If we had gone in with a larger force we might have been able to block a lot of the Taliban from crossing into Pakistan.

We also might have avoided having a situation where Karzai controlled Kabul and warlords controlled everything else.

We DID hold down casualties when we first went in there, but those casualties are increasing pretty steadily now because of a lack of foresight.
