Afghanistan: 180 degree alternate plan! Read this!

My big empty head ^

[Hammerhead]

Freeps, while sitting bedside with my 5 year old waiting for her to finish puzzles I got the 'brilliant' idea of how to possibly handle the Afghan situation - an idea to far out in left field, that there is NO WAY the Taliban bottom feeders could figure out how to handle it!!! Check this out: 1st we actively side with the rebels in the north and have them start a campaign to join their side. "Oh, no kidding Hammerhead you big goof. Like that hasn't already be thought of!!!", you say. But here's the BEUTIFUL part. All the while the rebels are recruiting, start BOMBING the citizens (women, children, men) of Afghanistan and northern Pakistan, with........here goes..... blankets, comic books, toys, food, reading glasses, toiletries, all the basic good things in life. That would throw the Taliban in FITS!!!!!! just friggin keep bombing the country with the stuff!!! The general population would say hey T-men, F-off were going the Gringo's and the boys up north that are trying to get rid of your sorry asses!!! Am I a kook or what?

Add Christina Aguilera and Brittney Spear CDs to that and they'll have trouble recruiting suicide bombers. We can supply them with houris to pleasure them in this world. *kof*

This isn't so far-fetched. Things like this have been done before, and doubtless will be used this time. We will win the hearts and minds of these people, the great majority of whom don't give a flyin' flip at a rollin' donut what happens to the Taliban or their Arab "guests".

[Petronski]

Well, I did mean 1,800 degrees, but you may have a point about 18,000. Hopefully that won't be necessary, but I fear ultimately it will.

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

Ooo, I LOVE that idea! Parachute about 100 MILLION Christian tracts, blanket the damn streets with them. Suck that, Taliban.

That's doubly effective. It will also piss off the libs back home.

I've heard rumors that Osama Bin Laden is Homo. Anybody else hear anything about that? Perhaps the people over there should be informed of this.

Wouldn't make a difference... from what I understand, Arab culture is more accepting of that particular quirk than we are... at least, if the idea of being provided virgins and little boys in heaven when you are a martyr for the cause is any indication...

[billybudd]

I think food is the best idea, since that's what the Afghans want the most. I don't think dropping porno will do anything, because there's no sense in demoralizing the civilian population. Maybe a guided cruise dildo...

[Chad Fairbanks]

Bold off???

[Hugh Akston]

I think we should send Herb Tarlek (or however it is spelled) up in a helicopter to give out free Thanksgiving turkeys to all the families of the Taliban.

[sharktrager]

fix?

[freepy smurf]

Comic books? They could get paper cuts. I'm reporting you to the Pinky Milktoast Society of Kinder/Gentler Diplomacy. They'll fix you.

[sharktrager]

God as my witness... I thought Turkey's could fly!

[blam]

The Afraganistan ambassador to the UN, (From the Northern Alliance), tonight said that if we would take care of all the air duties that his folks could take care of everything on the ground.

[DAnconia55]

Govt. paid hookers may do the trick also.

Congress is already busy.

[Hammerhead]

"God as my witness... I thought Turkey's could fly!"

Jeesh,.........Californians.

[F-117A]

Font fixed?

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Soap. LOTS of soap.

LOL, but lot for friggin' good it'll do. They'll take one bit, spit it on the ground and think, "American food sucks."

[Betty Jo]

He has three wives, and one is a Taliban Chiefs daughter!

[Betty Jo]

Overwhelming love for women and children!

Tampex, Kotex,toilet paper,baby diapers, moist toweletts,on and on!

Check out this thread too

And don't laugh, it's probably the best weapon.

[Goetz_von_Berlichingen]

Your plan reminds me of a scene from the film el Cid where the Christians are besieging the Moslem town of Valencia. The encirclement is supposed to have lasted around nine months. When el Cid (Charlton Heston) was about to launch the final assault on the starving townsfolk, the Spanish wheeled up their catapults, but instead of throwing stones they tossed hundreds of loaves of bread over the walls. Naturally, the starving townsfolk rose up in revolt against the Jihadist garrison, tossed their king from the parapets, and opened the gates to the Spanish.

And I have no idea whether this actually happened.
