Fight a real war.
They are used to putting an imperialist power on the strategic defensive.
We are fighting to destroy them.
They think they can hold on to territory and establish ObL's delsuioinal caliphate.
They claim they are willing to die as much as we love life.
We are letting them pile their resources into fewer areas with greater concentrations. Meanwhile they try and project a machisimo that the fact that we have destroyed their stockpiles, made easy movement impossible and totally control the skies, their logistics, and we are well stocked as winter comes on.
We are going to give them a lot of opportunities to die, over the next few months.
This is not some Israeli style show raid, where we strike with flashy, ineffective lightning. We are in this for a real purpose: to destroy the Taliban/ObL (which are one and the same).
The fascistification of popular Moslem culture is our real enemy.
The only way to beat it is to beat it militarily in Afghanistan, follwed by relentless destruciton of the fascist leaders who spread the lies they spread to the frustrated masses of the Moslem world.
We can offer reasonable people in these societies assistance as appropriate AFTER our interests are secured.
