Yes, American's have a lot to learn about this elusive enemy we call Afghan commanders for it is they who, through their internetwork of tribal, religious and family relations that do not take seriously their role. Now that American's know these same Afghan commanders, who are critical of us, are in fact loyal only to themselves and that they can not be counted on to execute their missions or even fight if it requires dying....
Yes, American is prepared to fight this type of war without the support of her "loyal to who" Afghan commanders, i.e., allies.
When I was in the military, we had a name for leaders such as these, but I can't repeat it on this site.
If our courageous military personnel were only in Afghanistan to support the Afghans in the fight against Al Quieda, I'd pull them out in a New York minute. Our forces are in Afghanistan to rout and destroy terrorists and it appears that at least some Afghan military "leaders" don't share that goal. If they don't want to be part of the solution, then they should move out of the way and keep their Monday morning quarterbacking to themselves, IMHO.
