The Associated Press <\/a> reports that nothing that’s too obvious gets by the Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, General Martin Dempsey;<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
