McStupid cound not be more wrong.

From terrain to tribal ways, A-stan will be a much tougher slog than Iraq.

A-stan has swallowed every foreign power that has come its way—slowly and painfully.

We cannot wage a PC war and expect to win there.

We have not even been able to cut off the poppy crop that fuels half the heroin production in the world.

And we have a standing army there.

Hey Hillary, is that one our fault, too?

Gonna be much worse then a PC war. Obama just stated last Sunday that our primary concern in that region is stabilizing and supporting the Pakistani government. How is ramping up troops into Afghanistan going to accomplish that ? Are we going to flood Pakistan with hundreds of drones ? It was our invasion of Afghanistan that forced the Islamic Extremists into Pakistan in the first place. It was our insistence that Benazir BHUTTO run for President, that got her killed. What exactly can America do in Afghanistan that stabilizes the government in Pakistan ?
