Cowards are not as determined as they would have us believe True, but who said Afghanis are cowards? As a matter of fact, these people have been in a war since the day they were born!
And, (and I know I will be attacked again), the American statement was a whole lot of piss. Yes, they know SOME of the smart bombs hit their targets, and they know that some also explode.
Remember the Gulf War? What was shown on TV was a damned bluff - the successes. IF the US Air Force had done so fantastic bombing of valuable targets, they would have shown videos - just because propaganda demands successes to show for.
So far, the Taliban has been able to show mor hits on civilian mud-huts than the US can show of valuable targets! And the claims of the Taliban is supported partly by the UN and independant journalists!
When we come to ground fighting, up in the mountains, I'm not so sure the fighting is so "futile" as the propaganda says. After all, Russia and England has tried before. Of all the English who invaded, 1 survived. More Russians survived - but the SuperPower Russia lost the battle against these "cowards".
So, I don't agree. This time, however, the Taliban don't get tons of modern weapons from nobody - and they can't keep on fighting for ever. But a fast victory - no way.
What's MORE interesting just now is when the Middle-East explodes. The idiots in Israel will make the Middle-East the problem the US fears most - I'm pretty certain about that. And what then?
The need of two new "small nuclear bombs" placed in Israel seems to be a solution, and you seem to accept those weapons as acceptable....
