| #4 Go to war to win. Didn't Vietnam teach us anything? Yes, you can win a war and leave the locals to keep it safe, but only face a Donk controlled Congress to cut funding and aid so that the enemy can snatch victory from defeat. |

| #3 I loved Fred's inline opinion on another post on the 'Burg today, concerning a part of Pakistan: "home of an intricately interconnected web of poverty, ignorance, and religious fanaticism." |

| #2 If the Pakis don't like it, then they are the enemy too, and it would be better to know that sooner rather than later. We already know that. But the Pakis are many things besides enemies. |

| #1 Looks like our drone attacks have been really effective. !! And they know they must stop it or it will stop them. I hope that our leader-in-Chief grows a pair and keeps the attack on. We need to quit f*cking around a win, dammit. Then return. 2 or 3 months of WWII R.O.E. and Afghanistan would be a far different place. Go to war to win. Didn't Vietnam teach us anything? If the Pakis don't like it, then they are the enemy too, and it would be better to know that sooner rather than later. |
