More Endless War

Beyond comprehension:

BAGRAM, Afghanistan — Military commanders with the NATO mission in Afghanistan told President Barack Obama's chief envoy to the region this weekend that they did not have enough troops to do their job.

The possibility that more troops will be needed in Afghanistan presents the Obama administration with a new problem in dealing with a nearly 8-year-old war that has lost popularity at home, compounded by new questions over the credibility of the U.S.-backed Afghan government....

NATO mission in Afghanistan? What drivel. What's over there are thousands of American troops... And a few dozen behind-the-lines barracks sweepers from the rest of NATO.

Who are they fighting? Native Afghanistans trying to rid their country of another invader, that's who.

Are they fighting Al-qaeda? No, that organization has been effectively obliterated, other than a few hold-outs hiding away in caves and rat holes, hiding amongst the Afghanistans and Pakistani.

Are they after Bin Laden? No, best intel says he's not even in Afghanistan, perhaps not even Pakistan. So why are we still there?

And just what is "their Job" over there? Wasn't it to root out Al Qaeda and get Osama Bin Laden?

I'll tell you what's happening. Now that the Iraq debacle is finally winding down to it's ultimate conclusion eerily similar to Viet Nam(fight, die and pull out), the Pentagon is ramping up their back-burner conflict that's been held in reserve for the last eight years so they can continue war as usual - any war, any place - so long as it's war.

Our generals used to have honor, or at least we used to believe they did. But this batch today are beyond disgusting, they are green-bile vomit sickening.

Notice that in the article I pointed to above, these self-serving medal-seeking career wardogs don't even mention Osama Bin Laden or Al Qaeda anymore. They now talk of the native Afghanistan Taliban as being the enemy, an enemy we created by invading their territory under the guise of finding Bin Laden.

If you want to listen to those generals, prepare yourself for thousands of more Americans killed, billions more dollars down the toilet, and even more disgust towards America by the rest of the world, as we destroy yet another nation we no longer have any business being in.

Get. Out. We need to just get out. Whatever purpose or excuse we once had to invade Afghanistan no longer exists.
