You’re damn right. This is no time to go all wobbly.
And that was a douchey move by Butler, but it’s the same one made by all the crow eaters on the left: “Oh, if only we’d delayed invading Iraq until we won in Afghanistan!!!” Which is pretty much horseshit. We won in Afghanistan in a matter of weeks. Yes, Obama Osama got away. With the help of our ally Pakistan. Does missing Hitler mean the Allies lost WWII? Not at all. And then we went and treated the bearded mud dwellers there like human beings. Which may have been a mistake because a red hot iron fist may have been called for, at the cost of the oh-so-important World Opinion. And the little buggers went and reformed. So they’ve had to be swatted down several times since. And that has cost British, Danish, American lives. What’s not to understand? You can’t put much of a benificent government into Afghanistan because the people there are rather primitive and naturally violent to begin with. There, I’ve said the unsayable. They’re a few centuries ahead of cavemen, but only a few.
Now, if General Drew was in charge, there would be no Taliban problem today. No insurgent problem, and no poppy problem. Because I would have burned the whole fucking country to the ground in a week. Every man, boy, and goat. As a simple lesson to the world. And accidently sent the fires of retribution 100 miles into Pakistan and Iran. Oops, sorry, here’s a donut. We’ll try not to let that happen again. Honestly.
Not to forget Canadian lives as well. I still think this is the right thing to do, and as was mentioned recently the taliban are on the run. We will ultimately prevail, but what sickens me to my boot laces is the gutlessness of the rest of the NATO. They are an absolute shower. If the Germans, Dutch, Belgians etc. want to be considered members of NATO then they should pull their collective fingers out. Personally I think we should disband NATO in favour of a new alliance of the English speaking world.
