#1 the jackass needs to stand up and make his decision now.
Were I him, I would give the General what he asked.

This is not leadership, it is a meatgrinder.

#2 So we sit out a couple of rounds. Let the idiot tribes fight for whats left of the country -full scale civil war would be o.k. After about four years of this shit we can step back in and be the strong horse.

#3 Designate the Taliban a terror org and go after them and anyone who deals with them. I hate when they politicize the military, especially when it is the old draft dodgers and hippies advising our Coward-in-Chief.

#4 again, what's the end-state w/these f*ckers? Go Real Politik and deal w/the less distasteful criminals? If they don't want to deal, kill them? I'm fine either way but Zero needs to come up w/a clearly defined and realistic commander's intent. Putting a bunch of Army guys in the bottom of a bowl in order to be close to the populace is prolly the wrong call.
