Starting about this time in 2009, a number of officials began making grim predictions for the year to come, insisting 2010 would be a violent year in Afghanistan. These predictions invariably came with claims that the momentum was starting to shift in favor of NATO.
Fast forward 12 months and NATO is reeling after the deadliest year yet for the nearly decade long occupation and Admiral Michael Mullen is the first out of the gate with a prediction for a “very difficult” 2011.
Mullen’s prediction, given today on ABC’s “This Week,” came, as they often do, with the claim that “it has started to get better” in Afghanistan. The improvements, of course, don’t come with any decline in death toll among troops or civilians.
Mullen also insisted that the end of 2014 transition date was achieveable, though he stopped far short of defining exactly what would happen then. Pentagon officials have warned that the date is not set in stone.
Why? Why? Why? Why doesn't someone connect the dots? Why won't the media get right down to brass tacks and enunciate the cause and effect chains that has U.S. engaged in unwinnable wars all over the Middle East?
Answer: Because it all leads back to that horrible thieving murdering creature known as Zionism. And, that murdering thieving creature has substantial ownership influence and control over the mass media in the Western World.
I think we are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel…..
"Mullen Predicts ‘Very Difficult’ 2011 for Afghan War." You're right, Admiral Mullet. But don't be so disheartened, there will be plenty of money printed up by the Fed and plenty of recent high school graduates, who can't find a job, to fill the ranks and carry on the oligarchy's war for oil pipelines, rare earth minerals and the opium trade. So, cheer up Admiral. All is not lost. While it is true that the war has been going on for over nine years, if the oligarchy plays its cards right, I think we can keep it going for another nine years before America is completely bankrupted. You've done a great job for the establishment Admiral. Keep up the good work. Oh, and by the way, who needs Smedley Butler anyway. There's money to be made! Wow whee! This war stuff sure is fun!
