No? Well Bill Frist does: (Houston Chronicle)

QALAT, Afghanistan — U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said Monday that the Afghan war against Taliban guerrillas can never be won militarily and urged support for efforts to bring "people who call themselves Taliban" and their allies into the government.

The Tennessee Republican said he learned from briefings that Taliban fighters were too numerous and had too much popular support to be defeated on the battlefield.

Politics aside, this is a disgrace, As a disabled vet myself, I find this deeply offensive, what's next ? pull out of the place?
