[PuppetGov] “We really ask a lot of our young service people out on checkpoints because there’s danger, they’re asked to make very rapid decisions in often very unclear situations. However, to my knowledge, in the nine-plus months I’ve been here, not a single case where we have engaged in an escalation of force incident and hurt someone has it turned out that the vehicle had a suicide bomb or weapons in it and, in many cases, had families in it.”

[Corrente blogs] Congressman, Vote No on Afghan War Escalation | Corrente: We have at least 68,000 troops and 121,000 contractors or mercenaries now in place, and violence, deaths, and misery escalated following the troop escalation. In fact the president said that he sent those troops prior to developing a strategy for the war, almost as if sending the troops was an end in itself, a possibility that is almost too grotesque to contemplate, a possibility I would hate to have to explain to the parents of all the soldiers who will die in the hell that will be the coming attack on the city of Kandahar.

[Balloon Juice] Balloon Juice » Blog Archive » The United States of AIPAC: The parties arrived at Camp David, and Barak (who is one of the worst negotiators in Israel’s history) played all manner of power games, thinking that he could force Arafat’s hand, announcing that whatever he was presenting was an absolutely inviolable red-line—and then when the Palestinians said something like “but we can’t possibly…! You knew we couldn’t possibly before you even brought it up…!”, he would suddenly move his red-line and say “no, no, I meant

[FORA.tv - Program Feed] FORA.tv - David Finkel: The Good Soldiers: Finkel is a Zionist and fully supports the abuse of Iraq and Gaza and promotes the death of impressionable young Americans by encouraging them to defend their country what he really means is his country which is Israel. Finkel helps turn them into murderers by glorifying their unforgivable video game like approach to killing.
[FrumForum] Wikileaks Shows True Nature of War | FrumForum: The New York Times points out that psychological necessity may force the gung-ho attitude displayed by the helicopter crews, and I can only lamely add that soldiers are people, too. We can legislate laws of war and refine rules of engagement, but war will always be a grisly business. Im not a peacenik, and I supported the Iraq invasion on the merits, but its folly to send troops to do the toughest job and then be shocked by the attitude that some show while doing it.

But now its been years and years and years and were still sending troops and money there and we havent found Osama bin Laden yet and you have other things to worry about, like your job and your health insurance and your mortgage and sending your kids to college and maybe someday retiring if you could ever save enough money.

[Rethink Afghanistan War Blog] The Wikileaks video is normal, and that's the problem - Rethink ...: According to the New York Times, General McChrystal “has sought to emphasize to troops how escalation of force incidents undermine Afghan support for the war.” You can emphasize that point all that you want, but that isnt going to stop a scared 19-year-old who thinks his life is in danger from making a split-second decision to fire into a bus full of innocent civilians. This is war, plain and simple.

[Antiwar.com Blog] Ron Paul: Why Escalate into Pakistan? « Antiwar.com Blog: As an educated and knowldgable person that you are,I am in agreement with most of your points.I am only reminding you of the hypocracy and double standards that is the halmark of the US media.I doubt that very many people in the US know about the points I mentioned above.But boy ask them about the people In Iraq,Afghnistan,Iran,or the Palesnians and they are such experperts.They would count to you in so many ways how awful and evil those people are.It serves the agenda of the US government and media to keep consantly harpring on the issue of the Taliban treatment of women,or the opium,or what have you in order to keep the support for the war up.Many Americans support the war in Afghnistan simply and solely based on the issue of women.The women of Afghnistan are being used in very senster way.
