One point that someone made-I can’t remember who-maybe it was McChrystal- not sure-anyway-he said that just killing the enemy wasn’t enough. He said that the Russians killed over a million in their conflict in Afghanistan and it didn’t get them anywhere. Reading that really bothered me.

Agreed. Muzzies follow Islam, which is a political/religious ideology. They must be broken a million ways from here to Mars, and if that means nukes and sowing salt in the earth, then so be it.

I don’t recall hearing that...and I agree it’s disturbing.

That person was right on the mark.

I am encouraged that Gen. Petraeus seemed to learn from mistakes he had made earlier. That's a good sign. Let's hope he takes the right course in Afghanistan.
