Words fail me.....God help the Afghanis, especially the females, in the wrong provinces.
This makes me sick, but what else would one expect from these frauds.
The Russians were. They might have eventually killed all the Afghans, but they never came even close to defeating them. Maybe this is why:
kabed et-avikha v'et-imekha lema'an ya'arikhun yameikha al ha'adama asher-Adonai eloheikha noten lakh:
Or, in English:
Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
Tribal cultures have a deep loyalty to each other and their land. They have established lines of communications, deep knowledge of terrain and the capabilities of their brethren, long practiced preparation for war, an understood chain of command...
In short, you may kill a tribal culture, but they're very hard to defeat. All the Afghans needed to defeat the Russians were relatively unsophisticated modern weapons.
Nodding...
It was at least two hours long!
That’s more then 100 mins longer with the General in denmark right after the Obama olympic bid.
On your terms. Put another way, the purpose is to get the enemy to bend to your will, rather than the other way around. Stopping fighting is only part of that.
islam will (attempt to) dominate the world - and I believe 0 is a willing accomplice to this end.
Remember, he can recite the islamic something-rather in perfect Arabic, and he believes the muslim call to prayer is the sweetest sound on Earth at sunrise.
Will Hillary use this to resign & run against BHO?
Then JFK would take her place - could it even get worse ?
He never did. With his father, or the man he says is his father, a British subject when he, Junior, was born, he isn't eligible.
He could not longer hurt a fellow muslim as the sweetest sound to his ears was the muslim call to prayers......
I can’t take much more. My tear ducts are dry.
We did not desert the Kurds, we protected them under the norther "no fly zone". They were doing pretty well. We deserted the Marsh Arabs, Shiites mostly, who Saddam pounded the stuffing out of, including draining their marshes. That came about because Swartzkopf allowed the Iraqis to fly helicopters, ostensibly because we'd knocked out all the bridges accross the Tigres and Euphrates rivers in that part of the country. But they were used to attack Saddam's enemies instead, and Bush Sr did not authorize enforcement of the no fly zones against helicopters.
And didn’t he also say something about standing with the muslims when the going to rough? Well here it is, and he’s standing with them as promised (the only campaign promise he’s kept?)
Obama is not trustworthy to lead men in war. Given that, I would rather see them come home NOW than see Obama kill a lot more of them and then surrender.
Elections have consequences and we are going to pay for having elected this skull full of mush traitor while we are under attack by Muslims.
It may be difficult to define "winning" if Afghanistan but I believe that the ramifications of not "winning" will become painfully obvious very quickly.
Kristinn, I’ve really appreciated all the articles you’ve been writing and posting of late. I’ve been spreading them around to our network of folks every time I spot one. Very solid work you’re doing. Thank you!
Of course with the Pakistanis under the buss, the Al Qaeda will get their nukes.
Then the real fun will begin.
Unfortunately, I am beginning to agree.
His ROE are getting us killed. His lack of a National Security Policy is hindering our missions all over.
Is there a link for all the above or did you write this?
crap!
If this is true, I hope McCrystal resigns.
ZerO sighed, Afghans died.
