File under: Taliban

#1 The British left Musa Qala late last year after negotiating with elders to keep the talibunnies out. This is much like their current retreat from Basra. Their liberal PC leaders are betraying the brave British fighting men. These are the same people who said we were wrong to stand up to the Jihadis in Fallujah.

Ah, the liberal mind is convinced that you can pick up a turd by the clean end!

#4 Seems like these guys are getting whacked with great regularity lately ~ 100/day. Maybe we will run out of bunnies soon.

Nope. They breed like rabbits.

#6 The greatest strategic question in the WOT is at what point the enemy's rate of attrition becomes unsustainable.

The Confederates lost something like 400,000 before they called it quits. The Soviets lost millions and never caved. This may take a while. I don't see any acceptable alternatives at the moment. Best to get on with it. Might not be that bad. The Anbaris have already had enough. Could be a trend.

Only, what's a tinny?
