    How to beat the Taliban in Afghanistan / Pakistan (and win the war on terror)

    No. Never. Never. I am a scientist. I also have some experience of military strategy games, such as "Company of Heroes". I used to play chess but computer games are more fun and realistic. So I have a thoughtful, analytical and strategic mind and I'd like to help. If our military was...

    How to beat the Taliban in Afghanistan / Pakistan (and win the war on terror)

    What's even more horrible to see has been the many avoidable deaths of our troops killed by mines, road-side bombs, improvised explosive devices and ambushes while routinely and recklessly supplying along unsecured roads in Iraq and Afghanistan. What has been fascinating about this unnecessary...

    How to beat the Taliban in Afghanistan / Pakistan (and win the war on terror)

    I didn't and wouldn't use the word "Comprehensive". I say bomb only the enemy. Don't bomb anyone else. Yes the US did try bombing the enemy in Vietnam but there is more to my 4-point plan than a bombing campaign. This is why I insist that my 4-point plan be considered as a whole and no one...

    How to beat the Taliban in Afghanistan / Pakistan (and win the war on terror)

    What I said is that we are the friends of the people of Pakistan and I intend that we prove that. This is a delicate matter so I will quote myself more clearly than is usual. So that could be tactical nukes against Pakistani military bases as a military option on NATO's table, (NATO acting...

    How to beat the Taliban in Afghanistan / Pakistan (and win the war on terror)

    England is like Scotland where I stay and perhaps even like Canada where the most significant person is the head of state, the Queen and the other significant people have significance because of their loyal relationship to the crown and to the kingdom. I am a republican so I don't present my...

    How to beat the Taliban in Afghanistan / Pakistan (and win the war on terror)

    Thank you. I would liken our political will in Afghanistan to the fighting will of a bull in a bull-fighting contest. The bull initially lacks no fighting will to charge at the matedor's cape but the cape is not the bull's real enemy but the bull lacks the strategic vision to understand the...

    Then let NATO-ISAF supply fully 100 percent of its cargo by air by increasing by 5-fold the airport infrastructure and capacity of Afghanistan, building perhaps one or two more big hub airports around the country or a few more long runways and additional cargo handling facilities at existing...

    How to beat the Taliban in Afghanistan / Pakistan (and win the war on terror)

    Supplying along a land route (road and/or railway) through friendly territory is easy enough. Supplying through a war-zone, or bandit country requires a military approach, something like this.

    2. Bomb the enemy in Pakistan More on point 2 of the plan. Air strikes, bombing raids, missiles, drone attacks on enemy bases in Pakistan. Bomb Taliban Jihadi indoctrination bases in Pakistan. I am suggesting that our forces bomb the Taliban Headquarters known as "the University of Jihad" or...
