#1 'Dire' is Rooters choice of adjective, not mine.

The map is worth a look.

Looks like Pashtunistan is the problem

Which makes Pashtunistan the solution.

#4 Rantburg has been advocating that solution for a while. Pashtunistan. Wall. Moat. Crocodiles. Big crocodiles. With frickin' lasers on their heads ...

#5 At this point, the US military strategy should be to "Kill as many al-Qaeda and Taliban as possible and GTFO."

This is because the US military's real enemy is in Washington. The most far left liberals are now demanding that Afghan forces be doubled or tripled, yet cut back on support so that they can't fight, only suffer.

I fear that they want a draft, and want a stalemate, so they can relive the glory days of their worthless Vietnam-era youth. And they don't care how many soldiers have to die for them to get it.

It is that pathetic. So the sooner they are out of that a-hole of the world, the better.

#6 The most far left liberals are now demanding that Afghan forces be doubled or tripled, yet cut back on support so that they can't fight, only suffer.

The solution for Pashtunistan, dare I say it is Ethnic Cleansing. The solution for the Mad Liberals® is ideological cleansing. And I think it is going to come to that.

#10 The war can't be taken to the enemy, because the enemy is harbored in UN phony refugee camps in Pakistan.
