"We have been sparing in the amount of ordnance we have dropped on the Taliban front lines. We have not yet employed B-2s and B-52s, the most destructive weapons in our airborne arsenal, against them. We shouldn't fight this war in increments."

Exactly right. The longer this war is protracted, the more likely it will bog down - and the snipes from the left will increase to a roar - indeed, the price of delay is already starting to be paid.

Well said! It is time to quit fighting this "War" with political correctness! Turn it over to the military and let's make short work of it. If we have to kill every living thing in Afghanistan, so be it. They certainly didn't care about our civilians and non-combatants on 9-11 !

Bump!

Tomorrow is Sunday and it should turn out to be a good day for fair weathered friends in Afghanastan! If the weather isn't nice, then there is going to be some bad repercussions, so lets hope for the weather to be good! Thats all I have to say and "War is Hell"! No doubt in my mind! Grassontop

I sincerely hope that Bush doesn't get squishy when it comes time to do what is ugly but necessary.

Unlike his Dad who had a true conservative, Maggie Thatcher, to give him a backbone ("This is not the time to go wobbly, George," said she to him) this George has nothing but CEOs and sychophants to confide in.

Actually, the WSJ, because it is purchased material rather than copyrighted like the Washington Post, allows for reprints (I have a subscription and called the subscription department one day to ask. The customer service representative said fair use was OK).

Johnny got real good wood on a beach-ball-like belt high fast one. A unusual feat...of late, for the maniac.
