    This three-zone strategy is not, per se, a gamechanger, and it must be accompanied by an incremental, phased withdrawal.

    The withdrawal would not be a consequence of stabilization, but rather an essential part of the process. Since the presence of foreign troops is the most important factor in mobilizing support for the Taliban, the beginning of the withdrawal would change the political game on two levels. First, Jihad would become a motivation for fewer Afghans; instead, the conict would be mostly seen as a civil war. Second, the pro-government population (or, more exactly, the anti-Taliban one) would rally together because of fear of a Taliban victory.
