LOL, and we are trying to buy these A-holes a fleet of Super Tucano attack aircraft. Our Generals SURE are bright. Nothing gets by them,,,
We aren’t the SS. Murdering their familes is impotent and not the American way. What we should do now is leave. but what we *should have done* is utterly forbid anyone living in a conquered area like Afghanistan or Iraq from having any weapon whatsoever,,,ever.
Anyone carrying a weapon should have been shot on sight. How many Japs were allowed to stroll around carrying rifles in Tokyo after the surrender?
The insurgency we have now is what you get when you refuse to let them know they had their asses kicked. We should never have gone there unless we were willing to catastrophically break their hearts. Mecca should be nuked.
What a shock.
we will never win until they fear us more than they desire martyrdom
These are 14th century tribal subhuman filth; why is anyone surprised?
I agree on all but one point. I am beyond caring a collateral damage. They would not think twice about killing every American child they could. I say no more precision bombing go back to the old style we used in WW II and Linebacker operations in Nam.
