Isn't that what we've done for 10 years?
They fight back, we kill them.
They fight back, we kill them.
New plan: They fight back, we kill them extra hard.
Every bullet fired inspires someone else to resist the Americans.
War for war's sake.
Americans would do the same thing if some super-power rolled tanks onto our soil.
There is no possible outcome in Afghanistan that could be construed as a "victory" for America. We've pissed away so much, and gained nothing.
I'm still wondering what we're "responding" to when we drop a nuke on Iraq.
Semper?
We should have responded to al Sadr's attacks with a hundred MOABs.
I don't think Dross or SemperFi or J_wales are supporting the quagmire of nation building. If I read them correctly, rather than the tentative, politically correct, sensitive, manner way we've been conducting wars, we should only go when our interests are attacked or threatened; go in fast and with resolve; do what we have to do to get it over with as quickly as possible; and only help rebuild when the enemy truely surrenders.
I think many are finally realizing we cannot pick sides of every conflict. And we should mind our own business until they make it our business. And make sure they regret attacking us or supporting those who attacked us.
I thought that was Conan?

This may be unpopular and certainly isn't rational, but after reading this news, I'd like the United States to:
1. Withdraw all forces from Afghanistan
2. Put a B-52 in the air with a nuke and take out Kabul. I mean drop that mofo downtown in broad daylight, Major Kong style.
3. Send a cable to all foreign governments we are not allied with that reads as follows: "Any questions?"
RIGHT ON !!! and SEMPER FI !!!!It's not about being a Super Power, and it's not about today's allies. 230 years ago we were at war with Great Britain, arguably our closest ally today. It's about sending a clear and concise message that if you **** with us we will destroy you. It's about making everyone know in the depths of their hearts we are not to be trifled with. Only then do you have peace through strength.
I don't care if they don't **** with us out of respect or because of fear. I don't want them to **** with us at all.
I don't forget about the men and women that just want to live out their lives. But there has to be an unimaginable price, so severe a penalty that they do not want to see us coming and will do all within their collective power to ensure that they act right. War is hell. Hell shouldn't be sugarcoated.
Their ignorance is their problem.
"... and your little dog Toto, too...."
I can't speak for anyone else, but I want nothing to do with nation building. If we have to destroy them why the hell do we want to build them back up so we have to do it all over again?
One cannot bring freedom to one that is not willing to sacrifice all freedom.
I'm not sure I understand..Are we suppossed to fight the good guys? Or are you saying we are fighting the wrong people?"Our job is to fight BAD GUYS"
thats arguable

We're fighting against a people that have no problem strapping bombs to their children and sending them off to die.
