Do you know any good reason why we have not done so?

Yes.

Raiding the madrassas won't get the job done.

Victory in this war requires the simultaneous conquest and occupation of the Arabian peninsula and Pakistan.

This is a job for an Army of 80-100 divisions.

We don't have it, and aren't planning to create it.

Good enough for you?

Not by itself. But, it would indicate that we know what we're doing and we're serious about doing it.

I think one after the other might do nicely. Saudi Arabia might not even be necessary. Especially if the madrassas have already been paved.

I'd gladly leave such decisions up to a competent Secy of Defense. Of course, that implies that Rummy would have to go.

Don't go ballistic now. We could keep him on as DOD press secy since runnin his mouth seems to be his strong suit.

Good enough for you?

Would sitting in Iraq and bleeding be good enough for anything but the whiniest of Sheeple?
