In other words, it's not. Disgusting.

Not exactly.

After all of the blathering and blah blah blah by our conventional elitist military leaders, they recently decided the governance and reconstruction has to be supported by local paramilitary type organizations lead and advised by Special Forces ODAs who live with them as part of the tribe 24/7.

Obama gave the military a time line through 2010. For this Special Forces mission to succeed will take decades. There is a huge time discrepancy here.

I've written before, one reason wars end is war fatigue. So who keeps announcing they are getting tired and ready to leave?

Why is it that after nearly 10 years of door kicking and UAV drama and no gains that it cannot be pointed out we still don't get it?
