In both cases, yeah, unlike Goering's wet dreams of wining a war solely by air, the slow evolution of air power puts us in reach of actually do this. To control a land you must put boots on the ground, but this would need constant bombing, say of their mountain caves. This would also entail doing what Biden ordered his drones to do, wipe out the ISIS dudes involved last week with the airport attack. Follow up? He killed their children that were traveling with their two planners, possibly using their own children as hostages. "The Kuffar wouldn't dare attack us now!" Obama's troops had the same issue with Bin Laden himself, using one of his own son's as shielding. We could win, or we could do empire crap, and keep the jihadists at bay, but this means constant pressure, constant 'disrupting the ant hill. If we're not mentally good with this, and I am not sure if I am, then we do have a situation where we absorb whatever strikes the jihadists throw at us, Next time bio, maybe nukes, and then try and bomb somebody to blame. Like Bubba Clinton striking a pharma plant in Sudan, to persuade us hicks. I think we can do better than this, but not with Joe or Kamala or their assistants. One thing I just thought of was another historic event. The event was this question: What ended the Mongol Empire? The answer is The Little Ice Age. The Atlantic Oscillation ran low and slow, and the snow packs wrecked the roads of the Khan's so they couldn't send troops, soldiers, messengers. They went broke. Thus, AGW might break the Jihad? This is something as you have pointed out that me and all my bomb-lust have not.

My method (being junior Napoleon) if they failed to listen, which they would have, would invoke a level of "my" brutality not seen since the Christmas bombing of Haiphong Harbor, Christmas 1972. And what was the end result of the Haiphong Harbor, Christmas bombing of 1972? It didn't work, the USA still lost the war. And I have to ask, if the USA had won the Vietnam war would we be better off today? Nope. > Refined, to use lots of your favorite and mine, thermobaric's. Been there. Done that.

Setting a goal is easy but actually achieving a goal can sometimes be just a tad more difficult. I keep asking for specifics on exactly what your brilliant plan for winning the war in Afghanistan is and all I get from you is "use a bigger bomb", apparently you think the 21,600 pound GBU43/B MOAB just isn't big enough . >An H-bomb would open many doors and all of then leading to bad places.

True, the other choice, besides getting out, was to just keep doing what we've been doing for the last 20 years for another 20 years and hope things will be different. I note that Albert Einstein once said "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” John K Clark See what's on my new list at Extropolis vfx xay -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
