"Progress in
Afghanistan War"
Leon Panetta is lying to us
Link CIA Director Leon Panetta said Sunday that the war in Afghanistan had "serious problems", but the U.S.-led mission was making progress.
"It’s harder, it's slower than I think anyone anticipated," Panetta told Judas Maximus at ABC's "This Whore".
He cited governance problems, drug trafficking
and the Taliban insurgency - all in a tribal society - as the major challenges
to the goal of "making sure al Qaeda never finds another safe haven from which
to attack this country."
"Winning in Afghanistan is having a country that
is stable enough to ensure that there is no safe haven for al Qaeda
or for a militant Taliban that welcomes al Qaeda," Panetta said.
What the hell was Obama thinking when he decided to make a horrible situation
worse?
There should be a law that, when we're at war, the president must hold a two
hour, live, televised
press conference every month to answer questions about how
we're "winning" this war that can't be won.
How is this any different from the crap we were told by Bush., Cheney and Rumsfeld?
