#5  This would be the Michael Scheuer whose positions on the Zionist Entity have the approval of David Duke? Even Wikipedia doesn't think much of him, which as we know takes some doing.

#4  The US surged in Iraq and Afghanistan and still lost both wars, for example, and Russia is now losing its second war in the North Caucasus.

I thought this was a odd statement by Scheuer.

#3  The author expects me to believe he knows more than the Indian government? Now, if he said he knows more than Obama, I'd believe him. Box in those Paks and maybe they'll be a little less troublesome in Kashmir.

#1  From the cited article: Washington and its NATO allies believed their 2001 occupation of the major Afghan cities signified... an erasure of two millennia of Afghan history and religion that afforded an opportunity to start the country anew.
This is a gross exaggeration. Maybe a neo-con on cocaine believed that when high, no one else did. The occupation did put the jihadis off balance & forced them to re-group, that's about all that can be said for it. As things stand now, only the Taliban want to 'start the country anew' using their barbarian outline. The West is not interested in providing the troops and cash for the next 50 years, which would be necessary to remodel Afghanistan into something better.
