We have a general sense of law and order and while there are a few drug plots here and there, you won't find many 10,000 acre poppy fields. You're right to be impressed by the military effort in Afghanistan, though, but we had a few things going for us: 1.) Top notch spy satellites that cataloged every surface target and it's damage ahead of the troops. 2.) A moronic Taliban that did virtually nothing to prepare as they never thought we'd invade. 3.) Large support from many, if not most, of the local warlords secured via the Green Beret. 4.) HUMINT, also secured by the Green Beret and other special Ops forces. 5.) Local population support, again, due to a moronic Taliban. 6.) Regional support, and, really, global support. Staging areas, etc. 7.) A ready made alternative government mostly pre-supported. 8.) A motivated set of troops 9.) High tech equipment capable of 24/7, especially night, fighting. 10.) A buttload of ammo. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:171468 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
