Wow, learn to write properly before you start voicing your retarded opinions on things, or at least reach puberty first. With some half decent grammar some people may actually bother to read your comments, though I doubt it.
NATO has destroyed the Taliban's control over most of Afghanistan, despite what some retarded e-jihadist's may like to believe the fact the Taliban still exists doesn't mean they control the Gan, the fact they have to sneak in and out and hide like cowards across the Pakistani border proves they have no real control.
NATO has scythed through the Taliban's fighters like they are the bunch of clueless, brainwashed kids with no grip on reality that they really are, which is why there are now more foreign fighters fighting with the Taliban than there are Afghani fighters.
Support for NATO may not be solid right now(depending where you are), but these days most Afghan's don't support the Taliban either. Most Afghans who are actually helping the Taliban these days don't support them, they just know what kind of monstrous barbarians they are and what they'd do to them and their families if they didn't help them.
Rebuilding has been slowed somewhat by the Taliban's unwillingness to just give up and crawl back into their holes and die(they'll be dead soon anyways so they could save us some time) and the fact that there are too many corrupt officials in the new government but it is happening. But for some reason they rarely show that progress here or in the news or anywhere really, it's always bombs and guns and bodies and other violent crap that gets better ratings(not that I have a problem with that, lol).
The only reason we haven't accomplished all of our objectives is because of a few retarded NATO members who aren't willing to step up and contribute to the operation in an even slightly meaningful way.

You bet. The reaper has same payload as an F16. This thing is faster and carries more weapons than the predator. Just wait until more are in the air.
