#2 Just cannon fodder. Plenty more where they came from. What we need is to whack the leaders in Pakistan.

#4 By any reasonable standard (i.e., Western), the crazies in Afghanistan and Iraq are taking terrible losses. At some point will they get the picture?

#5 At some point will they get the picture?

Unlikely. They have a very large recruiting pool that does not have broadband connectivity. Instead they have the local imam. The way we are conducting this war, it could go on for centuries as is. But, they will do something that will change the way we conduct it. Then what is happening to the Lions of Islam will be apparent even to those in outer Waziristan, that is if there is still anyone alive in outer Waziristan.

#6 You have to hit 'em where they live to end this thing which means villages, mosques, madrassas, infrastructure and "civilian" casualties inside Pakiland. Hey, it's war. It isn't supposed to be nice and, remember, they hit us where we live with no regard for our civilian casualties. Teach them and their fellow muzzies around the world a lesson. When they are all either dead or living in caves with no heat, water or food and cut off from any outside support they might be ready to quit.

And if the Paks don't like it, tough. Sooner or later something will probably have to be done about them anyway. Anything else is BS and it probably could go on forever.

#7 Afghan forces counted "more than four dozen" insurgents killed, it said.

Probably inflated.
