I don't know if we are going to win our war in Afghanistan but I do know that we are not experiencing the failures Pakistan is experiencing.
I don't believe you understand most "enlightened" Pakistanis if you believe that we think we are actually "winning our war".

As far as limited victories go, Pakistan has had a major one in Swat - and it is continuing to isolate Mehsud through cooperation with the Ahmedzai Wazir's.

With respect to denigrating NATO efforts, perhaps that is a failure on your part to present your side of the story. Pakistanis don't hear about the excellent piece written here - they hear about the weddings, villages and innocent children being bombed.
