...was just interviewed on fox news.  Q: What kind of challenge would afghanistan be to our military?  A:  none whatsoever.

Alrighty then.  We team up with the russians and attack from the north.  Israel attacks from the west.  We meet at the Euphrates.  Its a win win win all the way around.

This is a pipe dream. But a very nice one.

We really do need to get together with the Russians. We have far more in common...

absolutely. i had the considerable privilege recently of speaking with several Americans who are working in Russia to get some joint ventures going.  Russia has a lot of problems, but a lot of potential as well.  to a growing extent our interests are parallel.

Be careful here...

The Russians couldn't kick the Afghan's asses in a day,  so we probably can't either, even with our "terrible resolve."

The Russians attempted to pacify.  We are going to KILL.  Total War would leave no one alive to resist.

... Afganistan is a shithole. Geographically it almost perfectly lends itself as a guerrilla hideout.
Mostly rugged, arid mountains.
Remember, we tried to dispatch Bin Laden there with ALCM's and weren't successful then.
