The problem isn't Afghanistan - its Pakistan. Usually I am against drone strikes, but when it comes to Pakistan, I say if we are increasing our troops by 4000, I hope ALL of them are drone operators.
Pakistan is no ally of ours. Time to send a message.
The Wrong Enemy by Carlotta Gall is an impressive and straightforward account of Pakistan's duplicity and the like.

China is the eventual winner of a destabilized Afghanistan. China has two client/rentier states - North Korea and Pakistan. These countries are not by accident nuclear powers. China, in its quest to be a global power needs a blue water navy. Which means it needs to control the Pacific and Indian Oceans to begin with. It will use NK to conquer the Pacific Ocean and Pakistan to conquer the Indian ocean. To maintain a perpetual leverage in Pakistan - China will always create distraction in Afghanistan and India.
