Since we can't "win" victory in a way that will stabilize Afghanistan and make Pakistan's nukes absolutely secure, then we need to withdraw. Our window to "win" there ended when the window of opportunity closed in March 2003 as resources were diverted to Iraq.
Sorry, nobody will ever win in Afghinstan... ever....Too hilly, too much of a tribal society. The best you could hope for is semi-civilised cities, and even then you'd be pushing shit up hill..
The Persian Empire. Alexander the Great. The Turks. The Mongols. The British Empire. The Soviet Union.
History is not on our side.
