Why are we losing in Afghanistan? For the same reasons we lost in Vietnam. The military is at war with the Taliban, alQaeda, and our Media, and the media is winning. I call it the Cronkite Effect...Walter Cronkite had 90% of Americans thinking we were losing in the Thet Offensive and we were winning! But that didn't matter...Walter, a Communist sympathizer, wanted the dominoes of Southeast Asia to roll down. But the issue is much larger than the media. The American people are a bunch of frightened children...with no understanding that any success in war must come with a price of collateral damage. When the dynamics of an insurgency combine with a retiscent populace, the populace must be sacrificed whether you like it or not. If the Afghanis don't want to confide in our soldiers and want to steer clear of them...that is, if the Muslim-JudeoChristian divide is that great...than DAMN the MUSLIMS. We must consider using tactical and not-so -tactical nuclear armaments to clear the ground and destroy the opposition, as well as those who can't decide who the good guys are, or don't care to. That's right..we may have to kill everyone in Afghanistan who refuses to be airlifted to prebombing safety. We must put the population through a tight sieve...leave the insurgents and drug lords alone and offer the peacable people a way out. After we do some population moving, we win the war in one day by releasing our thermonuclear stockpiles against Afghanistan and the Hindu Kush ONCE AND FOR FRIGGIN' ALL! Then we can praise our military for its strength and mercilessness. It's about time.
