” Iraq was rated third and kicked their butts”
That’s because Saddam had a complete lack of principles and used chemical and biological weaponry. He was a ruthless butcher and I daresay we in the US need leaders like that.
I’ve said it before, if we are going to continue the war in Afghanistan, fight a war. Stop trying to use it as a training ground and to convince the Afghans that we are good people. Afghans understand war and will fight it without regard to who they harm. That’s why no country, in all of history, has been able to break them. You can’t rebuild any country until you, totally, eleminate the enemy and kill their will to fight. Collateral damage? Of course it will happen.....it’s war and those civilians that support the enemy will die. It’s just the way it is.
Our people are so removed from the problem they can’t understand war. They don’t comprehend what is happening. That’s where a war time President comes in. Fighting this war for ten years is crazy and is being used political fodder. Mean while, we are losing our most valuable resource in this country...............our kids.
