The U.S. has already tried both a surge and a drawdown of U.S. forces just to have the Tali- ban resurge, taking more territory, and the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) establish a presence in Afghani- stan. According to the U.S. mili- tary, the Afghanistan-Pakistan re- gion is home to the largest concen- tration of Islamic terrorist groups in the world. Prince told Breitbart News that U.S. victory in Afghan- istan, which he said involves mak- ing the region “very, very misera- ble for terrorists to live and oper- ate,” is attainable, stressing that he can deliver the winning strategy. Breitbart News has learned that President Trump is unhappy with the plans put forward by the Pen- tagon and the White House. Trump is reportedly looking for a novel approach to dealing with the seemingly endless war. Prince said he believes his plan offers “exact- ly” what the commander-in-chief is looking for — a new strategy to “ending” the war in Afghanistan.
