Even if the Pakhtun were not Taliban or even muslim, they are the most warlike peoples on earth and have been slaughtering themselves for all of known history.
We are training them in the science of war. What does anyone think the ANA will do with those weapons and training?
They will listen to their fathers and grandfathers whom were also in the ANA under the Russians and switched over to the Taliban by the thousands after their Hazara officers ran for their lives.
We will be held responsible for this madness. Karzai controls no more than Kabul and never will go beyond.
ISAF aircraft and Special Forces will keep him propped up for awhile.
Two kinds of reports are coming back from Afghanistan:
1. The Taliban are holding off attacks and joining the ANA enmasse for weapons training.
2. The ANA is filled with talk of switching to the Taliban as soon as ground operations cease and we are out of country or gone to garrison.
Conquest always dies of indigestion.
