#1 NATO will need its resources in the Balkan to protect the European Islamic Republic of Kosovo.

#2 Afghanistan is a lost cause. Precisely because NATO can't/won't step up to the plate.

#3 Other than a few air hubs, the US should pull out of Europe, particularly the Balkans. Not our problem. Our forces are hard put to man the places where we need to be, no point being where we are not needed. See what the value of the Euro will do once the predators realize that Europe is basically defenseless.

#4 I disagree with the need for large Western forces, 1/2 of which do very little anyway. The majority would like nothing more than to beat down the Pashtoons. We can make it worthwhile for them to do it at 1/10th what we are currently spending.
