Anyone who backed McChyrstal’s original assessment is going to get their butts burned big time.
bam and McChrystal have put their heads together to lose, pull out, blame Bush for Vietnamizing Afhanistan, and make obama look like a bloody genius.
McChrystal never went there to win a war. He went there to make it as unpopular as he could and he did it by sacrificing American Troops, by making almost impossible for them to fight or even defend themselves.
His call for more Troops was as phoney as his pronouncement that the taliban is not a threat to US...even as they attack in the heart of Pakistan, backed by Iran, and are closing in on their nukes.
This will be a political win for obama. And the Conservatives who trusted McChrystal will be chewed to bits.
Smoke and mirrors Baby!
Thank you for the info and ping... It’s really hard to keep up with everything! I can’t remember so many bad things happening all at once..
May the unanswered calls of these Marines haunt their dreams until they repent of these egregious sins.
“We are pinned down. We are running low on ammo. We have no air. We’ve lost today,”
~~ Marine Maj. Kevin Williams, 37, said through his translator to his Afghan counterpart, responding to the latter’s repeated demands for helicopters.
