It's like everything else that comes out of the mouths of these people-pure unadulterated bull shit they know is a lie but say it anyway!
The commander of NATO forces in Afghanistan said he hopes increased troop levels will weaken the Taliban enough that its leaders will accept a peace deal.
It's lip service only! How many hundreds perhaps thousands of these statements have we read or heard over the years. How many did we get. Mostly not a fucking one and we sure as hell ain't going to get this. It takes our mind off other things and these people know many on our side cling to hope of any kind. They laugh at that in the back rooms.
No we won't get this or much else either even though you are led to believe there's a chance we will get something .
IT'S THE SHITS BUT YOU WON'T - GET USED TO IT FINALLY!
All an insurgency has to do is survive. Sooner or later we will leave, the only question is when and how much blood and money will we lose in the process.
ReplyDeleteI quit believing in generals in the '60s and their " truthiness " hasn't improved any since then.
ReplyDeleteIt's the old snowball rolling down a very steep hill thing, it always crashes at the bottom, and when it does, we get: "If only we had more troops on the ground, we could win this thing."
ReplyDeleteDoes this deja vu ever stop.
In order for there to be an insurgency. There first has to be an occupation. If we left yesterday, then there would be no occupation, and no insurgency. Taliban control 80% of Afghanistan. So the question must be asked. Who are the insurgents? Them or US.
ReplyDeleteYou guys keep talking like that there might be trouble.

Any new president has to replace his predecessors generals as soon as possible. At that level the military is too politicized to be worth a damn anyway. Obama should get his own 3 star stooges in the Pentagon and be man enough to make his own mistakes.
