#9 Rubio needs to tell us how many decades are necessary. We've tried 20 years without making a deep dent in their mindset, would another 20 satisfy Rubio? 40? or should we make Afghanistan a state so we could threaten to withdraw highway funds if they don't stop fighting?

#12 What about Pakistan? The two have to be "fixed" (whatever that means!) at the same time as the Pashtuns straddle the border.

#13 Unless we are willing to unleash the slaughter we did on Germany and Japan in WWII... we will never win.

Get out and let them kill each other. If a Bin Laden starts rising again, kill him then stay out.
