Frankly, I am not surprised.

After almost ten years of screwing around in Afghanistan, I don’t think Americans are too keen on wasting too many more men or material on the Taliban who have now moved into Pakistan anyway. The NEW anti-Taliban and Al Qaeda War will be handled by technology and bombing the bejesus out of their training camps by drones.

There is little support for spending billions to build roads, schools and business enterprises in a lawless and tribal Afghanistan.
