‘Coincidence’:
Admiral Fallon resigned on the one year anniversary of the release of BBC’s Allan Johnstone, from Hamas surrogates as their hostage (if I recall correctly).
Did Admiral Fallon feel himself hostage, to [ego-infallable] politicians Middle East policies, and resign to set himself free?
For More on Admiral Fallon, see:

After all the bombs have been dropped, and all the bullets have been fired.
What will be left is just people. People whose lives have been torn to pieces, by loss and death, and horors perpetrated on them, in the name of ideologies, that they can read about in political pamphlets fluttering in the blood stained dirt…
Those words can never replace the loss of their loved ones, or their homes.
But in all of this, no one has ever addressed, the most important of all issues, does the West have any answer to fundamentalist Islam?
Until we do, we can never hope to win, no matter how many people we kill.
In the west we’ve replaced out Gods with materialism, maybe that’s why we can’t understand the power of a mans soul. Against which bombs and bullets are of no consequence.
It is as if death has been turned against us, we have much to live for, they have much to die for.
This is why ulitmately why we will lose. For we see death as a tragic end to consumption, they see it as the entrance to paradise.

Obama needs to have one of his betters give him a history of “European” imperialism in Afghanistan. The Brits know this first hand; they lost 12 - 16,000 dead in retreat at the Gandamak pass, in January of 1842. The Russians, with more than 120,000 troops also lost; in many respects (soldiers killed, politic, and prestige). Yeah, yeah, we handed out Stingers, so what? We have 30,000 troops there now plus NATO and all our glorious technology and we’re still losing. Technology? It’s not enough. Now factor in our killing at least 70 civilians (mostly children) on Friday, plus possibly 10 French troops in a “friendly” (oxymoron?) fire incident and on and on and on...it’s a flipping disaster by all measure made by intelligent humans. We need to get off of our democracy proselytizing addiction and get real. Who cares what form of governance Afghanistan’s people practice, as long as they keep it in their country and don’t export their violent form of philosophy/religion. This selling of our ideological crap to the world is, well, crap. If Obama believes his own bullshit regarding Afghanistan; then it’s just more of the same. Personally, I don’t think we will survive this intact. We’ve forgotten how to apply intelligence to everyday life. Well, that’s my two cents worth.

That “Afghanistan” will break your heart. We ought to ask the Soviets. Golly, does anyone even remember the Soviets? They got their hats handed back to them by Afghans and well, that pretty much did things in for the Soviets. Hmmm, sort of like how Georgians got their hats handed back to them by Russians. The U.S./NATO blunder will be eerily similar to the Soviet blunder in Afghanistan and eventually, the U.S./NATO axis of insanity will get their hats handed back to them by Afghans and criminy, the song remains brutally the same. Hamid Karzai, the U.S. puppet and Chevron flunky, will get his hat handed back to him and quite possibly Karzai’s head will still be in the hat. Seems kind of sad for old Hamid but, it’s Afghanistan and criminy, Afghanistan can be horrifically brutal. The ‘brutality’ motif brings up Iraq and if the diplomatic shuffle being played out in Baghdad doesn’t quite work out as Dr. Condo planned, well, won’t it just be back to the old drawing board for an “understanding” that somehow ‘MUST’ work or U.N. mandates will expire and won’t the Bush/Cheney/Rice charade have failed by then. Iraq AND Afghanistan are already in “failure” and nobody seems sane enough to admit the obvious. Amerika has grown so “accepting” of political failure, that failure is merely dressed up all fancy and ‘on the town’ sort of trendy and ‘we the people’ eat that crap up like Iranian caviar. Which by the by, won’t Iranian caviar become inordinately cost prohibitive really darn soon.

When the Soviets were in Afghanistan, Reagan handed out stingers to the Mujahadeen via Pakistan. Now that we’ve rekindled the Cold War, I wonder what surprises Putin might have in store for the “Coalition” probably via Pakistan or maybe even Pakistan’s ally, China. So much for the “peace dividend”.

The Pustans, by far the largest group in Afghanistan, amounting to 40% of the population, extend acrsss the South past an arbitrary and ignored border into Pakistan. There is no way to win that war without the US fighting in Pakistan, a nuclear power on the border of China. The Pustan Taliban are being supported by elements of the Pak military and ISI intelligence agency.
In short, there is no way the US can win that war. But Obama doesn’t want to lose it on his watch. Instead of opposing the neocon poliices of Bush, he is SUPPORTING them, now by enlisting Biden. Both the Dem and Gop neocons are supporting war aborad and a police state in the US.
It is necessary to opppose the neocons in BOTH parties. This can be best done, in my opinion, by supporting McKinney to help mobilize the population against the Zionism and gangsterism that is driving the US population into the ground.
