The problem with a war such as this one (a religous/ideological war) is that it can never be won. When do we declare victory? When they give up? Well, in a religious war, they have no problems with dying for their "allah" or God. They actually view it as a great honor. Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world right now, so we aren't going to kill them all. How do you win? When do you delare victory? When do you just say it isn't worth it anymore? When Osama Bin Ladin is killed?

*Don't look now, but the CIA is likely watching now because of my statement above containing Bin Ladins name LOL*

When he is killed (BTW, my BIL, who was in special forces Army, had him in his sights once years ago and was told to stand down) They will view him as a martyr and celebrate. In fact, it will probably fuel them even more. I'm not saying pull out and quit, but lets have a clear goal that is attainable. Define "winning" this war in Afganistan. Define "winning" in Iraq. THEN we will be able to do it. Our military can achieve ANYHING. If you tell them to kill em all, they will. If you tell them to kill every man, but leave the women, they will. If you tell them to kill all the adults, they will. If you tell them to kill EVERYTHING, they will. Tell them what the goal is, and they CAN and WILL achieve it.
