Joe Biden must have lost his mind. I mean really. HE is the big foreign affairs guru that Obama had to have to help him navigate the world's political waters--his experience, insight and statesmanship were simply paramount, and today I read online that Obama is considering multiple options in Afghanistan, including possibly ceding some regions of Afghanistan to the Taliban. So it just had to be Biden who went a little batty, or was drunk in the war room when some of these HORRIBLE ideas were formulated.
Listen: I have told all of you out there for years now that the ONLY WAY TO WIN A WAR IS BY FORCING UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER. Period the end. Any war we won, that is what we forced our enemies to do. (Gulf War I did not fall into a war we won, because we had to go back 10 years later and we are still there. That is a modern day Viet-Nam. )

Winning a war in Afghanistan is going to take a shitload more troops than we have on the ground now. It also means we need to use those troops more wisely than we have thus far. I do not profess to be a military expert but I do know sending men, vehicles and supplies through ravines in hostile territory not only sets us up like ducks in a barrel its NOT the way to run an effective war.
The biggest problem is in the modern age, killing is just not fashionable. Killing innocents is certainly not fashionable. However, in war there is no fashion. There is nothing but war. Therefore, we need to kill a lot people in Afghanistan. A lot. If Taliban are hiding amongst civilians, sorry, they all die. It has to be the way. You may not agree with it, but it is the very simple truth.
So here is the problem. Biden wants us to pull out all together. Obama knows he can't do that because he promised to do what really needs to be done. Catch and kill Osama Bin Laden.
Enough is enough. Right? One man and his merry smell men declared war on the United States of America, flawlessly executed acts of terror and we still have not caught him. Pulling out without getting our man would send the wrong kind of message to the world. We would be sitting ducks for terror attack after terror attack. Unfortunately, we are in this and we are not getting out until we get our man. So why is it so hard to go and get him? It has been 8 years since 9/11. If we don't get our man we will have many more 9/11's in the future.
