US General Stanley McChrystal -- the top US and NATO commander in Afghanistan -- has warned President Barack Obama in a confidential report that the war against the Taliban could be lost within a year without more troops.

This fact risks "a longer conflict, greater casualties, higher overall costs, and ultimately, a critical loss of political support. Any of these risks, in turn, are likely to result in mission failure," he wrote. What exactly is the "mission" anyway, chief?

“.... leaked to the Washington Post....)
During a time of war, these leakers should be hunted down and killed on the spot.
Those that receive and then irresponsibly publish the leaks, should meet the same fate.

Perhaps I'm traumatized by my experience in Vietnam but I'm concerned that the war is unwinnable. Not because of any lack of courage or dedication by our superb military but because that county is not really a country but an accumulation of tribes and medieval warlords who are, at least for the present, beyond redemption.
We need to get our minds around the fact that there is a strong justification for assigning collective responsibility for any tribe(s) in Afghanistan that supports al Queda.
We can't bomb them into the stone age but we may just have to obliterate whole tribes to wipe out those who support our enemies.

This is BS! The war is winnable, we have to up our nasty factor. Be thorough and keep it quiet. No MSM what so ever. A little harsh, but after awhile there is a breaking point at the Mr. Nice guy level.

So what exactly is our objective? How will we know when we have won? What specifically are we doing to achieve victory?
If Obama can't answer those questions, its time to leave...
