"Rather than continuing the nation-building strategy in Afghanistan, we should focus on using small, quick-strike forces and other precision capabilities to eliminate the direct threats that al-Qaeda and other terrorists pose to the United States. These emerging threats come from terrorists and organizations that are not loyal to any one country, and cannot effectively be addressed by deploying a large, immobile troop presence."

We’ve learned from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq that the best way to defeat the terrorists is through strategically placed, small quick-strike special forces and drones — the strategy that took out Osama Bin Laden. We also know that civilian casualties are much lower with this strategy than with conventional strategy. However, we must improve safeguards to avoid civilian causalities.
