Cannoneer; They do seem to be cream puffs when they wander into Waziristan, don’t they? What’s up with that?

I’m not saying that we couldn’t whip ‘em. We could. But this won’t be a popular uprising supported by SF and JTACS. This would be a forced entry, resisted occupation, and cause a backlash that we haven’t even imagined.

Efforts to get the civilian government to get their arms around the ISI are more likely to bear fruit. In the meantime, an Afghanistan capable of dealing with cross-border threats would be a good idea.

First we have to secure the Afghan side.
