>If we really wanted to -- and that was my real question -- we could line up 50,000 troops shoulder to shoulder and march them along those mountains between Pakistan and Afghanistan, capturing or killing every terrorist, insurgent, bystander, and goat in their path.

I really, really don't think even that would do it. Not to be condescending here but you should read up on the topography - and military history - of that region. It's a nightmare to fight in.
