take a long-term view, is to become petroleum independent. if we become petroleum independent we almost win that war immediately because their funding disappears. we have to begin to think that way rather than bombs and missiles. that is sort of archaic to be honest with you and as far as afghanistan is concerned, you know, with all those tribal factions that have been there for centuries, not adhering to any uniform policy, who are you going to negotiate with? how are you going to have a peace treaty? it doesn t work. it hasn t for anybody else and won t for us. there are other ways to take care of things. the way we took care of osama bin laden, i approve of that. i approve of using lots of techniques to accomplish our goals but they don t necessarily involve putting our troops in harm s way. dr. ben carson we hope to have you back again. you re only up the road in baltimore. thank you so much. dear youtube.
