    No, Bin weighted down is the two lifeless or residing in a deep fall down an particularly heat place. the completed Iraq Bush conflict grow to be a disaster. Bush did no longer pay attention to any of his advisers or the CIA. the country knew the place those terrorists have been hiding and that that they had the technologies to take them out. besides the undeniable fact that, Bush attacked the incorrect united states and the Taliban went underground. interior the Bush years the Taliban actually grew in numbers. rather of convalescing protection right here at homestead Bush opened the Mexican border so as that anybody ought to illegally enter the US. the three billion money a month the Iraq conflict is costing could have offered various protection advancements and created extra jobs. Obama promised to end this conflict and create jobs if he fails he won't get reelected yet neither will any republican.

    Life today is very different from life in the pioneer age, and I shall explain key differences :) Please note that I refer to people as 'white men' and 'Indians' not out of ignorance, but because its shorter to type.

    Pioneers: The Indians were disorganized, spoke different languages, and did not work together to resist the white men; the white men worked together to eradicate the Indians. White men spread diseases that wiped out Indians, since Indians had no natural defenses. The Indians also (sadly) were suppressed over several centuries, so it has been a long decline.

    Afghanistan: The insurgents all work together and speak the same language. They do not fear bio-warfare since that is banned world-over. The Americans have only had less than a decade to fight them.

    In short, the Americans are fighting a much more organized and tough enemy than the Indians were to generations of white men, and they have not had the time to take them all down. I'm sure that if today's military were dropped back in time, they'd have the Indians dead in a week.

    So its hard to compare the two, because they are two different fighting forces in two very different times.

    Don't make a blanket statement about the best equipped and best trained military that the world has ever seen. Our military has not lost a battle where there were allowed to fight. Out military currently is handicapped by "Rules of Engagement" The same problem that they had in Viet Nam. A close friend of mine was a battery commander (artillery) in Viet Nam. A REMUF major come to his position and tried to get him court martialed because his people were carrying loaded weapons, befor they were actually attacked by the beligerants. Out military can win any conflict excep those with the polititions.

    Apples and oranges, the Indians would stand and fight, the cave dwellers are hard to shoot when they are hiding inside solid rock?

    It is kinda hard to BEAT someone if you don't know who and where they are.

    We could turn the whole of Afghanistan into a smoking hole in the ground if we wanted to. The problem is beating and enemy while following "rules of engagement".

    If we didn't have those pesky rules of war to get in the way, all the Raghead Wife Beaters would be having a gay orgy in hell right now.

    The Native Americans were godless heathens. The martyrs in Afghanistan have Allah on their side.
