Is the UK wanted in Afghanistan ?

The Times: Reports that the US military sees the UK as a failure in Afghanistan, the UK leaves it bases fights the Taliban/Terrorists, wins the fight but then leaves the won area. The Taliban/Terrorists come back, not a great military strategy. If the USA think they can do a better job let the USA take over all the fighting in Afghanistan, we have fought and bleed and for what, this stabbing in the back from our suppose Allies. Lets take UK forces out of Afghanistan as we are taking our forces out of Iraq, let Afghanistan become Obama's War, as Iraq will become his War in time. Afghanistan to quote the old line is the Graveyard of Empires, the British Empire had a bloody nose, the old Soviet Union had a bloody nose, in fact the War in Afghanistan helped in the fall of the USSR. On the other hand if we are going to stay in country we have to send more troops, we have to send better equipment, we cant win on the cheap, even withe the present recession/depression we have to fund the War in Afghanistan. In reporting from the area one gets the impression that we are back in World War One, Trenches, Bad Equipment, lets win folks if we are staying, our troops deserve the best, they don't need this negative review from our American cousins. lets face it they took their time in World War One and World War Two.
