I'll answer what I 'bolded'. All current US military leaders agree that we could actually kill the Taliban out of existence. All it would take would be 80,000 to 100,000 more solders on the ground there, and we'd also have to attack Pakistan to finish. Other than that, our goal is to make them ineffective, by helping to control major areas while helping to build the Afghan military and police force.

Naaah... we could do it in a couple of weeks with less troops on the ground.
