how, specifically?
1. Set up and maintain a functional government.
2. Kill the enemy.

Problem is that Afghanistan is where the 911 attacks were launched from. If we had taken out bin Laden from the get-go, we could then have gone home in victory. Now we have Obama, who is going to do the same half-assed job Bush did.
We should have bombed the whole country back into the stone age, then left, with a warning that, should another 911 ever happen again, the country responsible would be turned forever into a glassed-over, radioactive desert.

There's the kicker. How do you do that in a place that has few natural resources, heavy tribal ties, decades of corruption, massive drugs, and a largely uneducated populace?

Obama vows to ‘finish the job’ in Afghanistan
Does anyone think this can end well, or soon? I can't imagine a scenario that works.
