Sorry palehorse, your lip service is inadequate because it is not your first or even second priority... blah blah.
God damn it... I've
always called for the "prongs" or "fronts" to be undertaken
simultaneously, you lying fuck. ( Palehorse, if you even bothered to read what I said, I noted that you had advocated economic development as a multi pronged strategy, sadly that is Washington's fault and not your own, but I also noted you always seem to bring that up as a third priority, and other more rational people understand, that it must be job one. )
Your entire last post mirrors the hundreds of others wherein you somehow pretend that I'm saying something entirely different, you lie, and you completely misrepresent any opposing arguments. It's like you've got a huge cock stuck in each ear which prevent you from hearing what others are saying. You consistently point out that my strategy --
which, to this day, has never even been attempted -- has somehow failed for seven years. How is that possible!? How the hell would my ideas be to blame for any continued failure when those ideas have never even been implemented!? ( Again you distort the truth, while its true that you have been bellyaching for permission to go into the tribal areas of Pakistan, which is a decision that must be made many pay grades above yours, the failed tried strategy I am referring to is to think you can kill your self out of the Taliban/Al-Quida problem in Afghanistan, which Nato has been trying with negative success for seven years now. And if you can't do it with 72,000 troops in Afghanistan, how are you going to do it in a much larger area? As I have been pointing out, if we can drive a wedge between the Taliban and Al-Quida, getting rid of Al-Quida in the region might be doable, but you balk at that. )
In reality, all of the top Generals, and even Barrack Obama, agree with my proposed strategy. They know, and agree, that the basis of the problem, and the solution, lie in the hills of Northwest Pakistan. ( What Petraeus and Obama know or will do remains to be seen. But that is a political and not a military decision that is not without consequences. Please note the following link.

In short palehorse, if Nato and the US does not watch their ass and stay the hell out of sovereign nation, they may be stripped of any legitimacy by loss of the IN mandates. Right now GWB may be running around like a chicken with his head cut off, sending all kinds of mixed messages, but the problems and responsibility will fall on our next President. You consider only the upsides of military action in the tribal areas of Pakistan, and ignore all the many faceted downsides. )
You don't know a fucking thing about the issue LL. Not one. You are totally and completely clueless. And, because of that, you have resorted to lying and misrepresenting my position on the issue. That's just fucking sad...
