I think some folks here actually believe that you can fight a mountain guerrilla war with daisy cutters. We're in for a long nightmare in Afghanistan.
The Soviets held Kabul with a puppet government for ten tears using some of the most ruthless tactics ever seen in the history of warfare. Think our puppet government will last that long? We haven't even faced anti-aircraft missiles yet, but does anyone really think we won't. Most of the Russian mercenaries who were "the northern alliance" are back in Chechnya, where it's open season on anything with turban or beard.
If hundreds of thousands of terrorists were trained in Al Quaida camps, we got only a handful of them. Bin Laden is still out there receiving dialysis. And Mullah Omar is still on his prayer rug thrice a day. The only arrest of consequence appears to be by "axis of evil" Iran, who appear to have Ahman Al Zahwari in custody.
It's time for the summer fighting season in Anarchystan. Think we'll be able to hold the Unocal pipeline route without a massive commitment of troops and air resources in a time of endless war against multiple front elusive enemies? Do you think the Afghans want US there?
You think we won in Afghanistan?
