But it isn't.

You can't secure either the pipeline or the North -- where most natural resources are. And you failed to secure political control over Afghanistan even after doing song and dance around Taliban-allied war lords.

PS
You are not still thinking the US went into Afghanistan to "catch OBL" or to "fight Taliban" that came to power thanks to US?

It isn't secure because that isn't the reason were are in Afghanistan. If all we wanted the the pipeline secured it would be done. That is were your reasoning falls flat.

We are in Afghanistan in retaliation for 9/11.
