Yep. Right you are. Pompeo is clueless. The Taliban absolutely know no such thing as "worse"; it is all the same to them, and has been for thousands of years.

If the Taliban knew such a thing as "worse", they would have capitulated to the Russians. In comparison, we are relatively tame.

LOL, we let lisping limp wristed JAGs persecute our soldiers for pissing on a Taliban corpse! Ha ha ha—talk about wusses.

Reducing the Taliban would reduce the violence against civilians.

I’d start with taking out the poppy fields and the mullahs and madrassas.

So is ours. More dead & maimed American soldiers, more tens of Billions of dollars of debt.

This is utter stupidity. I expected better.

1000 dead is some serious whoop ass.

It’s a principle in islam that if you attack and cause serious retaliation, you are a shame to Islam because the victim was not ready for subjugation. The teachings are to back off as islam has overstepped.

Pompeo is speaking their language perfectly.

I vote for 100% shredding of ALL the enemy evildoers' nests. 100% Relieve all of them of this stage of existence. Enough already yet. They had their chance to be human, reasonable. They have no interest in being human or reasonable. Fine. Flush em. No more partial measures. Wipe them out. That's the ONLY "message" their culture will 'get.' That's the only 'message' that will bear a lasting imprint. That's the only 'message' that will bear the fruit we seek.

How long, would be hard to guess but it would be a lot longer than partial measures. Make every last accessible enemy evil doer go to where they think their 72 virgins are waiting. Escalate our attacks until there is nothing else to attack fitting our criteria of who are the enemy evil doers, where their nests are.

Personally, I would even ignore any surrender flags. I realize that's not viable but I don't trust even their surrendering actions. Wipe their evil doing out. I don't see any other remotely lasting solution.

Wimpy air-headed blather pretending these are reasonable people is suicidal idiocy. Whether incestual DNA is a factor or poor education or rabid religiosity--it doesn't matter. They are intractable. They are not educable--certainly not in the short term but seemingly not in the long term either--at least without massive control of all their media--not doable realistically.

It is irrational & suicidal for our decent, patriotic, survival goals to pretend otherwise is true. Otherwise is not true. The evildoers proved it first with the Russians. They've been relentlessly proving it fighting us. When will we learn?

Playing a life & death game with civil decent rules may only be suicidal. Survival is a very high priority. We must act like it with these evil doers. Unless wiped out, they will only ratchet up their goals of incrementally invading us increasingly with thousands across our southern boarder to add to the thousands of sleeper agents already here.

Playing Sunday afternoon volley ball with such evildoers only results in losing more of our finest patriots in uniform at whatever rate of attrition. One lost per week or month is too many to waste on such animals. The evildoers are addicts of a death lust--Fine--indulge them in their death god obsession. Be done with them.

If you wish--protect & aid civilian groups to blanket the areas with Christian salvation msgs in their language a few weeks before lowering the boom. But at some point--enough. Indulge their lust for martyrdom.

we are done there. OBL is dead. Let Russia, China, or India tame the place. Not worth another American life.

“1000 dead is some serious whoop ass.”

I am suspicious of round numbers. And America learned all about “body count math” back in the Vietnam war. Maybe we should dust off the F-4s and Hueys if we are going to start bragging about body counts.

We are lead by morons.

The minute you go to them to beg for a negotiation so that you can leave.... any idiot would know you are weak.

Have they sent Puff gunships over and/or Tomahawks into known enemy compound HQs?

1,000 is a waltz, 10,000 would be worth a jig or two.

The RoE always favored the Talibunnies. Now they run thick.

Either ‘harvest’ now or let the latest crop go to seed.

Some species beg for elimination. Oh, and be careful which species you choose to foster and which to fight.

The Soviets found that out the hard way.

I paid for those MOABs. I would like to see them used and re-stocked.

Use the freaking bombs for what they’re paid for - killing terrorist scum. The taliban want to mess with the US and President Trump?

They’re about to learn a new lesson.

exactly right. Get rid of the poppy fields, the mullahs and the madrassas, and not in that order.
