It's the Afghan fight. Truth be told, NATO has to win it by 2009. The 3 combat forces (Brits, Dutch, Canucks) will be spent by that time - the problem with small forces. We can fight tough but we cannot fight long. Unless other NATO members step up into combat, the fight will have to be entirely ANA. We just hope that we can weaken the Taliban enough and strengthen the ANA enough by then.
