Is It Too Late for the Jalalabad Intellectual Airdrop?

By Robert Stacy McCain on 9.1.09 @ 12:24PM

George Freaking Will argues that the United States should abandon a war that has had bipartisan support from Day One. Which reminded me of a strategic plan for victory in Afghanistan that I first conceived last fall:

"The Air Force should load George Will and David Brooks into a C-130 and airdrop them, sans parachute, on a Taliban position in Afghanistan. They're useless as intellectuals, but perhaps they'll do some good as ordnance."

This is a modest proposal, don't you think? Let's just hope it's not too little, too late.

A better idea would be to pullout the military. Then airdrop a crack force of Beverly Hills psychologists, environmental activists, human rights workers, minority studies professors and every homeless person the government can round up. In short, If the military can not do the job , send in the Leftist Marching Morons. That will teach the Taliban to mess with USA.

I like Dixie's proposal.

Let's see the self-anointed-elite know-it-all lefties show us that their policies can really make a country happy and prosperous by doing it in Afghanistan!
