I would have thought better of you. You know superior force is the key to victory.

If that were always the case, the Afghans would be speaking Russian.

Much has to do with the political will to use that superior force.

I don't think the Soviets ever had much lack in political will, especially when it came to their satellites.

But Afghanistan wasn't one of their political sats. Nor is it ours. Today we send UAVs and hope to win.

But it is a hot war.

I think that the Soviets would have disagreed, especially given the pleas from the DRA.

Tricky to invade a sovereign nation such as Pakistan without permission. Especially when Pakistan did not attack the United States.

Yes.

That is an Obama manifestation. Attacking Pakistan; No neocon boogie man involved.

The incursion into Pakistan. Or, if your prefer, the preemtive nature of this new war. Your general feelings on foreign involvement and nation building. Consider the floor your's.

I don't want to take over Af or Paki-stan. The US has never been an imperial nation, beyond popular thought from those who nation's have been.


Obama is now waging a war he wants to lose. By crossing borders he has shown nothing less.

Okay, what I am really interested in is your view on the so-called Bush Doctrine, of which Obama's war is a philisophical continuation.

What do you think is the 'Bush Doctrine'? I don't have any view concerning that. Please enlighten me. Is it like the Roosevelt Doctrine after the Pearl Harbor attack?
