""After 11 years of war, the U.S. military is applying a strategy in
Afghanistan that works, based on gradually empowering the Afghanistan government
to take charge of its affairs." "In brief, the strategy runs this way: A
fiscally supportable force of Afghan National Army and Afghan National Police
forces, in partnership with Afghan Local Police trained by U.S. special
operations forces, will fight the Taliban insurgency, holistically confronting
its military arm as much as its political arm.""
