General Petraeus says the Afghan war is winnable. I am not clear about what he means by "winnable". If he means that we will leave the Afghans with an uncorrupt government, a suitable infrastructure, a well trained army, a reliable police force, an intact health system and universal education, then I think he is wrong. We can never do this. Only the Afghans can. If this is not what is meant by "winnable" then what is?
We should leave before one more soldier or Afghan dies. We should leave now.
