A war can't be won from the air, alone. There's no way around putting infantry soldiers on the ground. That's just a reality of warfare.
The Enola Gay
CV(N)-6 USS EnterpriseWhere did the Enola Gay take off from when she went on that mission????
I'll give you a hint: it wasn't California.

We should nuke Afghanistan?
The Democrats can't finish (and win) a war if they tried. Barack Obama needs to quit with his empty promises. He will go down as one of the worst US presidents in history.
Maybe it's just me, but it seems to me the war is "finished" when the president says it's finished (provided the media likes the president and is willing to back him up).
Why is Iraq suddenly "finished"?
Because Obama says so.
The majority of the American people don't want to be at war. We're eager to believe progress has been made, and our troops are free to come home.
Obama could announce next week that we've won the war in Afghanistan, that we've achieved "victory", as defined by a new set of guidelines that he and his war council have made up, and the majority of Americans would be dancing in the streets.
Everybody's sick of bad news, sick of this long war. Nobody really knows what we're supposed to be doing over there anymore.
Americans are tired of the recession, tired of unemployment, tired of the daily rising casualty count in the middle east.
Most of us just want Obama to talk pretty to us again, about "hope" and "change".

Obama vows to ‘finish the job’ in Afghanistan
Does anyone think this can end well, or soon? I can't imagine a scenario that works.

The first 911 came from there, and we should have carpet bombed the mountains out there with nukes. It averted many American deaths at the end of WWII, and would have done the same here. It also would have proven once and for all that we don't take **** off of anybody.If the next 911 comes from there, you betcha.
caution is a bad thing in warfare?Because, as someone whose supposed to be a leader, he needs to display some decisiveness and the ability to think on his feet. What PBO has done was prove that he doesn't possess either quality and tried to pass it off as being careful. Caution is a bad thing in warfare. It sucks when politicians worry more about their politics than they do about their soldiers that on the battlefield.

911 is Clinton's fault, but everthing after that till eternity is Bush's fault.To quote words you keep repeating, that's Bush's fault. :mrgreen:
what would you have him do?It can, but PBO ain't the man for the job. He made that statement today to take the heat off the fact that he's totally screwing the pooch.

i don't for one minute believe that obama is more worried about himself than the country.
how, specifically?what would i have him do?
win
I'm sorry, but he entirely is. He hasn't spent the last six months devising a strategy for Afghanistan. He's spent the last six months trying to figure out how to play the polls, and what he can and can't get away with in NOT supporting the military.
He's only sending more troops because the polls say he has to. Period. This guy is a ideological oaf.
this always happens....people bitch and moan and offer no solutions.that's all up to him, i'm afraid
