Biden: 'Take the training wheels off'
The US is escalating its assault on the Taliban with a sharp rise in bombing and missile raids, more relaxed rules on the destruction of civilian property and the deployment of heavily armored M1 Abrams tanks to Afghanistan for the first time.US tanks head for Afghanistan
There is no way in hell we are going to defeat the Taliban who are indigenous and belong in Afghanistan. It is their country. There is also no way Karzai is going to be able to hold his so called Government together and stay in control of Afghanistan. It is critical that someone up there realize we have accomplished our goal and pull out before we join Afghanistan's graveyard of nations. Putting Abrams in at this time tells me we are going to get in deeper and not preparing to start pulling out in 2011, a pull out to be completed in 2014. Yeah right!
As I keep saying the battle lines are still just forming and this will go on for generations unless we capitulate! NATO Pakistan, India, Karzai, even Iran and indeed the entire world are needed! * If we are to have a victory Russia, India, Iran, indeed the entire so called civilized world is going to have to unite. This region throughout history has never been defeated militarily and will not be now unless we all realize the future we want will not be unless as a whole we realize how critical the situation is and that united we stand divided we fall, one at a time!
We better unite as a world and quick! We could add a million troops and it would only be matched by the Taliban and other insurgents. They can and will more than match us fighter to fighter and this is their home turf. I used to say if we could secure the Afghan Pakistan Border we could then concentrate on the Taliban and rebuilding Afghanistan. However, knowing the territory and seeing the map there is no way in hell that is going to happen. I thought the Mexican border was violent and it is but the Pakistan Afghanistan Border is the most violent in the world today.
I have been long convinced Bush guaranteed a loss in Afghanistan and everywhere else when he insisted on attacking Iraq so he could help Israel create a new middle east order. I am afraid this is just taking shape and both sides, the Taliban and our so called allies are still just forming the front lines and gathering forces, Both sides are still just beginning to build and This is still just beginning! Afghanistan has never been defeated but that is not even my biggest concern. We have for generations been angering Muslims and certainly in the last 9 years done everything possible to ensure an endless supply of martyrs wanting to give their life to kill infidels for Allah!
We are not smart enough to get the hell out of there so If we are to have a victory Russia, India, Iran, indeed the entire so called civilized world is going to have to unite. This region throughout history has never been defeated militarily and will not now unless we all realize the future we want will not be unless as a whole we realize how critical the situation is and that united we stand divided we fall, one at a time! Obama is being majorly tested!
* In closing, Rove and Cheney are concerned about continuing the lie we lived under them and Bush and rewriting their dire History and preserving Bush's legacy of destruction as a great thing. Bush the servant of God, purveyor of war torture and destruction, doing it all for God in the name of peace. Sick! I do not see the necessary rosy scenario happening that would lead to a successful outcome for us.
Rove, Cheney, Hannity, Limbaugh, Beck, Palin, and other right wing extremists have succeeded in undermining Obama's good intentions of restoring unity and world order. We somehow have to unite with Iran and the rest of the world to take on what is now a common enemy or get the hell out as we should right now the hell with 2014. I hate to say it but I think Iran is the one that should be in the forefront. At one time they offered their help well it is time to take it and unite the world as they are all on the Taliban's menu.

We may have lost the opportunity here. As we keep killing off the older Taliban newer more radical ones are taking their place. We keep training an Afghan army but where will their loyalties lie with a corrupt central government? All we're doing then is training the next combat soldiers we'll have to fight at some later date. How many times do we have to go through this scenario?
Get with the program Joiner. We're taking these here tanks down the gilded road of VICTORY!!
I hope not Demeur! We are killing them and so isn't the Taliban. They just killed a few older leaders that were cooperating with us. We have to get the hell out of there.
Tom I don't think tanks will do any better there than they did in Vietnam but I guess we'll find out.
Please Jim do not feel in any way that there is a need at all to respond to some smart ass comment left by me.
