Geezus.. I guess you expect intelligence analysts to be all-knowing... I've said on more than one occasion that our intelligence abilities couldn't predict Hamas winning an election. I don't have a lot of confidence in our intelligence capabilities particularly HUMINT which is nothing more than gossip. I've had discussions with some intel analysts that get all giggly because they've come up with some nomenclature of some equipment that goes into a rack. They have no idea what the purpose of that equipment is and don't care what the equipment does. They have that nomenclature and they are just tickled pink. nd I'll ask you the same thing about the Afghan people who were suffering under the Taliban..... yada yada. I get it. You have the same moral values as the Taliban. I believe it. I think you believe we should conduct war like we conduct internal police operations, where only the guilty parties are arrested and tried.. (or shot).. And that's just too delusional a belief to warrant any further discussion.. Since you're filling in my half of the discussion and making up my positions, why don't you just post to yourself? Now go rip someone's fingernails out. You'll feel better. jttmab
