I heard an interview with two military officers the other
day and both were saying that the Taliban is winning the fight in Afghanistan.
They talked about "securing" a town or an area and moving on only to find the
Taliban in control when they returned. They both said that no matter what you
hear, things are going badly in this undeclared war. It's interesting that the
Taliban used to be the good guys, and the US helped them fight the Russians, and
even met with them in Texas not all that long ago.
Who in their right mind believes that when the US finally
leaves, whether that is in two years or twenty years..or tomorrow, that this
third world country is going to be in any better shape than it is right now. The
whole world knows that the government is corrupt, and the dream of a real
democracy is nothing more than just that...a dream.
Just what do the families who bring their loved ones home
from that God-forsaken country in a flag draped casket believe that they
sacrificed their precious blood for? What have so many young Americans lost
their eyes or their arms and legs for? Is this worth continuing? Other than
those "generals on the ground" who love the "mission" and the battle, why would
anyone, including the President think it's necessary to continue a campaign that
stands no chance of becoming a "victory"?
The city of New York wants to hold a parade to honor the
veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, but the Pentagon wants to wait until the
troops come home from Afghanistan in a year or so. I have a solution....bring
them all home now....while they can all still walk.
MORE SISTER ALBERTA ON THURSDAY!
