If America would unhinge itself from the United Nations and “international law” which it has been tied to since World War II, we would fight wars to win again.
This long, drug out no-win kind of war is the wrong way to go.
If we had really dealt with Pakistan back in 2001, we wouldn’t be bogged down now with Petraeus worrying about our ememies being angered.
Pakistan created the Taliban and Pakistani elements maintain it to this day.
When war comes, you draw your sword and throw away the scabbard.
