We will be hearing more about the Dadullah Front in the future, for better and worse. Netwar in its element: "within the Taleban ‘network of networks.'" Perfectly described.

A horrific attack that has already spawned promises of a disproportionate response from the Obama administration. America has brought war to Yemen but, like Afghanistan, believes that it is totally in the right.

The U.S. and AQAP have tragically locked Yemen in a vicious cycle of violence with no end on the horizon.

Not only is Afghanistan on stage.
NATO has to justify its own importance and future in the world.
NATO was set up to defend Europe.
Now it has mushroomed into a global crusader for the elite.
Why should it be funded by countries that have their own people living on the streets.

LOL
No, but if I were it would be for her resignation and retirement speech.

Do not be surprised if during their spin they come up with a new kinder, friendlier Taliban.
One that will be incorporated into the government to fight the harsher, violent, Islamic Taliban and their A/Q brethren.
The best writers in Hollywood would not be able to come up with this exit script.

Yes, that's it in a nutshell. Been writing speeches for Shillary recently, RZ?

Night raids?
Murder by occupation.
Blood money?
Accountable???????????????

Laws?

The table is being set for their failure in Afghanistan.
The script will go something like this.
- - - We did our best, we died for their country, we trained their troops, we gave our blood and treasure. When it was up to the Afghans to go it alone they failed. It is now no longer our burden - - - . We will now be moving on. - - - But we would like to keep a few military ground and air bases in a partitioned part of your country. - - - -

2012-05-19T14:51:40.869-07:00

Get the knife.
Afghanistan will be partitioned.
Will this be their form of saving face, and having peace with honor?
Will there be a Kabul Afghanistan and a Kandahar Afghanistan.

Money might pay for their exit, but it will not buy a clear conscience.

2012-05-19T13:50:07.328-07:00

The idea of ending Afgjanistan's war on a specific date or year, as Obama has declared of 2014, has less to do with an evolution in politics/military than arrogance. However long this war goes, it will be longer than the White House tells the Afghan, NATO and American publics.

This is a fake news.

2012-05-17T04:37:13.446-07:00

2012-05-16T14:22:52.653-07:00

One ear was not enough for Westmoreland.
So he told his boyz to bring back both ears in order to up the body count.
End result - - same result.

2012-05-16T14:17:36.567-07:00

Precisely so. General Westmoreland died maintaining that Vietnam was a victory.

2012-05-16T12:42:41.822-07:00

They will need to figure out how to exit, while at the same time being able to declare victory. [Think Nam.]
When the exit sign over the door starts flashing there will be a major rush to that exit door.
No one will want to be last, as in left behind.
The blame game script is being written as we type.

2012-05-16T06:51:38.684-07:00

No drone, no massacre. Or maybe a lesser one. Neither Turkey nor the US will be losing any sleep over it. Neither apparently will you.

Lets not blame the drone please

2012-05-15T08:51:11.736-07:00

OK !
Why is this even news?
Are we suppose to feel sorry for the spy/killer?
He was convicted, this then no longer makes him "alleged". :-)
We executed the Rosenberg's?
Were they "alleged"?

2012-05-14T14:05:42.809-07:00

ISAF cannot afford to prematurely lose any of NATO's 4 non-US powers. The Taliban would move north the minute after an acceleration to Germany's withdrawal. However NATO's military pressure remains strong and a high-profile event is necessary to induce a domino effect.

2012-05-13T03:31:01.796-07:00

Of course the war-chest funds would never be spent on social projects but it puts the waste in some kind of perspective all the same. The UK MOD is even more inefficient and wasteful than its US equivalent. It gives the 'austerity' speeches about trimming the public sector their true value.

Nonsense. Spending this kind of money on social pr...

2012-05-12T16:16:42.427-07:00

Nonsense.
Spending this kind of money on social programs in order to better humanity is waaaay to complicated.
It would take a little bit of thought, and planning.
It is soooooo much easier to invade a country, give it some shock and awe, occupy that country as new colonists. And at the same time make millions and Billions of dollars for the uber elite.

War is a racket, always has been always will be.
Take the profit out of war, and you have taken the incentive to wage war out of the equation.

2012-05-12T14:34:51.860-07:00

How easily an adaptation in tactics and strategy becomes a reversal. NATO wishes that the Taliban would do what they can't and shouldn't: try to retake territory from numerically/technologically superior forces.

2012-05-12T07:07:04.753-07:00

Does it matter any more.
No one is held accountable.
They write a check, and then that is that.
Once the human race has turned into the the drone race.
Then all of society is under attack.

Life is meaningless.
"We had to destroy the country in order to save it".
