I was reading this article and found it very interesting. Espically this quote from the Commander of Special Operations in Tora Bora:


"The president is going to inherit the problem the Soviets had roughly 15 years ago during the Soviet jihad. You cannot tame the people in the North-West Frontier Province and on the border in Pakistan and Afghanistan," said Dalton Fury, the commander of special operations at Tora Bora.

"The only army that has been successful has been Genghis Khan and his Mongol horde. They cut off heads and killed everyone in the villages, and since we have self-imposed rules of warfare, we are not going to do what they did."


Makes me wonder what we are going to have to do in order to catch this guy....

Do what the Mongols couldn't and educate the population out of supporting him. Protip: It's cheaper than blowing them up in the long run.
