They can’t win because the central government doesn’t have the loyalty of the people. They need a more decentralized approach. Local warlords who do inspire loyalty of the people in their district need to be seen as the real government of Afghanistan. Give them some kind of official title, call them governors or something, but our strategy needs to be wrapped around them.

Afghanistan, like most muzzie countries is still Tribal.
