“Retake Bagram airbase, kill everyone there. Then expand out from there and kill ALL Taliban, All of them.”

That is how it should have been done in the beginning.

Dude, that is not how woke government and woke Pentagon play!

Woke FedGov and Pentagon have the hard job of being a tyrrany over their own slaves.

You gotta get with the program...

The Bush family and its associates is worried about the coming purges, and wants to push others ahead of them in the line.

No, if anything we need to retake Bagram, and keep only the personnel required to keep it operational. We should otherwise, once Americans are evaced and Bagram retaken never otherwise put boots on the ground but rain destruction down on these sumbitches from the sky until they capitulate or are all dead. I’m fine and dandy with the latter.

Let’s send 100,000 NeoCons & NeoLibs there with guns and wish them well.

All regular American troops should leave by August 31.

I also apologize for your lack of coherence.

If the expeditionary force are not allowed to shoot, they will fail. Again.

Utterly ridiculous. That would humiliate the Taliban and make them look like puppets of the USA.

Why? Elitist like her make careers out of it because no one challenges their stupidity. Same with Bill Krystal, Charles Kraughthammer, Robert Riech and Paul Krugman.

“How could we possibly deploy 100,000 troops quickly at this point?”

A neutron bomb dropped on Bagram, drones shooting a pathway through Taliban troglodytes to Kabul. Busses move everybody to Basram.

There, I think I just saved a lot of troop-movements. ;)

Hi, D1. Good to see ya’ around.

I agree with most of your post. However, India would respond to a nuclear attack by Pakistan with as many or more nukes, unless the Paks caught India completely off guard with a launch of most of what they (the Paks) have. Karachi has roughly 15 million in it’s urban areas alone, and is even more densely packed than anything in India, unbelievable as that seems. (Actually, the Filipinos seem to have the ultimate edge on packin’ ‘em in.)

Anyway, after a serious nuclear exchange, I’d say both India and Pakistan would not be in very good shape at all. Which is likely why it hasn’t happened.

However, with both India and Pakistan badly wounded, that still leaves China unfettered, so, there I mostly agree with you.

I think these Jihad Johnny’e have people in their midst that
would mind dying, and taking many with them. That’s where
the tit for tat thing breaks down for me.

I appreciate the note.
