I DUNNO , on one hand I would like to say that is ridiculous , on the other , what else would you tell the youngsters in Helmand and Kandahar that will be killed & maimed because we are there and not in control of said regions ? .... If it was me , I would say , I am sorry , getting all of you out at the end of the week , no more patrols until then , beer is on the the dumbasses that have you here on Saturday . This concludes my speach , thank you for your cooperation. Naturally , my speach wins .

Ok, you got a point.
In that case, why not say what Bush/Cheney kept on saying about Iraq bloodbath, "stay the course".

The one that consists of bankrupting the United States Citizens and imposing a police state dictatorship on them - so that they DEMAND world government.
OK - what strategy would that be?

If exterminating innocents is the strategy, then yes it's working. The mass shooting of civilians by one soldier is simply a work-aholic over achiever.

[QUOTE=moderate libertarian;4283635]Ok, you got a point.
In that case, why not say what Bush/Cheney kept on saying about Iraq bloodbath, "stay the course". Do not get me wrong , by upbringing , principle , and general personality "defects " , I am , a " stay the course " kind of guy , but unless it is something personal , that I can just live with no other " course " ,( I would not include others in that ) at some point , as a responsible human being , you must accept the failed situation ( especially , in this case , where , YOU are not invaded ) , and do what is needed to protect lives of your own . This whole thing has been a clusterfuck . Where do all the casualties come from ? How can they be avoided ? did anyone do these things ? No . It is a disgrace , but that disgrace does not fall on these youngsters on the ground . Casualties come from IED's , do not move troops on the ground , if you have to , do not use the roads , never were there enough troops to control the two most dangerous regions of Kandahar & Helmand ,nothing , but doomed failure . Get the fuck out now, one more death is not worth anything .

How the hell can they hit us if we're not in their damn land? Let's focus on national defense instead!

I regret my rough language , but , some things must be accepted , I intend to offend no person , I was raised better , but ,at times , I may revert back to my days as a scarred , battered , tired , young fellow who wanted to see the worlld , I did, and then some . I wish all of the young people here could see , feel , taste , smell what I and my forefathers have .

I don't think anything wrong with expressing one's views plainly and directly as long it is a civil discourse. Passionate debate happens, nothing wrong with it.

Panetta: "Our strategy is working."
The Taliban quickly vowed revenge for the slayings. In a strongly worded statement posted on their website, the insurgent group threatened to kill and behead the "sadistic murderous soldiers" behind the attack.
Yep. Works like a charm, and EXACTLY how you want it to work.:mad:

His strategy is to fill people with so much hatred for Americans that they would crash a vehicle and come out burning alive and still try to attack us. It's working.

from someone who has someone she loves that is in the thick of all this and who has friends who are in the thick thick thick of it-- we are asking this question every single damn day.
our conclusion:
The one that consists of bankrupting the United States Citizens and imposing a police state dictatorship on them - so that they DEMAND world government.
and when we share that we get blank stares and/or are dismissed.

I hope he is not in the neverlands , if he is , you should let me know , and I will include him in my prayers . Granted , I may not be the most qualified person to pray , but I do it everyday .
