Obama: Set To Lose Afghanistan As Well

Post by _bcspace »

He almost lost Egypt by supporting the wrong people (Muslim Brotherhood). He lost Libya and Syria the same way. Iraq is going. And now this...

MAHMUD RAQI, Afghanistan — Taliban fighters are scoring early gains in several strategic areas near the capital this summer, inflicting heavy casualties and casting new doubt on the ability of Afghan forces to contain the insurgency as the United States moves to complete its withdrawal of combat troops, according to Afghan officials and local elders.

The Taliban have found success beyond their traditional strongholds in the rural south and are now dominating territory near crucial highways and cities that surround Kabul, the capital, in strategic provinces like Kapisa and Nangarhar.

Taliban Making Military Gains in Afghanistan


It is well known in logistics circles that it takes at least a decade to form just a small corps of mid-level officers dedicated to the idea of fighting for a nation as opposed to tribal loyalties. Without enough of those mid level officers, a regular army with the same ideal cannot be trained.

Translation: It takes a long time so if you want success in Afghanistan, you have to stay. This has been demonstrated already in Iraq. But as also has been demonstrated, Democrats must relive the mistakes of history over and over and there is no sign whatsoever that they learn from it. Chalk it up to a desire for the miserable outcomes of history so they can gain or retain power.
