#12  Old Patriot has done his stint for the Pentagon, M. Murcek. His knowledge and experience are well worth respecting. Ditto for Pappy, who generally has very good reasons for being less patient than usual.

#11  Old Patriot, I wonder how many 'freebies' Russia and China would let the US obliterate before they got too antsy thinking they would be at the end of the line in 'Nuke Week'? You must live an an area where none of the 'Red Birds' would be targeted in that retaliation! I wanna be your neighbor!!

#10  Keep that in mind the next time you think of something as 'strategically brilliant' as clearing Sadr City.

#9  I don't have to apply, I just have to vote for people who get guys like Petraeus to the top. That's the glory of America...

#8  I give OP a pass.

#7  Ohh, watch it, OP, "pappy" will show up to tell you that you have to apply for a job at the pentagon to suggest such things.

#6  We could end this "war" tomorrow by simply nuking Riyadh, Mecca & Medina. Two-thirds of the money would instantly dry up. Hit Tehran and Qom, and the other third dries up. Tell the muzzies that if this sh$$ doesn't stop in 30 days, we will hit Cairo, Khartoum, Damascus, Rawalpindi/Islamabad, et. cetera, at nauseum, until it DOES stop. The world will run out of crazy muzzies before the US runs out of nukes.

#5  Zoid's right, whatever is subsidized, there will be more of. UN, state department, saudis and soros are all peas in a pod on this.

#4  Besides the drug trade, the UN still squanders millions on phony refugee camps in Pakistan, thus, allowing easy recruitment by Taliban/al-Qaeda.

#3  Are you referring to the poppy production enterprise there, Free Radical? Explain.

#2  Unfortunately we're not going to get this under control until we start really striking at the source of the problem- which isn't the spear-carriers or even the 'holy' men... It's the financiers. Keep strangling the leaders and idiots by all means, but we've got to get to the moneymen.

#1  Karzai has been put on notice. While he's sitting back slinging the terrorists over his shoulder for burp sessions; they're out there shining the nose cones of their next projectiles! Time for building 'High Noon' gallows, in the middle of town square. Killing the enemy in the cracks and crevasses of the mountains doesn't bring the fear of God to the perpetrators! Dot their skeletons on crosses across the frontier with blood filled bags over the heads...might just get the Taleban's® attention!
