#1 The money quote:

the Taliban have taken such a beating that tribal leaders have appealed to president Karzai for mercy. While the tribal chiefs can't keep all their young men from running off with the Taliban (who pay well), they can appeal to Karzai to ask the Americans to take more prisoners and ease up on their generous use of smart bombs.

#5 No prisoners. Erase the next generation and stop this shit. These fools always surrender then sneak back to kill you another day. Get rid of them. No more lefty bitching about how many prisoners are being held. It's past time these fools realize there are consequences when you play games with guns.
