Is it feasible? What would it look like?

Palin is the only one hitting Obama on so many issues.

Not a good sign. It looks like Billy Kristol, Sarah’s debate coach, has captured her for the cause of neoconservatism. It looks like a President Palin will continue Obama’s war.

There is a serious problem in the region. It is one the US can’t solve, but might be able to mitigate before getting out of there. But the emphasis has to be on a type of stability that will maintain itself after we are gone.

The numbers speak for themselves. NATO commitment, mostly US: about 100,000 personnel. Population of Afghanistan, 30 million. Population of Pakistan, 110 million people.

This means only one thing will work. That we have to put the majority who don’t want to fight us in control, and they *must* stamp out the minority that does want to fight us—and will leave their country to do so.

In effect, once we decide to leave, for a very long time, we cannot permit *anyone* from Afghanistan or Pakistan to come to the US, or even go to Europe, except leaders and important professionals, until we have some security that they are no longer exporting terrorists.

This will especially impact England, because it has a very large Pakistani community, who want to travel back and forth between the two countries. But there is no way this can continue until Pakistan has self-control. There must be a severance between those nations.

What the matter Kirky, your daily supply of heroin getting harder to get cause of the war in Afghanistan? Afraid your supplier might get offed in an air strike?

Oh come on Kirky, no one would spend as much time and effort trash talking the US as you do unless they had skin in the game. So are you a Jihadie, a druggie or just stupid?

The linked article is just an introduction to a different item, which is a letter signed by a bunch of people.

Question: did Sarah Palin actually write the letter in question, or is she merely one of many people who signed it?
