U. S. HAS LOST THE AFGHANISTAN WAR

"... the United States has lost the ten-year Afghan conflict, its longest war. Afghanistan remains the “graveyard of empires.” The US has failed to install an obedient regime in Kabul that controls Afghanistan. It has made foes of the Pashtun majority, and, in pursuing this war, gravely undermined Pakistan... America, for all its B-1 heavy bombers, strike fighters, missiles, helicopter gunships and drones, armor, super electronics, spies in the sky and all the other high tech weapons of modern war has failed to defeat some 30,000 tribal fighters with nothing more than small arms and legendary valor. The US has lost the all important military initiative in Afghanistan. It may linger there, but it cannot win."
