That is a perfectly correct statement. The problem is that you cannot defeat the Taliban by going into Pakistan either. Sometimes you just lose. That's why some wars are stupid. Once you get into them, the only issue is how much it's going to cost you in the end, how much it's going to take to wise you up.
