Your popeship,
What would be the definition of win?
With this present bunch in the oval office, you could bet the farm there is no way they are going to unleash the might and power of the US military against his brothers and sisters over there.
He will handcuff the military and never allow what they need to complete a task, much less define the task.
Were I potus, I would simply say to the Afghanis, anyone not wanting to be here speak now. We are gone in six months. If you want to emigrate to another country nearby we will assist in that.
Done. We have no stake in Afghanistan and now that the BUSH INTELLIGENCE METHODOLOGY allowed us to track UBL via the courier, and he is now dead, what more do we need to be in Pakistan for?
Those freaking people can't stand each other, much less anyone else. Leave them to themselves.
You cannot be the world's policeman.
You attack us or kill an American you have BIG TIME TROUBLE coming. Other than that, its your country.
That's how I see it.
