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 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!!

 

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.

 

This is 100% correct. 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.
