Failed strategy in Afghanistan

When will the Obama administration stop transplanting the Bush administration's failed methods from Iraq to Afghanistan and Pakistan (US begins major offensive against Taliban, 1 July)? The strategy is the same one Rumsfeld used in Iraq in 2004-06. Cities like Samarra and Falluja were repeatedly assaulted with artillery, helicopters and air strikes, resulting in heavy civilian casualties and hundreds of thousands of refugees. After an area is "secured" by an offensive, the insurgents, most of whom leave in advance, return, along with new recruits seeking revenge for dead family members and friends. So another offensive follows a year or two later, with similar results.
