One of my points is that the Afghanis have been fighting for a long time...it's ingraiined in their being. We just went over a land mark in time in Iraq and look at what a big deal the press made of it.

These things take time and determination, intelligent COIN operations, a thorough understanding of your enemy ...and yes, culture is part of that...some seem to think that understanding culture is a finger drill or "tea and crumpets"...
