Why do we have to “win”?

The trick is to turn Afghanistan into a deathtrap for the Taliban. We have the smarts and the tech and the motivated young guys to do it, and the longer we are there the better at it we get.

We defeated the Terrorists in Iraq so now they are going to Afghanistan. We defeat them in Afghanistan and next they will go to Europe. Why not just keep killing them in Afghanistan? The place is perfect for it.

Do you really want us to stay there as long as it takes (maybe 20 years or so)? When you are fighting terrorists, you can’t win outright - only slow them down enough that the locals can keep them under control. I really don’t want the US there many more years.

Yeah, plus Obama has tried to build his 'tough guy' cred on fighting in Afghanistan. He even talked about invading Pakistan to go after al Qaeda. It would be hard for him to back off from that and with Obama as cover, it makes it harder for the Lefties to attack the war. Great timing too, we're freeing up a bunch of battle-hardened troops in Iraq, who are aching to go somewhere to kill more Jihadis.

All-around, it looks like a win-win situation.

The winning strategy is to eliminate the supply of Taliban recruits.
