Airpower is doing an awesome job in Afghanistan, sometimes there isn't enough of it but it is there to provide support to the guys on the ground. During last summer airpower definitely pulled things back from the brink, but unless you can have airpower overhead everywhere 24-7, cued by some all seeing ISTAR, it isn't going to win the war. Also, from the British perspective, what we have is very stretched but it is doing a brillinat job.
