In the key battleground, that is, the southern province of Kandahar, that would allow a base of operations to form, which could then spread to other vulnerable provinces, like the neighbouring Helmand province, and eventually push its way north, recapture Afghanistan and turn it into the tyrannical, theocratic dungeon that it was before we arrived.
Sur le champ de bataille principal, c'est-à-dire dans la province de Kandahar, au sud du pays, pourrait se former une base à partir de laquelle les talibans mèneraient leurs opérations. Ils étendraient alors leur emprise à d'autres provinces vulnérables, comme la province voisine d'Helmand.
