Afghanistan war is 'cuckoo', says Blair's Favorite General: Are U.S Commanders Saying the Same?

Question

"Anyone who thought this was going to be a picnic in Afghanistan-anyone who had read any history, anyone who knew the Afghans, or had seen the terrain, anyone who had thought about the Taliban resurgence, anyone who understood what was going on across the border should have known to launch the British army in with the numbers there are, while we're still going on in Iraq is cuckoo,.....

those who think Afghanistan and Iraq are something we're going to muddle through for another couple of years and then we'll be able to go back to a period of relative calm. 'I don't see that happening. I think we're in an extremely volatile, dangerous world."

Brigadier Ed Butler publicly stated that an international presence may be required in Afghanistan for the next 20 years, but he did not specify how long the British forces would have to remain."

What are the top U.S brass Saying?

Answer 1

I hope not. These people want us dead. If attacking those who killed our civilians and were not in uniform (which makes them war criminals) is wrong, then I don't know what right is. These people deserve to be punished, whether it takes 1, 5, or 10 years, and your right, those are terrible circumstances to wage a war in, its naive of the liberals to think it'd take 3 weeks

Answer 2

The only thing that is cuckoo is why we don't use tech weaponry to it's full potential. If these people are so hell bent on killing the west/us, we should exterminate all of them indiscriminately.

We have the technology to annihilate and evaporate our enemies better than anyone in the world. What are we waiting for!? I'd say conquer and divide the whole region and to hell with everyone else.
