“ We have begun a military campaign that now must end in the overthrow of both the present Taliban regime and the virtual destruction of al Qaida. Whether or not this means any significant commitment of U.S. ground forces, it does mean we must create new facts on the ground throughout Afghanistan. Now that we have committed our prestige to this battle, half-measures risk telling the world we remain vulnerable. Within the region, failure means strengthening terrorism, destabilizing Pakistan and the Central Asian states on Afghanistan's border, gravely undermining our position in the Gulf, and giving Islamic extremists far greater strength in the Levant and North Africa. Barring a catalytic collapse of the Taliban, this could easily mean months of airstrikes and a dissident-led ground campaign that could not be fully successful until next spring. We have begun what could be a long journey, and we have no choice other than to finish it. ”
