take till next spring. It may take till next summer. It may take longer than that in Afghanistan."
