"If we had done what we said we were going to do, which is kick out the Taliban and stabilize the country, it would have been different."

I don't think Afghanis are Iraqis. They've never had even a second-world state. They've beaten back invaders for millennia, and it's a proud tradition there. Even Karzai and his followers have a part, co-opting the invaders for wealth while really doing nothing to advance the invader's goals. Meanwhile, they keep growing opium poppys.

I think Afghanistan is different.
