"within the taliban, there are differences between the crazies and the less crazy."

Sure. Only i-node would pretend otherwise.

"But a prereq for that would be the ultimate departure of foreign troops. We can not have an open ended committment in afganistan and expect to win."

Pretty much. We also need to put more effort into stabilizing the country. Our focus has been Iraq, so our mission has been pretty much restricted to hunting bad guys. That is not going to win anything.

Open-ended commitment -- Obama speak for "War". We can't have a "war" in Afghanistan and expect to win.
