AR…

What I advocate and what I expect are two different things.

I figure that the ramp up in Afghanistan, under current conditions, is exactly like piling on the man-power at Stalingrad circa September 1942.

We have no flanks, we are bringing our essentials right through the battle space… !

I would much prefer to withdraw most American forces, almost all NATO non-forces, and finance an Indian expedition of mountain troops. Without heavy elements the Indians could place and maintain a lot of boots on the ground.

Flitting around the battle space, sucking down the fuel is strategic disaster.

Right now the ISI is making us look like chumps.

BHO wants us to be double chumps.

And I’m afraid that your scenario is entirely too plausible.

Still, me thinks that BHO would like to loose a battle fleet at the same time, too.

Kind of like AH destroying his Air Fleet while losing 22 divisions and crippling his essential allies.

Lets think big.
