"demonstrated that the Northern Alliance was actually capable of successfully carrying out an offensive with American help" But you said the bombing emboldened the Taliban and made them braver. Since we have helped the Taliban iyo, how could we have helped them? "A toe-to-toe battle in the Taliban strongholds of the south with no sympathy from the Pushtuns or anyone else in the region [in fact, these are probably more likely to side with the Taliban] is not likely to go so smoothly" Pessimistic view imo. What was your view of the difficulty they would have taking the north? Did you have pessimistic views on that, or did you know it would be so easy? "In other words, the Northern Alliance will never accomplish what we want to accomplish in Afghanistan. The only thing that will accomplish that is American ground troops. Lots of them, likely 100,000 or more" You are completely full of crap here. Same crap the news has been saying up until now, and it is bothersome. Sounds like you want us to lose. Wish there was a way to bet on this so I could take some of your money instead of just having to read your pessimistic views on our mission and our chances of success.
