The US "super power" is starting look whimpy as they cannot make a dent into a bunch of Afgan coat herders.

Afgan coat herders.

Patience, Abdul. We'll send them some coats.

I believe you are in error. We have made a dent in the 'goat herders'-- It'll just take a little while to take effect.

The Taliban now have severe C3I problems, and they cannot feasibly re-supply their 'troops' and logistics are a death trap.

Be patient. You win a war by controlling the order of battle-- fighting the war on your terms.

Your impatience (perhaps brought on by listening to the news media, no offense) would increase our casualties.

We are not yet really trying to kill people and break their stuff. That'll happen when we have the conditions we want and create. Afterall, this is not about capturing Afghanistan.

Your comments are either to stir things up a bit or you're stupid? I hope it's to stir things up?

Do some reading or watch the daily DOD briefings. We've hit over 2500 buildings, trucks, planes and Taliban assets !
