Check out this column by Charles Krauthammer in today's Washington Post:

He hits the nail on the head in describing how the State Department's preoccupation over our coalition partners' "feelings" is ham-stringing the military's ability to do what they need to do.

Charles Krauthammer of the Washington Post
"...you don't defeat the Taliban with antiseptic attacks on fixed installations and pinpoint raids on front-line positions. You do it by scaring the living hell out of the enemy, producing in him the rational calculation that you're going to win and he'd better change sides."
