Christine Fair, professor of foreign service, on what it would take to win the war in Afghanistan:
"My view, and I have been very clear on this, is that we could send an additional 100,000, 300,000 troops, but without a competent, capable, transparent government in Kabul that is more interested in governance rather than graft, we are not going to win this. It undermines everything that we try to do."
