"I think we've accomplished a lot of things in that part of the world...what I'm really wondering is, long term, can the Afghanstian government sustain what we've been able to give them up to this point?"

Neugebauer said that the strategy in Afghanistan is till to help the country stand up a free government and an army, but not they're dealing with the fallout from the changes being made.
