U.S. Air Force fighters and Army helicopter gunships have attacked and killed more than 220 Taliban forces in Ghazni over the past several days after militants launched a massive attack on the Afghan city less than 100 miles from Kabul.
But can we recognize that it is really bad that the Taliban have enough freedom to mass to make such an attack in the first place? Even winning this battle highlights a couple major problems we need to address to win in Afghanistan.
Until our side seizes the initiative to keep the enemy more worried about what we will do to them, the enemy will have the time and opportunity to plan what they will do to us.
