Hahahaha what's your point ???
Do you want to say these Talibs are roaming around the area like they are wondering on beach ??? Not exactly
they are hiding in holes waiting for US to go away. But US will keep their UCAVs there so they can hit any over bouncing Talib at their wish. Even situation will be much worse for Talibs as there will be a pressure on them to prove themselves after departure of NATO and they won't be able to move freely.Simple outcome of CIA network and bases. They hunt and drag OBL from the most secured area
Americans do ACHIVE their objective of capturing OBL alive or dead. Didn't they ???
My point is " Stop dreaming that somehow a few thousands marines can do the job backed by some drones and CIA network ( God knows who will support them though ) when more than a million coalition soldiers couldn't meet their objectives in Afghanistan in 10 years and now are packing their bags " whereas you hope that a token presence will work some miracle for the lost cause in Afghanistan ...
Yes they are , outside Kabul , the situation is very different ... The coalition controls the border areas and major cities , that we know for sure , but the other parts are controlled by Talibans and assorted warlords ... The US had drones for the last 10 years , I am not seeing Taliban eliminated from that country , all I see are the Americans desperately negotiating with Taliban offering them different options which have been refused ... So , what am I to deduce from that ?
A victory ?
Taliban in 72 percent of Afghanistan
The findings by the International Council on Security and Development (ICOS) come in the wake of a series of critical reports on Western-led military and development efforts to put an end to the seven-year Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan.
While the trends in the ICOS report reflected prevailing sentiment on Afghanistan, many of its findings appeared flawed and contained some glaring errors, security analysts said.
“The Taliban now have a permanent presence in 72 percent of the country,” ICOS said in the report.
The report defines a permanent presence as an average of one or more insurgent attacks per week over the entire year.
According to ICOS, a ‘permanent presence’ then would include many areas of the country where the Taliban traditionally launch a large number of attacks in the spring and summer ‘fighting season’, before melting away during the harsh winter months.
Taliban In 72 Percent Of Afghanistan, Think Tank Says
This isn't a sports match that pressure will quickly build on Taliban to prove themselves and it wont be hard since majority of the troops would have left , different warlords will fight with each other as predicted and country will descend into what it was ... Objectives met , would you say ?
Do you consider an isolated house with no fighters to be most secured ? Because that is where Osama was ...
They are giving a hard time to Americans and ANA as we speak , so if they have targets now , the situation will only improve for them ... They are moving freely now , whats stopping them afterwards ? Some miracle superhuman marines and drones ?
If you consider that Americans somehow spent trillions and lost thousands just to kill a man who was a nobody at the time of his death since he wasn't controlling the Al Qaeda and living his life in isolation then the US media has successfully fooled you too ... What happened to the objectives of " completely eliminating Taliban " , " establishing a central Govt in Kabul that can control the country properly and protect itself " , " making it a secure country " and " making the region secure " ?
