Who said the war in Afghanistan was over? I believe this is the same problem the Soviets had when they invaded. They swept in and took control of Kabul and such, only to find the Mujahadeen in the mountains killing their troops a few at a time, wearing them down over the years through terror. The only positive to the current situation is that at least these Al Quaeda gangs aren’t being armed by a big foreign force any more.
