FMBI Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) Link Oops.. I could've sworn that as long as the liberals didn't sabotage the war, we could easily defeat terrorist groups worldwide using our strong and proud armed forces. Edited August 6, 2008 by Finland My BorgInvasion
Aileron Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 I disagree somewhat. The report was written by professors, very book smart individuals who tend to be so smart, they become stupid. While they are right in that the war will be won or lost on the intelligence end, its a lot easier to gather intelligence over territory we control. Its also a lot easier to work with foreign powers if they are not hostile to us. I mean, take a before and after shot of Afghanistan. Before Al Queda had free reign of the country, if we wanted intelligence we needed to sneak a spy in, and if we asked for cooperation for local law enforcement we'd have gotten nothing. Now, our agents are the ones free to move around, Al Queda agents are the ones who need to sneak, and we can get law enforcement's cooperation much of the time. What the military provided was a change in environment which makes it much easier for intelligence to do their job.

AstroProdigy Posted August 7, 2008 Report Posted August 7, 2008 (edited) who tend to be so smart, they become stupidIntelligence doesn't wrap around.It does in bizarro world. The sad thing is this is the way conservatives actually think. They haven't even accepted the notion that learning makes you smarter so reasoning with them is literally impossible.
