The whole problem with the war on terror is that a yutz is in charge! Granted I am no Alexander the Great, Julius Ceasar, or Napolean when it comes to strategy--but Bush and his advisors are militarily incompetant.--first hand view of that simple fact.

In Afganistan it would have been better to employ hammer & anvil tactics to effect a battle of annihalation. What Bush did was assign special forces with the Northern Alliance to drive from East to West allowing the terrorest to escape into Pakistan/Iran. Better to have used airborne and special forces to cut off the terrorest retreat and have the regular army work with the Northern Alliance and drive the terrorest into a killing zone. A lot fewer of these vermin would be alive today.

And who knows about Irqac--it was a mess before--during--and after the first shots where fired. We have no real European allies on board--bleeding our budget white paying for it and loosing the flower of our youth in a protracted conflict.
--Bush and his little Napoleans disbanded the Irqac army upon the collapse of Saddam. And just now are reconstituting their army. Brilliant move--not! There where 100,000 troops--now what are they at perhaps 25,000?

I hate to say it but to win this war on terror--we the USA has to be more ruthless and creative then the terrorest. But with politics and war is like oil and water--they never could mix--and never will. It will be a long long conflict till someone realizes that this has to be a total war.
