In the wake of the recent Senate Intelligence Committee report on CIA detention programs, perhaps it is time to also re-visit what happened on Day One of the War in Afghanistan:
The carpet-bombing of Kandahar. Pretty much, the first day of the war featured a massive raid by 60 B-52s and 60 B-1s, dropping dumb bombs, cluster bombs, and napalm.
So, what would have happened had Kandahar not been carpet-bombed? Would Saddam Hussein still have decided to fold when questions about his WMD programs came up in 2002? Would Qaddafi still have decided to comply when he was told to halt his WMD programs?
