Hillary Clinton has allocated a half-billion dollars for bribing the Pakistanis, and planning to do the same for the Taliban to switch sides – of course anyone who has any experience in Afghanistan knows that it’s only rent money because you can’t buy an Afghan’s loyalty. <\/p>\n
But our buddy, communist hero founder of ANSWER’s March Forward veteran group of mannequins Mike Prysner<\/a> sees it as evidence that the US is losing in Afghanistan (Russia Today<\/a> link);<\/p>\n \u201cThis can be seen as a move of desperation on behalf of the United States,\u201d said Prysner.<\/p>\n The Taliban is winning, he argued. There is no need for the Taliban to negotiate with the US because they are winning the war and an offer to pay off the enemy is merely an admission the US cannot win militarily.<\/p>\n Regarding Vice President Joe Biden\u2019s remarks, which essentially said a drawdown to the war in 2011 could be very small, Prysner said the US was losing and they would not willingly withdraw in any manner that would resemble a defeat.<\/p>\n \u201cWe can expect to see in another year more US casualties, more Afghan casualties and while the leaders in Washington and generals in the Pentagon still finding justifications to continue to fight there,\u201d said Prysner.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n So says the E-4 radar operator who served in Iraq.<\/p>\n Our own Jake Diliberto chimes in;<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s all crazy talk,\u201d said Diliberto. \u201cNobody has any clue how we are going to bring peace or stability to this whole thing if we don\u2019t negotiate with the Taliban.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I guess Russia Times was just fishing for commentary they had already typed into the story why else would they talk to these two on statecraft. I’m no Hillary supporter (except in the Democrat primaries in 2012), but after the ass-kicking the Left took during the Iraq surge, I’d think there’s no one on the Left willing tomake wild-ass statements about the future of a military operation.<\/p>\n Thanks to Ranger Off-Spring (ROS) for the link. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
