The international community has no collective extract strategy in mind. We cannot leave until the term “Failed State” no longer applies to Afghanistan; we cannot leave until the situation has been redressed.
The question of an extract strategy would probably be less of an issue for the Canadian Forces, given that Canada's contribution depends on its capacity. We cannot do everything. Securing and assuming control of Kandahar could be an easier undertaking for Canada than ensuring Afghanistan's overall development. It is an achievable objective. From that point of view, if I am not mistaken, assuming control of ISAF in the region, and increasing the number of Dutch and British troops, constitute progress.
