THE BLIND LEADING THE DUMB!
Tubularsock was just sitting around his top floor corner office of the underground bunker overlooking Washington, D.C. from Oakland, CA (see BUNKER TOUR) having his typical breakfast of scrambled eggs and magical shrooms with a single shot of Wild Turkey Single Barrel, neat.
And right off the teletype came an AP story all the way from Washington, D.C. You know the Associated Press (AP), correct? The Press that knows who has won the Presidential primary BEFORE the vote is taken! They are really smart over at AP to know shit before it happens so Tubularsock dropped everything except the shrooms and Turkey and proceeded to find out the latest.
Now you may not have known this but the White House has been debating “for months” if they should EXPAND THE U.S. MILITARY’S AUTHORITY TO CONDUCT AIRSTRIKES AGAINST THE TALIBAN in Afghanistan. (A tiny note: This has nothing to do with Obomber’s drone murder activities in the region.)
Well guess what, “There is a broad desire across the Obama administration to give the military greater ability to help the Afghans fight and win the war.”(AP)
This does not mean that the 9,800 U.S. troops in Afghanistan will be involved in direct combat. ( A tiny note: CIA mercenary contractors have never stopped fighting!)
What this means is that U.S. airstrikes against the Taliban when necessary have been approved by Obomber.
Now all this is as it is and the most important question seems to never be ask by the maimed-street-press, the military, or the political establishment, so hell, Tubularsock will ask the question!
The United States has spent HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS to train the Afghan Military. BabyBush trained and equipped them. Obomber trained and equipped them.
Yet, the Afghan Taliban win the battles and are just much more resilient than the Afghan Military.
WHY IS THAT?
Now remember the U.S. started the war with Afghanistan in 2001 and now we are half way into 2016 and the U.S. is still at war with Afghanistan.
“The Taliban have tried to take advantage of the inexperience of the Afghan security forces, who until recently were incapable of going on the offensive, according to U.S. military officials.” (AP)
FIFTEEN YEARS OF TRAINING AND SUPPORTING and this is the outcome. And the White House has given permission to escalate this total failure?
Stop and think about this. The Taliban are Afghans, The Afghan Military are Afghans, so it appears to Tubularsock that one group of Afghans have a will to win and the other group of Afghans DON’T!
WHY IS THAT?
THAT IS THE FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION!
And sending in more bombs or drones or the U.S. military will not change ANYTHING except create more resolve with the Afghan’s who want to win, The Taliban. THAT IS THE REALITY.
The United States Military were losers in Vietnam and now in Afghanistan!
