At least we made the progress of leaving one country. Iraq is no longer considered a combat zone. All the offensive strategies are being focused on flushing out the Taliban in Afghanistan.

You're right about Iraq and it's a step in the right direction in getting soldiers home (even though there are still 50,000 troops there) but I hope you don't think the Taliban is the reason we're there. They will never be flushed out. Just our presence there keeps them strong. That area has ALWAYS had oppressors. Remember that US forces have been engaged there longer than any other conflict in history, and we fought the Brits, Germans, and Japanese. Offensive strategies will not work when Pakistani gunsmiths can make 1,000 guns a day by hand so they can eat (nevermind the fact that we're armed the Taliban in the first place).

Only a non-combative peace effort to help those who want to be helped is the only way for the Paki/Afghans to flush out their own oppressors. WON'T HAPPEN.
