Lets see his own appointed General whats his name has been asking now for what? 8 months? And the Terrorist have scared the bejesus out of the local people killing whole families or raping the daughters and killing the sons of any family suspected of cooperating with the Americans or the Afghanistan government during the Bush era. Obama and the Taliban have in just a few months almost entirely cleaned the gene pool of anyone brave enough to attempt to stand up against the Taliban. Nothing left but genetically engineered cowards. I wish the troops all the luck in the world they certainly need it.
Yep, he made the shit storm as bad as it could possibly be and then decides to send troops in to a shit storm. It's only going to get worse. He isnt making it where we can 'win' anything. He doesnt want to win. He just wants to point the finger at Bush and say 'it's all that crackers fault'.
And now he tells the Taliban: "Don't despair just hang low and wait it out till my term is almost over then their will be a withdraw. You can just remind the citizens of Afghanistan not to be caught cooperating with the people who do not torture them and their relatives." "Cause the days are numbered before Taliban rule again in 2012. Then the people who do torture, rape, murder, and generally disregard Geneva convention rules will extract a heavy vengeance."
