Fall of strategic province could be 'death blow' to Afghan government

WASHINGTON – A U.S. general has quietly returned to Washington to brief the White House about a Taliban surge threatening the survival of the U.S.-backed government in Afghanistan as a result of the withdrawal of U.S. troops, especially from strategic Helmand province, a U.S. military intelligence source in Afghanistan told Joseph Farah’s G2Bulletin.

Army Gen. John F. Campbell rushed back to Washington this week without publicity to warn the White House that the Taliban is on the verge of taking over the entire Helmand province, the source said.

“I guess somebody’s getting frustrated that we’re over here just spinning our wheels,” the military intelligence source said. “The Taliban planned with our withdrawal to take Helmand, and if they did, it was to be the death blow of the GIROA,” the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.

0bama doesn’t care unless the problem serves his pandering to minorities, especially “people of color”, Mohammedans, and homosexuals.

Might as well talk to The White House. Obama sure as hell doesn't give a damn.

On the other hand, with the $$ and blood we put into propping up the Afghan Government seem futile. Especially if it will, like Iraq, collapse within a year after we leave. Maybe we should just quarantine it and bomb the crap out of ‘em if they get out of line.

Nuke ‘em from space, just to be sure.

There has been an absence of intelligent life in the White House since January 20, 2009 when Obama told his first official lie when he swore to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution.

GEN Campbell is assuming that the White House is on his side. I believe that the White House is on the Taliban’s side.
