Their fight is with the people who have invaded their country, no more
no less.
They were there before we arrived and they will be there when we
leave.

So, what you're saying is that if there's a known murderer living in your
house, you're not really responsible for turning him in, because you weren't
there when he murdered someone...

I am saying if the murderer left the house, you stop shooting at it.

OBL left Afghanistan 9 years ago, yet we still keep up the war.
To use your logic we should be occupying Islamabad and threatening
their government.. I suppose we are already killing their people so
that is a start ... until they just kick us out completely.

Nobody controls the territory within the national boundaries of
Afghanistan. Some might control the territory they are in right now but,
when they go three miles in any direction someone moves into to control
the territory that was just vacated.

Afghanistan hasn't advanced socially and culturally beyond tribalism.
