Charles,

You have completely misquoted Stephen Harper. No where in the interview did Harper say,

“Allies Can’t Win in Afghanistan”

What Harper did say is,

“We’re not going to win this war just by staying. we are not ever going to defeat the insurgency. My reading of Afghanistan history, it’s probably had an insurgency since forever, of some kind. What has to happen in Afghanistan is we have to have an Afghan government that is capable of managing that insurgency and improving it’s own governance. A part of the calculation is that the source of authority of Afghanistan has to be perceived has indigenous.”

Harper did not call for quitting, but for deciding what we can do to actually improve the situation. He also had some tough questions for Obama about what his plans are for Afghanistan.

Let’s not engage in the Defeatocrat technique of taking selected quotes out of context and using them to beat up on our own team. You really should update your post to show that Harper was misquoted.
