while i don't subscribe to the idea of internment camps like we did with the Japanese in the United States.....
it would seem like we need to separate the chaff from the wheat..... (better)
so we know who to kill.... but that is a difficult situation @ best

"To the Taliban, winning is, in fact, not losing," he said. "They feel that over time, they will ultimately outlast the international community's attempt to stabilize Afghanistan. It's really a game of will to them."

so based on that idea.... it's a game of breaking their will.
Others have tried and FAILED over many years so unless we use completely different tactics it's not a very effective strategy.
an interesting point the article also made was how the taliban are watering the ground around their mortar positions so as to not create a dust cloud and give themselves away.
that technology the aliens used in the movie:"
predator" that triangulated the trajectory of a missile in reverse is closer to what we need to be doing it would seem. Unfortunately we are not that advanced technologically
yet but we are close.
I'm not sure why we are not bombing the crap out of those mountains .... which gives them too much of an advantage...
so it's a war of foot soldiers Vs IED's .
