#1 "By supporting the mujahideen in Kashmir, we have tied down at least four Indian divisions there.

You have brought four divisions of Indian army to your border and you think that is clever?
Geesh!

#2 That sort of military genius explains their successes on the battlefield, doesn't it?

#4 First, Iraq diverted the West's military might and focus.

Right.

And Shinseki was fired because of his clumsy and unrealistic Iraq occupation plans.

And the Army is broken.

And .......

There really hasn't been much of a debate these last 7 or so years. There's one camp living mostly in a make-believe world, so arguing analysis or conclusions with them has forever to be put on hold while factual premises are straightened out. I've noticed this in the (few) personal discussions I've been willing to even enter on these topics with folks who parrot Beltway/MSM nonsense.

#5 my thoughts, indeed, Verlaine

So what went wrong? First, Iraq diverted the Wests military might and focus.

there was no real problem once the Talibs had their ass kicked out of Afghanistan, until Pakis/ISI decided to "great game" us by allowing them to rearm, reconfigure, and re-establish across the border.

Joe Six-Pakistanis will suffer for allowing this shit to go on, but, hey, they believe in martyrdom, so, on a national scale, that's gotta be a good thing, right?
