NATO/U.S.-LED COALITION FORCES:
United States 458
Britain 82

Afghanistan is not our priority, threats for us are more accurated from north Africa, Sahel

Afghanistan totally while they have a state of their own just
across the border in Pakistan.
I fretted last week about Pakistan and worried and hoped that
the Pentagon has a war plan to seize or destroy Pakistan’s
nuclear weapons before the fall of the Musharaff government.
and that was before the coup that happened there this weekend.
Thinking we have only a few weeks before the fall of that government.
Hope I’m wrong.
The two terror states today are Iran and Pakistan. I’m guessing
we have plans for Iran and probably no plans for Pakistan.
I read that the al-qaeda plan for winning wars against the USA
is just to keep fighting in the knowledge that it is hugely
expensive for us to conduct modern warfare and eventually we’ll
get tired. I think we need to avoid being caught in a situation
where we are seen to be cooperating with a new dictator (Musharaff)
or allowing the Taleban to take over Pakistan, which seems a
distinct possibility.
Maybe we should enter Waziristan without permission, mainly

I was thinking about these figures. In six years of war as a comparison…during the German blitz over Britain, there were 44,000 civilian casualties; of which there were 8,000 deaths. The contrast in Afghanistan after six years of war is striking.
Afghanistan will not be won until the war in Pakistan against the irhabis is also won. So long as the terrorists have a Ho Chi Minh trail to run to…this war will not end.
