I believe there was certain results with respect to co-ordination between occupying forces and the Afghans (not Taliban) forces.
With results you mean a German or American-trained Afghani policeman or soldier turning around and shooting those in the back who have trained him? Happens ever more often, far as I know.
That's certainly a result, albeit presumably not one the occupying forces where hoping for.

But too many things have happended of an extremely provocative nature, I just cannot see it as 'shit happens'.
I don't think that's the root of the NATO forces getting their asses whipped. I think it was just a very bad idea to go there in the beginning, especially with the expectation of being welcomed by the Afghani population.
Also, so far no foreign force EVER has managed to conquer and pacify Afghanistan. Not the Persians, not the Brits, certainly not communist Soviet Union. Why should that be different with NATO?
