Can we win in Afghanistan? Yes, if we turn the job over to our military and get the hell out of their way and just let them do it. Ya hear me stupid politicians? Obozo?

THANK YOU. If we fight like we are in a WAR and stop moaning, groaning, and whining over every misstep or mistake that results in a civilian casualty of COURSE we can win the war.

I'm not suggesting that we should but we could kill every breathing soul in Afghanistan. The problem with American wars lately (since the 1970's) is that we fight like we are chipping away at a boulder with a 1 oz rock hammer instead of getting out the mechanical 1 ton sledge hammer and crushing the boulder. We shouldn't play.

We should kill the bad guys and leave. If a few innocents get in the way, that's a terrible NECESSITY OF WINNING.

Yeah but even if we would kill every breathing soul in afghanistan it would not fix the “main problem” because after we leave foreign terrorist can use this “land” again to build their training camps. Shure we “could” (in theory) kill every one there but in the end “we” just would have killed millions of people who never have been a dirrect security threat for us. Because neither the Taliban nor the rest of the people who are living in afghanistan (btw. the difference between both isn´t that much) is a dirrect treath to our countries. of course they would never fit in anything like our societies but to kill them “only” because there IS NO WAY to change their way of life, will solve nothing nor will it kill terrorism. this is why no one can or could ever win anything in afghanistan in history.
