I’m all for the Predators program and lots of dead Taliban and other assorted fuzzy wuzzies. But, let’s not use it as a distraction from what Obama & Co. are doing to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Iraq draw down, but leaving 3,000 of our troops there is a mirror of the Saigon Embassy roof helicopter bug out with the bad addition of leaving some of our troops as shark bait. Afghanistan is a reversal of the prior successful surge by a force draw down and a pull back from the provinces won by blood to Kabul. The next step will be the Saigon Embassy redux. This all because some polls of some folks who are still wondering if Dr. Oz is as fun to watch as Oprah was.
In short, this is no way to run wars, use our volunteer military or how a superpower should conduct foreign policy. Time to talk truth, not wait for D.C. beltway types to jockey for power and better offices.
If US want to win the war in Afghanistan then we needs to fight it like a real war with some MAJOR firepower. Not with random sneaky drone attacks into Pakistan. US need to drop the kid gloves with Pakistan and use some devastating firepower to wipe out the Taliban nests. If we cant do that then we need to stop wasting time, money and lives and get the hell out of Afghanistan.
