General John Allen [the American commander of the ISAF] talks about three natural ways of leaving the Taliban – killed, captured or reintegrated

Transition is a reality, and it is a path for the future success of this country and the Afghan people
This incident has my highest personal attention and my commitment to thoroughly investigate it to determine the facts
The Afghan national security forces are better than they thought they were, and they're better than we thought they were
Protecting the Afghan civilian population is central to our mission here in Afghanistan, and we will investigate this situation fully to determine exactly what took place and whether any further actions need to be taken ... As was President Karzai, I too was saddened by this event.
As big as this is, and as hard as it has been, we are going to be successful here ... We're going to win this. We're going to liberate these people, we're going to set this country up to be a free country in one of the toughest regions in the world.

This win is huge, especially heading into league (play) soon ... This shows that we can beat one of the better teams in our conference. To get a win over a quality opponent like this is big for us.
Every day, we're doing something new and different
