Coalition Forces in Afghanistan

When first ISAF troops came to Afghanistan everyone was saying that the people’s life is save. But now it’s not that matter that everyone was thinking. How it’s possible that the coalition forces can’t have some regions that are under the control of Taliban? Is it because the coalition force doesn’t want to stop fighting in Afghanistan?
Why they couldn’t successes to train afghan military forces?

I don't necessarily think that the US troops came to Afganistan to do what they have claimed prior to coming; perhaps they came to fight against "terrorist elements threatening the US" and as a matter of fact and in order to justify and sweeten their prolonged presence in the country, they also claimed to be willing to train Afgan forces.
Also along the same lines, if the Afgan forces were effectively trained, the question of leaving Afganistan would be high on agenda (like it is in Iraq where some predict that US troops will leave it next year), notwithstanding the fact that Afgan government (whether by a ploy or naiveté) wants them in the country.
But again, this might or might not be the case...
Another issue is that the US troops weren't necessarily "free" in terms of time and resources. We all know how many problems, on daily and long-term basis face US forces in Afganistan even now... So it might be that there was a "lack" of things...

I agree with all those things you said. But do you know that who are those fighters which are fighting against coalition? It’s again Taliban! And I don’t think that it’s the matter luck recourses there. The coalitions are right now fighting against the terrorist. And I don’t think it’s not a big deal to smash them. But why they don’t do that. Why the coalition let them to control those areas?

Pakistan 'out to enslave Afghans'
[link="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/6175885.stm"]
President Hamid Karzai has hit out at Pakistan over continuing violence in Afghanistan, accusing it of trying to turn his countrymen into "slaves".
Mr Karzai's comments are among his most strongly-worded yet in the spat between the neighbours over border attacks.
While on a visit to the southern city of Kandahar, he also criticised Nato-led forces for killing civilians.
As he did so a motorcyclist was accidentally killed by Nato troops in the city. Nato subsequently apologised.
'Tyranny'
Mr Karzai's latest verbal attack on Pakistan came while he was visiting a school in Kandahar.
Even if they kill 25 million people [in Afghanistan] I won't become their slave
Afghan President Hamid Karzai
"Pakistan has not given up hope of making us slaves. But they cannot," he said.
"This tyranny against our people is not by the nation of Pakistan, it is by the government of Pakistan."
The BBC's Alastair Leithead in Kabul says Taleban fighters are known to move across the border between the two countries and there are growing concerns that the insurgents are increasing their strength in the tribal-controlled areas on the Pakistani side in Waziristan.
Our correspondent says many diplomats support the view that elements within Pakistan are making things worse in Afghanistan.
The Pakistani government has long denied suggestions that it could do more to stop cross-border attacks.
Officials point to the deaths of hundreds of Pakistani troops fighting pro-Taleban militants on the Pakistani side of the border.
But recent peace deals with the militants aimed at ending the bloodshed have been viewed with suspicion in Kabul and Washington.
Pakistani foreign ministry spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam did not respond directly to Mr Karzai's remarks, but repeated Islamabad's view that the roots of Afghanistan's violence were mainly to be found within its borders.
"The problem of Afghanistan is primarily inside Afghanistan and it should be resolved there. The Taleban are operating well inside Afghanistan," Ms Aslam said, the AFP news agency reported.
Civilian toll
Afghanistan has seen its most violent year since the overthrow of the Taleban five years ago, with more than 3,500 people killed, according to the authorities.
