We should have taken down Pakistan, with no warning, Fall of 2001. The fact that we did not, means that we do not have the will to win the current and growing world war.

Wow - You could not be more wrong - And what your above comments show is you haven't a clue about war (and the logistics needed to win one) - It took us more than 2 years of build up to go into Iraq (yet you foolish act as if we could have invaded Pakistan only a few short months after Sept 11th - A nation who by the way was allowing us to base the troops we were using to bring down the Taliban from Afghanistan).

We are fighting and winning the most successful unconventional war in history (with the GWOT).

RE: what your above comments show is you haven't a clue about war

No, I fully understand it. Let me be blunt. My concept of war is one that most today cannot handle. I am a Clausewitzian Neandarthal and proud of it. I resent the artificial strictures imposed on war fighting since 1945. You want logistics? Heck, India offered up freakin' forward basing, days after 9/11! Also, we have only ourselves to blame for our utterly pathetic and slow logistics world wide. Yes I have a few clues about war, but, nothing but venomous anger toward war with one hand tied behind one's back. We have not really made true war since 1945, and I will stand by that statement and ALL that it implies. And I do mean ALL!
