but as we have seen in Iraq, and are beginning to see with the increase of suicide bombers and IEDs in Afghanistan, that as soon as the troops leave they are replaced by the insurgents.

We don't have enough troops to succeed at anything in either Iraq or Afghanistan. This is more troubling for the reason we went into Afghanistan was to go after those behind the 9-11 attack, and that our failure to stick to that mission is why the Taleban are resurgent.

The only way to salvage Afghanistan is by pulling all of our troops out of Iraq and redeploy them to that country. Iraq is already lost for good.
