I’m sure that most of the Taliban and all of the al-Qaeda left, too. There might be some fanatics left, but pretty much most of the bad guys who were there are in Pakistan drinking tea now. I pray for our soldiers, but I see this as Pres. Obama’s way to prove that he’s tough on terror. This attack is certainly no surprise, and I fear, this battle will be used by both sides to claim victory. The president can claim that he was tough, and the Taliban can say that none of their guys got killed.
If the civilians left. Then the rest are the enemy and should recieve the droppings of B52s. No need to go in and play the cat and mouse game this stupid General we got overthere wants to play, handcuffing our hands with ROEs. That General is a scumbag. If he had abided by these ROEs in Iraq they never would have taken Zarqawi. They hit that house with 2 2000 pounders and knew their were civilians inside.
But that didn’t stop them. Well why not do the same now? Smack that town with bombs till its 2 inches tall.
The Afghans understand war. If we act stupid and fight stupid they will treat us with the respect a stupid person deserves. And fighting with our hands tied is S T U P I D.
