Unlike traditional military actions, in Afghanistan we can not even identify the enemy. The surge strategy will not work in Afghanistan. Nation building will not work in Afghanistan. I would primarily use small scale covert or military ops, strategically when needed - and I would do it forever if needed - no different than what I do to protect my home from pests. However, I would stay open to diplomatic solutions if a non-corrupt government got in power and actually got serious.
