That's a pantload of crap. Read this book: The Hunt for Bin Laden: TASK FORCE DAGGER by Robin Moore (Yes the same Robin Moore that wrote the 1960's book and movie "The Green Berets." This is the true story of how US SpecOps went into Afghanistan and fought that war the only way it could be fought: with special forces going one on one with AQ when possible or in directing air assets when that was more viable.
With minimal losses to our own forces, we went in with but 100 "Operators" and within 100 days had killed over Thirty THOUSAND Taliban and AQ forces. The only reason we didn't get Bin Laden then, was the paper pushing pencil necks at the Pentagon didn't have the balls to give full operational command to the boot level....those folks on the ground had to await strike permission on certain pieces of terrain. Then the conventional forces under the command of Tommy Franks (HATED by the SF) almost totally screwed things up when they got into the fray. Read this book. You'll feel lots better!
Thank you, ExSoldier. Anonymous' book proved to be quite pessimistic in most regards.

Anonymous stressed this as well- also said that we need to know that we are in a full-blown war- and not worry about PC or the "Arab Street".
