Sim Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 There is a lot of interesting discussion being brought up about how to fix Afghanistan so I thought I'd start it's own thread. So I ask you this...you're in charge either as POTUS, SECSTATE, ISAF/CC....basically somebody who can set the strategy for Afghanistan. What do you do to fix it? Do you keep the counter-insurgency strategy? Do you go for another military surge? Reconcile with the Taliban but finance them rather than having AQ finance them? Pull out? Three cups of tea. For everyone. With polonium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockheedFix Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 The problem with Afghanistan ....is that it's full of Afghans! Best use of a movie quote to accurately illustrate a point in an online discussion goes too...HOSS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amcflyboy Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Seriously, there's no fixing Afghanistan. Over the centuries it's been the country where superpowers go to play war until they get bored, and then quit. Nobody wins or loses (though the Soviets had a good go at losing), they just get bored (or broke) and quit. I'm afraid we will eventually do the same. We've been there for almost ten years, with very little tangible gains over the past eight, and no meaningful gains on the horizon either. Exactly...you can't fix stupid...er, uh, ignorance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
