iv seen a lot of pictures of the Taliban leaders sitting in a room around a table. if you can take a picture of that then you have GPS coordinates for a cruise missile. there must be a reason for not doing that. i guess we of the great unwashed masses will never know. it has always seemed to me, the best way to stop a war is to go after the leaders that started it.

    Two things.

    1. No matter how many heads we eliminate, there we always be another radical goat * ready to step into his place.

    1. It's a very simple process to eliminate exif data from an image before posting on-line. Running it through an image editor and cropping or upping gama and then save as a copy. Viola, no exif data.

    One of the most misunderstood aspects of Islam and the Taliban in particular is there are no real leaders. It is their holly Koran that guides them.

    'Scuse me while I drag my soapbox up here for a minute.


    There is a serious mistake that the American public makes- repeatedly. That is when they look at someone from a totally different culture, and then oh so wisely yells you "Yeah, butcha know, down deep- they are just like us."

    NO THEY ARE NOT. The differences began at about age 2, and have become greater each year. You do NOT have a shared culture with those people- and to think you do is a deadly error. Every aspect of life, every value, every response to a stimulus is going to be different. Loyalties are NOT the same. How they view members of their own family is NOT the same.

    Have had multiple years of dealing with troops of other nations (retired Army) In Vietnam we had some troops messing with a small green snake one day- they were floored when I killed it. "It's just a little old grass snake." No, it is a bamboo viper. You probably would not live long enough to get you on a dustoff.

    The military can teach military skills. It cannot counter the culture that others have been imbued with all of their lives- and thinking that you have gets people killed.

    Sorry- will go put the soapbox away.
