And, we’ve been doing such a lousy job in the Afghan AO, that various leaders of the AlQ have been yammering on about needing to pick a safer place to push for the new Caliphate, like western China.
The only jihadiscum that like the idea of fighting American forces are those preemies still sitting in their mosques listening to their degenerate perv of a preacher telling them how glorious it will be.
American casualties "sky rocketed" (msm term)immediately after "commander zero's" new ROE went into effect. Just a coincidence of course. He just doesn't want them "air raiding villages, killing women and children
I have not heard of a significant decrease in the terrorist casualty rate.
Seems to be the "vietnamization" of "afghanistan" with the US to pull out and leave all that sided with us to be slaughtered.
You thought that vietnam was a bloodbath when the democrats orchestrated the betrayal of our allies? Compared to what is coming to afghanistan, that will look like a Christmas party.
Probably so. But the Viet Cong were demoralized and on the run after the failure of their Tet Offensive, too. But none of that filtered into the plastic bubble world that the MSM lived and still lives in. That’s the irony of constantly referring to “another Vietnam”. They just well might create it.
In G-dforsaken shyteholes like Afghanistan, you really can’t expect a gleaming, pluralistic republic. You have to fight to keep them from becoming terrorist havens that metastasize, spreading death and destruction all over the world. If they don’t revert back to that, you’ve won. That’s worth expending blood and treasure over. But we’ve got the wrong man for the job in charge. Dubya infuriated me over immigration, his monetary policy was just plain awful, and he folded like an umbrella when it hit the fan in the credit crisis, but one thing he did and did well, and that was stand by the troops in the field. For that alone, he’ll go down in history as one of the greats, and he’ll deserve it.
