Subject: RE: BS: Afghan War mistake or wise

Posh tunes ?

So far I have heard its really the Pakis, the Suadis, the Taliban, the Al Qeada, the Pashtun, tribal warlords --- who are the enemy to be defeated.

So far I have heard that winning is giving the moderate Afghans control of the country while modifying the extremeists who live there into silence or peaceful compliance.

How is that done with 100,000 troops?
