    That is a laudable goal indeed. How likely is it that this batch of generals has the magic formula that their predecessors did not? And please make sure your answer accounts for the seven-plus years of war under George W Bush, who was hardly adverse to letting the military make big boom booms.

    Afghanistan wasn't much of a threat when Obama took over. It wasn't a stable nation, but the Taliban wasn't in the position it is now, and ISIS didn't exist.

    Obama's insistence on removing troops handed the country over to terrorists.

    The troops currently fighting there would argue it's not currently a safe harbor for our enemies.

    And using your metric for winning, I guess we are in an eternal war in Afghanistan.

    That war will be on the media, he has already sent in the ground troups via his constant criticism and name calling (enemy of the people, etc.) to brainwash his people into thinking it is all fake news and poor donny is being persecuted.

    Here's the thing, though. You are such an unabashed partisan - I don't think that you would deny that - that generalities like "handed the country over to terrorists" don't do it for me. I don't trust your reporting.

    Was the Obama-era troop surge a mistake?

    How many Americans, in America, have been killed by terrorists harbored in Afhganistan? I honestly don't know.

    Trump supported that move.
