Hello… Islam wants to defeat Democracies, ours, just as they have done where ever they get a ‘boot hold’.
Time to leave …. early …. now. Obama can’t lead. McCrystal can’t follow the useful idiots of the enemy.
Remember, Obama supported the idiot rebel in Honduras; Obama is pro-Hamas and anti-Israel. Obama supports Turkey, a traitor to NATO. And Hillary is there; and Carter is there, ready to bow to those who wish us dead or in every way submissive … bowing only a first step.
A quote from the Rolling Stone article and I appreciate his appreciation of those of MIT: “The Boss would find the 24-year-old kid with a nose ring, with some fucking brilliant degree from MIT, sitting in the corner with 16 computer monitors humming,” says a Special Forces commando who worked with McChrystal in Iraq and now serves on his staff in Kabul. “He’d say, ‘Hey – you fucking muscleheads couldn’t find lunch without help. You got to work together with these guys.’ ”
Another quote to show you; this is like Vietnam; we’re not there to win: “I get COIN. I get all that. McChrystal comes here, explains it, it makes sense. But then he goes away on his bird, and by the time his directives get passed down to us through Big Army, they’re all fucked up – either because somebody is trying to cover their ass, or because they just don’t understand it themselves. But we’re fucking losing this thing.”
And finally, as we see that USSR, killing 1 million Afghans, and COIN was a strategy of Vietnam, and usually a losing strategy, So far, counterinsurgency has succeeded only in creating a never-ending demand for the primary product supplied by the military: perpetual war.
