Thing is, everybody in that country wants the US out - including Karzai (US attention is seriously cramping his family’s efforts to loot the country). If we need to control the country to combat al-Qaeda, then we are pursuing the wrong strategy by calling a “surge”, to be followed by “withdrawal” to be followed by “Afghans and al-Qaeda doing whatever the fuck they want while plundering the natural resources”.
