There is no win. This is the same as Korea and Vietnam. It's either extermination or a waste of time.
That's what I said
Your boy said win. "We will always win."
"We will win in the end."
"They are, Losers!"
"We will defeat them and defeat then handidly (not a word)."
Shit, I forgot; "We will not allow them to think they can 'wait us out'."
You're not saying what your boy is saying, sir.
So?
When does he get his Nobel Peace prize?
Obama had no business getting a Nobel Peace Prize. That was stupid pandering by the Nobel Prize committee.
Having said that, it had nothing to do with Afghanistan:

President of the United States v t e Barack Obama with the Nobel Prize. U.S. President Barack Obama receiving the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize The 2009 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to United States President Barack Obama for his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples".[1] The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced the award on October 9, 2009, citing Obama's promotion of nuclear nonproliferation[2] and a "new climate" in international relations fostered by Obama, especially in reaching out to the Muslim world.[3][4]
The Nobel Committee's decision drew mixed reactions from US commentators and editorial writers across the political spectrum, as well as from the rest of the world.
Obama accepted the prize in Oslo on December 10, 2009. In a 36-minute speech, he discussed the tensions between war and peace and the idea of a "just war"[5] saying, "perhaps the most profound issue surrounding my receipt of this prize is the fact that I am the Commander-in-Chief of the military of a nation in the midst of two wars."[6]
Obama is the fourth President of the United States to have been awarded a Nobel Prize (after Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Jimmy Carter, with Carter's honor happening after leaving office).

In addition, then-sitting Vice President Charles Dawes was a co-winner with Austen Chamberlain (1925), and former Vice President Al Gore was a co-winner with the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2007)
Obama was the first U.S. president to receive the award during his first year in office (at eight and a half months, after being nominated less than two weeks in office), although several other world leaders were awarded in the year following their election to national office, including Óscar Arias (1987)[12] and Aung San Suu Kyi (1991).[13]

Too bad nobody outside of this shit hole will get it.
8 more years of using our boys as target practice
Win or go home
"We will win in the end."
"They are, Losers!"
"We will defeat them and defeat then handidly (not a word)."
Shit, I forgot; "We will not allow them to think they can 'wait us out'."
You're not saying what your boy is saying, sir.
