According to the AP, this is the Obama Administration's "road map" to winning the war in Afghanistan:
1. Disrupt terrorist networks in Afghanistan and especially Pakistan.
2. Monitor effectiveness of Pakistani COIN ops aimed at clearing extremists from towns and villages.
3. Monitor foreign assistance/support to Pakistan and UN coordination of those efforts.
4. Measure level of insurgent-related violence in Afghanistan by looking at changing populations in areas under extremist control, those undergoing clearing operations and those that have been stabilized by US/NATO forces.
5. Defeat extremists.
6. Secure the Afghan people.
7. Train Afghan security forces to fight with reduced US assistance.
