6. "Defeat the Taliban"
--

Didn't the Soviet Union try this?

What makes America think they can "defeat" these fighters in that region?

What?? They are going to give up?

Let's not blind ourselves in our arrogance.
The Pashtoons joining with the Taliban can defeat, over time, any opponent in that geographic region of the world.
History has proven this.
They can out wait us forever.

If Obama and/or anyone here thinks that we can subdue that region with force or otherwise is tragically mistaken.

my 2 cents
