According to the Washington Post, Obama's team thinks our chances of winning a war in Afghanistan against the Taliban are weak. General Petraeus pointed out "Afghanistan has been know over the years as the graveyard of empires. We cannot take that history lightly." Richard Holbrooke claims that "...it's going to be much tougher than Iraq."
Perhaps this is why Iraq started in the first place. Americans were losing back then, are losing now, and even with Obama's massive escalation of force, we'll be losing some more. By continuing in Afghanistan, NATO and the United States are playing Russian Roulette with the fate of their empire. While personally, I don't mind them igniting a bullet in the barrell, if they want to maintain global domination, they best find a way out of Afghanistan.
