Afghanistan Unwinnable?

Is Afghanistan "unwinnalbe"?  You might think that is a strange question, when a person as far left as Barack "World" Obama has said we must win in Afghanistan.

 

However, remember what his blog has (correctly) told you.  True leftists have never really supported the war in Afghanistan.  They have just pretended to do so (sometimes, when then are not trashing the U.S. military effort there, as when Obama said we are merely "air raiding villages and killing civilians").  They have pretended solely to "gig" Bush on failing to get bin Landen, and to suggest that the Iraq War is a distraction from the "real" war in Afghanistan.  Now that Afghanistan is becoming the main war, with the most U.S. casualties, the left is preparing to turn against this war.  Never doubt this blog.  I am almost never wrong. This will certainly be true if McCain happens to be elected President.  There may be a lag if Obama is elected, but the left will still come down against this war in the not too distant future.  As exhibit "A", see this Reuters/AOL story from today:

 

"Britain's commander in Afghanistan has said the war against the Taliban cannot be won, the Sunday Times reported."

 

Did the British commander really say that the Afghan war is "unwinnable"?  Not exactly.  That is the leftist "spin" showing I am right about the leftists agenda here.

 

In a way, the commander said almost the opposite.  He said that the Taliban had been pretty much stopped for 2008.  However, he said that there was no way to completely knock out the insurgency, and that the goal is to reach a "low level" of insurgency that is tolerable, and no real threat.  Is not that "winning?".  Well, that is a matter of semantics, isn't it, and the way the leftist media has chosen to play it shows exactly where they are coming from.

 

You have to get to the middle of the story to find the positive stuff (about the Taliban being essentially defeated for 2008, and the rest).  The headline is the misleading "unwinnable".  Further, before you get to much positive stuff you get a paragraph about "talking to the Taliban" as being the "best" solution.

 

You can see it all coming, as if it were in neon lights.  The propaganda is beginning about how we can never "win" militarily in Afghanistan, but need a "negotiated" settlement. 

 

Isn't it possible that the Afgan government could unermine the insurgency by some types of "negotiation" with the Taliban?  Sure it is.  But that is only if everyone ignores the leftist idea of "negotiations", which is to empower your enemy.

 

I am right here.  The left is preparing to turn against the war in Afghanistan, which really reflects where they have ben all along (where Obama was before Iraq).  Be prepared.
