Dempsey’s keen eye for the obvious

by Jonn Lilyea••7

The Associated Press reports that nothing that’s too obvious gets by the Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, General Martin Dempsey;

America’s top military officer said Wednesday that the impasse over a security agreement between the U.S. and Afghanistan is encouraging the enemy to take bold actions and could lead some Afghan forces to cooperate with the Taliban to “hedge their bets.”

Dempsey told The Associated Press in an interview that President Barack Obama’s order Tuesday to begin actively planning for a total withdrawal was making Afghan military leaders anxious and eating away at their troops’ confidence.

Of course, AP and Dempsey really blame Hamid Karzai, who is partially to blame, but it’s not his job defend US foreign policy. It’s those incompetent boobs who are projecting our political power, all appointed by this administration, who are screwing this up, like they screwed up our withdrawal from Iraq. But, then, of course, their job, for this president, is write his bumper sticker slogans for the mid-term elections not to actually accomplish something that could be called a success.

    NOOOOOOO! REALLY?? WHO KNEW!! (/sarc off)

  5. The US quit fighting to win wars at the end of 1945. We’ve been more concerned with tedious and trivial bullshit since then. Next time, we should fight like we used to…kill them all. The “innocents”–the ones that harbor, abet, and support the actual bad guys–would quickly change their minds about their alliances. This shit that we’ve been doing is ahistorical and ignorant. Kill them all until they give up…it saves lives in the long run.

  7. I’m willing to bet those SEAL buddies he claims to have on the heated discussion video that lasted like 1:26… i’m willing to bet those are not real SEALs probably impostors as well.
