And when it comes to training the Afghan police and army, and continuing to support the corrupt and dysfunctional government of Hamid Karzai -- such a wager has all the makings of the sucker bet to end all sucker bets.

The success of the operation, and when we start getting out of Afghanistan, is in the hands of Karzai and the Afghan army/police.

What is the chance that they will perform as required?

I can't believe Obama would take that bet.
