Micheal Schuber Interview-CIA

[275RLTW]

I was wondering when Patton's Arab quote would come up....

I agree that we cannot fight a war and be politically correct at the same time. BTDT, have the scars to remind me. More was accomplished in the first few months of war in Afghanistan when no one even knew what was happening than in the past 7-8 years. I also agree, as much as I do not like it, that we cannot ignore the ramifications of not being somewhat diplomatic or civil in this effort. If we do not change their views, the years of brainwashing; we will be back again. The humanitarian role, although not what we typically attribute to warfare, is important to the overall process. Like I said, I don't necessarily agree, but it is a necessary role. There is a line between too much interference with the soldiers out front and providing media support for the workers in the rear building schools. That line is getting crossed more and more, preventing our soldiers from doing their job effectively.
There are some over there with such a twisted midset and view of the western world, that there is no solution for them except a 62 gr injection to the head. We all agree that they are threats to not just our society, but every society including their own. These individuals must be hunted down, in whatever country they are hiding in. Again, PC has to stay out. We cannot capture and pamper these fanatics, they must be dealt with severely and out of the public's eye. Not everyone in the world needs to know how it's being done, just that it is.

Lol, I've been saying that for a while too. Just bring our troops home. Send in a few black teams and tell 'em to clean up the mess... The conventional war would be over in a month at the most and most of the "terrorist leaders" would never be heard from again.

so we invaded iraq for the oil, now we're in afghanistan for the minerals.

okey dokey.

Oh yeah? Well look what invading Iraq got us, besides waging a war based on false pretences: A Shite domminated government with Iranian ties, that is a gateway for Iran to take over the whole Middle East!
They estimate the wealth for Afganistan's diamonds, gold, copper and uranium at 1 trillion dollars; and that will make the Taliban fight so much harder.
"Afganistan is the graveyard of empires"

[RARGUNS]

I wish we would have taken the oil. It might have been worth it then. Instead, WE paid to repair their oil infrastructure and now we're paying them for the oil. I think we should take the oil until we've recovered the cost of both Iraq wars.
