Kerry--arm chair general

[dilloduck]

I'm sitting here listening to Kerry address the American legion and informing that how he would have fought the war. Specifically he said he would have used US troops in Tora Bora instead of relying on the Afghans because our troops are so much better. WTF is this loser thinking----he would have gone in without the help of allies ??? There's more but its too FOS to waste talking about it

He's dead meat--

wow...criticizm for GWB not using MORE international troops, now this? But beside that - there is NO good reason for not using the BEST resource we have there; the people who grew up in the region.

He is overlooking the fact that the reason we MAINLY (not exclusively) used Afghan troops was that the Paki's were more willing to let them cross over the border accidentally than American troops. The US was worried about violating Paki's sovereignty. Musharaf was willing to overlook Afghan troops chasing OBL and that Taliban through the mountains and possibly into Pakistan, but we knew politically that Musharaf would have had HELL to pay if US troops were spotted crossing the border. In that area the border doesn't have a big neon sign saying, "Welcome to Pakistan".

Exactly!--He needs to give up thinking that he can portray himself as commander in chief.
