In December 2009, when President Obama announced his massive escalation of the war in Afghanistan, most agreed it came with a 12 month timetable to show meaningful progress, and throughout early 2010 the year was described as a “make-or-break” year.
12 months of record death tolls and record violence later, 2010 was nothing if not a “break” year, and now the administration is cheerfully spinning the calamity as “progress.” So now, 2011 is the make-or-break year.
Which, according to NATO General Joseph Blotz, is going to be another year of disappointment. Not having convinced anybody of the claims of “progress” yet, officials are already predicting even worse violence.
Pointing to the myth of the “make-or-break” year, which seems to be more about distracting the public from a history of failures and focused on some fictional date just over the horizon. Nearly 10 years into the occupation, officials have not only formalized that the war is going to continue beyond 2014, but have mocked the suggestion that the American public’s opposition to the war could ever actually end it. It seems then that no matter how bad 2011 gets, when the year comes to an end officials will be setting up 2012 as the new make-or-break year.
America lives for war! It's got several on the go now with more coming on-line!
America is a world leader! It is leading the world towards extinction.
America is exceptional!. Its record in killing civilians is truly exceptional as is its greed and duplicity.
Who needs America? No one!

Come On – All American's need to WRITE – PHONE – EMAIL their representatives in Congress and The Senate with their opposition to the WARS.
Show them that the American Public counts.
Threaten to throw them out of Office.
See how quickly the tide will turn if they think that they will be turfed off the GRAVY TRAIN.
It's classic "Catch 22". Once the milestone is about to be reached the milestone changes.
ObomberBush has been visited by the ECONOMIC HITMEN described in his book about his own experience as an ECONOMIC HITMAN. In fact the USG is and has for at least 65 years been the Jackels, the Assasins, for those leaders of countries who won't take the bribes offered by Perkins and his colleagues which are in the $100's of millions. The Jackels are sent in to assassinate those who refused the bribes. Allende, Trujillo just o name a few. The role of the USG has been assigned by the INTERNATIONALIST CORPORATOCRACY WEALTHY PREDATORY CAPITALIST WELFARE KINGS, who rule the planet, is being the enforcement arm of the WELFARE KINGS to secure and protect the world's resources for the INTERNATIONAL CORPORATISTS by using the 'forced contributions', taxes, to fund their Pentagon/spy agencies with the proceeds of the Treasury bonds for the national debt, which is declared a threat to national security by Admiral Mullen. The 'foced contributions' of the U.S. taxpayers are funding a threat to national security to protect US from threat to national security. This nonsense makes sense to the USG which is the only sense the USG has, nonsense, without which it would have no sense at all.The purpose of the Pentagon is to protect the worldwide assets of the INTERNATIONAL CORPORATISTS.
Addendum;John Perkins book about his experience as an economic hitman
