Shit Hit the Fan in Afghanistan

Lack of political will and leadership kept the Taliban in play. Now there has been a huge coordinated attack against the coalition troops still on the ground.

So will Obama buckle and finally cut and run? This is what the Taliban hopes the US will do.

  • Pat, do you think it’s possible to win in Afghanistan? The Soviets found out the hard way that you cannot fight a traditional war using traditional tactics, against a non-traditional enemy. 10 years in, and we’re still no closer to eradicating the Taliban than we were when we started. And certainly Obama has no stomach for an all-out offensive, but even if he did, what’s next? I hate to admit that maybe cutting and running is the best option, given the cost and our inability, or unwillingness, to kill the enemy.

  • Ed, you can defeat an illiterate zealot army. You just have to attack their weakness- Their religion. The war should have always been against Islam and its wild-eyed fanatics. How hard is it to bomb every mosque and kill a bunch of clerics? Confiscate every koran and burn them all.

    Without the will to make Islam in Afghanistan the enemy and showing a willingness to negotiate with the Taliban as Obama has, shows we dont have the political will to do what is necessary.
