I would give Afganistan a year...

[steelmania75]

And if there's no major improvements, then get the fuck outta there. Afganistan is where empires go to die(IE Soviet Union)

1. Maybe put in a trigger clause. Yeah, that'll work. nt

[daa]

2. Why not 2 years

Then it could be a decade. That way we could beat the Russians 9 years before they lost.

3. i.e., two Friedmans

4. What are you doing for the next year? Enlist.

5. Oh come on, this is a fight we must win if it takes 100 years.........

Get fucking real, pull out now!! Time to bring lots of troops home and concentrate rebuilding the fucking mess we have here in the United States, not counting getting rid of the asshole contractors, hired idiots that make to much money.

6. ...and how many will die in the next year? i'd give it thirty seconds.

7. Isn't that supposed to be the (good) war that

nearly all the Democrats supported including the president? How can you just pull out unless we win?
That begs another question how can we win if we don't have a clue what our objective is?

[spanone]

8. what do we win? there is absolutely no winning.

[doc03]

9. Who knows, is it driving the Taliban out,

finding Bin Laden, Democracy? I don't have clue what winning would be. Or are we there just to field test weapons systems? It's amazing with all the technology the Russians had and now us we can't win a war against people on horseback.
