The Haqqanis won't quit Afghanistan

'But even as the Americans pledge revenge against the Haqqanis, and even amid a new debate in the Obama administration about how to blunt the groupâ??s power, there is a growing belief that it could be too late. To many frustrated officials, they represent a missed opportunity with haunting consequences. Responsible for hundreds of American deaths, the Haqqanis probably will outlast the United States troops in Afghanistan and command large swaths of territory there once the shooting stops. - New York Times '

Of course they will outlast the United States: they live there.
