Have you been to either country? Seems he has much better data than you do.

maybe he (Obama) hadn't heard that Russia couldn't defeat Afghanistan? Some expert Obama is, lol. Oh wait, he is an expert on community organizing, whatever that is.

Well considering that had we put in a decent amount of troops instead of 15,000 maybe we wouldn't be having this conversation. Bush sure knew very little about war, this is evident in placing more in Iraq than Afghanistan. Had we cut the head off the snake straight away and listened to the Brit's advice on the matter (ya know since they have been in 3 wars in Afghanistan) again we would not be having this conversation. Obama obviously knows more since he is admitting it'll take longer.
