A lot has to be done to make it work-- a lot of it is getting Pakistan and India to close off avenues of escape and attack and regrouping and he did ask for patience. He shows he can listen and make a good decision. He has dumped all the rhetoric in the campaign about pulling out and learned the reality of dealing with Afghanistan-- not easy to pull out and leave it as a base for terrorists. Read what the Alt Right media like Breitbart who wanted a pullout are saying-- they say another "blank check" like Obama gave away-- no timeline-- no real objective-- just "win" and policy is just Obama 2.0-- Trump learned the downside and pulling out and  dropped it-- the things he himself called for and he fired Bannon who pushed for it. Now Trump takes over this war.
