NATO cannot win in Afghanistan. We don't have the numbers. The best we can do is to tip the balance in favour of the ANA and while that is going on extremely well right now, recent Karzi statements leaves alot of doubt whether Kabul is actually committed to seeing this through.

If the Afghan robes in Kabul don't have the nerve to see this through, there's nothing NATO can do.

The Afghans need an inspirational leader and Karzi ain't him.

We have identified the enemy and we're going to kill him. But we cannot make friends when people are determined to hate.
