War in Afghanistan an unending failure...

Recent reports now indicate that the top U.S. commander of the Afghanistan war will be replaced because we need "fresh thinking" to turn around our war against the resurgent Taliban.
After more than seven years of fighting, it has become clear that the warmongering Bush policy continues to be a counterproductive failure. We have the most modern and high-tech army in the world, with multi billions of dollars in weaponry for use against some local tribesmen whose most novel invention in recent times has been adding egg whites to their mud blocks for added adhesive strength to their buildings.
We have neither end goals nor definitions of what victory is, while our tribal opponents only need to not lose in order to outlast us and win. I'm sure that our military, industrial and financial complexes are in "tall cotton" with these unending wars, and they will never agree that fighting and destruction are the ignorant means to wage war.
