1:00 KEY ISSUE! This is not a country like Americans think of a country .... this is an area of the planent where separate valley groups and warlords rule an area. Even if the US was noit there the Afgan government themselves would be seen as invaders to these people.
US troops could be doubled, tripled, quadrupled, whatever -- this is a fight that can never be won, because it is not about an enemy it is about cultures and nation building at the hamlet and valley level.
This guy is a fucking genius and sounds like the Tennessee Ron Paul. I hope this neo-con identity crisis the republican party is going through dies out and they return to Ron Paul like representatives.
