#1 If Karzai loses the presidental election, as well he might. The Pashtun will feel even more alienated and things will get worse.

The Pushtun are a tribal society with blood feuds the go on for generations. Very different from the mostly urbanized Sunnis in Iraq. In Iraq you were fighting a few hundred to a few thousands militants. In Afghanistan you are fighting 40 million Pushtun.

Otherwise, a surge in Afghanistan is typical of the Left. Copy something they don't understand, then blame someone else when it doesn't work.
