"Despise them, hate them for what they represent." "Always respect the enemy. If you underestimate him, he’ll kill you. If you overestimate him, you’ll just make a bigger mess of him."

That's a good quote. Definitely true in the given situation.

Not really a quote from a famous person, but from some published paper online.

But yes it is quite true. For example in WW2, we underestimated the capabilities of the Japanese and then look what they did at Pearl Harbor. Or in the middle east, where we thought those guys could do nothing with the little to none technology that they have, yet they were able to kill 3000 people and we're still in the same war for like 9 years.

Or in Vietnam, when we underestimated the power of the Vietcong and Ho Chi Minh. What a horrible mistake we made there.

Do you think the U.S will pursue the old base again and kill the Taliban on it, or just let it go? It's sad how tax money was used for those supplies on the base, and now the Taliban are using it against us.

Obama isn't going to do crap.  He's  Bill Clinton Jr.
