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?
.....Can we win in Afghanistan?......
.....if we turn the job over to our military ......
The war began to find and destroy the terrorists operating there and bringing war within our ocean protection. We from the beginning used Afghan friends to carry out the military campaign. That war was won. Al Queda is gone, apparently fled to Pakistan or possibly Somilia or both.
The original enemy is gone but we are now engaged with our original allies to eliminate their enemy, the Taliban. They are the population of the country.
It is not possible to destroy the radical religionist, they can merely be contained. As long as they have the Islamic fanatic leadership they will have the will and some form of war will continue. There will never be a military victory.
There must be a religious victory from within the Afghan mosques

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.
The reverberation of the Viet Nam lesson!
