I agree with Karzai. We need to get out of Afghanistan.

With the termination of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan, it became obvious that we had grasped the wrong end of the stick. The enemy is Pakistan, the Taliban are their tools, as was ObL. We cannot win in Afghanistan without destroying Pakistan.

Furthermore, our soldiers in Afghanistan are hostages to Pakistan, because they are being supplied through Pakistan. So, we must accept the logic of the situation, and remove our soldiers and equipment, ASAP.

Once that is done, we need to deal with Pakistan's nuclear weapons, which were undoubtedly supplied to them by the Chinese and/or the NoKos.

We need to ally very strongly with India to contain Pakistan. If India wants to reclaim Kashmir, Punjab, and Sind, we should back them up.

We also need to destroy Pakistan's nuclear capability. Commando raids are a possibility, but I would be happy to use conventional or nuclear bombs on them.

Pakistan is far to big a mess to try to do nation building, and it would be far too expensive. Let India deal with it.

Let us load every Paki operated Yellow Cab (with operator) in NYC with right of return Gitmo detainees packed with HE and load them on Herky Birds for delivery. From 20,000 feet.

I've long wondered why God let Teller make the Hydrogen bomb. It is beginning to make sense.

The full force of the Afghan government? That would be us wouldn't i?. Karzai would have to ask himself - "are you feeling lucky today, are ya?"

'... must leave Afghanistan.'

Bushy Whiskers dead, check.
Taliban pee-pees smacked hard, check.

A long time ago I was assigned to JTF Sea Angel, in Bangladesh. We came ashore, we fed the masses, we drilled some new wells, we done some good.

By week six it was clear the job was done. The ops officer hung a banner, made of fan-fold paper, above his desk, where the general passed by daily.

The general laughed: he was a stand-up guy and knew the score.

I repeat the text here because it's so appropriate;

'WE'RE DONE SIR. CAN WE GO HOME NOW?'

Mighty tough talk after the SEALS handily took out bin Laden. He must feel emboldened (or scared shitless) by The Arab Spring. I blame President Brilliance, of course, and his deliberate anti-America, anti-West tone, not to mention his anti-Israel stance. I support the troops, not their commander-in-chief. I wouldn't mind seeing them come home now.

Karzai wants the UN to stop bombing houses. Maybe he should stop housing bombers.

Great...And my Marine-son is going back for another tour in the Fall.
