Dude, it's milk factories and hospitals, get it right!

And I still see how the complete destruction of a modern, mostly secular nation is going to solve anything.

I'd also like to remind the thread that Salty's question was rhetorical... no discussion of how or if the war can be ended was intended.

Hahahaha...we should discuss it, come up with the best option...and then send it in to the pentagon. I'm sure we're better at planning a war than they are hahahaha. (as sarcastic as is possible)

Fixed it for ya.


Don't play stupid, Kevin... You know that bombing sensitive targets is the first step in any war. Take out communication towers, ammunition supplies, strongholds etc.

The only targets being bombed now are hard targets during fire missions and newly acquired targets from newly acquired intelligence (insurgents in a building or cave).

Enlighten us on what you don't understand.

Are you talking about Iraq or Afghanistan? Assuming you're talking about Iraq, you're wrong. The rebels that we're fighting there aren't using the primary infrastructure of Iraq. Cell phones maybe, that's about it. So how does reducing Iraq's industrial capacity to nothing solve anything for us, other than landing Halliburton a ****load more reconstruction contracts? I'm talking about right now, present day, not the Shock and Awe campaign.

Furthermore, I was responding to the comments that we should turn Iraq into a parking lot using nukes, not conventional warfighting.

And why does it have to be about us entirely? Why can't it be about Iraq, it's citizens and the tons of oil in that country that make your car go? Why can’t we have these interests when these interests are the very reason for war?

How is there no industrial capacity?
