snafu Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 See I've been thinking we should listen to Gen. Stanley McChrystal becuase he's there. But now I think we need to think as the al-Qaida think. We should sit back, collect intelligences and watch. I thought we should run in there with troops and level the playing field. Living in Alaska I should know better. The playing field is to big. We need to take on their tactics. I hate to say it but I think Bidden is right. I'm sure their strengths are more than a hundred strong but you can't fight them if they aren't as a unit as we perceive it. We need to quit ing with our CIA and other means of intellagence and fight them on their grounds. That's our only hope. Intelligence!!

RoyalOrleans Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 Where al-Qaida weakens, the Taliban strengthens. ADDENDUM: We should all listen to General McChrystal, because he is one of few "straight shooters" left out there.

I have a relative in Afghanistan who was attacked a few nights ago. luckily he and his men came out alive. He says the Taliban can't shoot for I'm going out today to get many needed supplies for them. Quote Do the right thing!
