good news indeed. Should make for an interesting winter.
I fear one of the worst for our troops - who have been and are undermanned that border region in Afghanistan.
The United States has long pushed the government to carry out an assault in South Waziristan....> Now that the Paki's have finally stepped up to the plate on their side, WE are leaving our side wide open for the miscreants (what the Paki's call the al-queda and the Tiliban (very apropos - look it up) to jump across, out of the reach of the Paki's - and NOT being met in a pincher movement by OUR forces...instead, OUR troops are left defend without the equiptment or troops to stop them - and under the new ROE - they can only half fight back, even to defend themselves when under fire...and now, the wunder-CIC in DC wants to make a deal to turn these regions that our troops have fought and sacrificed so dearly for - BACK to the Talilban and invite THEM into the governing of Afghanistan!
Has he made a deal with Pakistan? Will HE, effectively, let the Taliban take over Afghanistan again in exchange with a deal with Pakistan and who else?
WE may never know what's going on behind the curtain - but ONE thing that can't hide, even with their sycophant MSM - since 'bambi fired Gen. McKiernan and put in McCrystal - with tied hands and insufficient troops and equipment - more troops are dying each month than since the first year of the war.
Were Bush still CIC, we'd have a 24/7 outrage coverage.
Meanwhile, right when we could catch the Taliban and al-queda from both sides and defeat them - our CIC and cohorts in DC fiddle...week after week.
