An interesting report from a NGO.

The Afghanistan NGO Safety Office (ANSO) said the Taliban's "easy departure" in 2001, when a US-led invasion drove them from power, was more of a strategic retreat than an actual military defeat.

"A few years from now, 2007 will likely be looked back upon as the year in which the Taliban seriously rejoined the fight and the hopes of a rapid end to conflict were finally set aside by all but the most optimistic," ANSO said.

There is no sign of an early departure in Afghanistan than in Iraq that I can see. At least in Iraq they seem to be be creating their own army.

Afghanistan does not seem to get any lip service. I want to know what Washington thinks about how long we will be there.

A bigger question will be how long can we keep other countries there with us?
