Carpet bombing civilians and staging hundred-man commando raids are unlikely to beat the Taliban. We need to commit ground forces in large numbers.

Ahhhh, a customer. Yeah that's what I said. Did you read the artilce or just the key words?

Bump!

No. We need to use every weapon in our arsenal to overcome these bastards. To start with use tactical nuclear weapons, especially on the caves where OBL and his ilk hang out. Tell the rest of the world to just stay out of it, as we are very likely taking out an enemy of theirs as well. Or better yet tell them to go f**k themselves, if they don't like it.

We need to kill these people in the hundreds of thousands to give them something to think about for the next fifty years until another creep like OBL crawls out of the wood work.

To field a force big enough to take them out on the battle field, where they are heavily fortified, will call for re-implementing the draft, which will turn off 50% of our citizens.

Even my own daughter told me today that if we get into a war and they tried to draft her two sons, she would take them to Canada to avoid the draft. When I told her I would personally drive to Canada and bring them home, she hung up on me.

It's my belief that we will never again be able to draft our young men to fight in a war.

That being the case we need a president with the balls of a Harry Truman, who would use nuclear weapons.
