File under: Taliban

#1 So start a dramatic response. Spray fungus and virus designed for poppy eradication all over Afghanistan and Pakiwakiland.

#2 this would not harm anyone else but the Americans themselves

And a bazillion Taliban.

#3 Maybe a little napalm thrown in for good measure.

#4 Tactical retreat may be hooted and heckled by the enemy and your detractors, but it's the best thing to do right now. Trump hasn't yet mustered 'the bad' it'll take to win this.

A pull out and denial of Afghan territory to CIA officials will also have other advantages back home. I say that in light of this.

#5 I think it is not uncommon to blow the living hell out of an enemy as a cover for a retreat. Just saying i'd be up for a few rolling thunder runs around the taliban headquarters as we pull out.

And what 3dc said. Deny them the opium cash that we should have denied them a decade ago.

#6 Taliban: More Americans will die after secret Camp David talks canceled

Come on. We don't even flinch on the body count in Chicago or Baltimore.
