For the last time, Obama-Biden, DROP the idea of more troops in Afghanistan
A week ago, a top Pakistan Army spokesman said his country’s soldiers had a shoot-on-site order if U.S. troops crossed the border without advance warning.
Apparently, that also applied to troops helicoptering in, as Pakistani soldiers reportedly have opened fire.
It’s not clear whether this was across-the-bow warming fire or targeted shots.
What does seem more clear, though, is that Army troops were not alone; Pakistani tribesmen from the North West Frontier were shoulder to shoulder with armed forces.
And, that’s why I, along with people such as Juan Cole, say Obama’s an IDIOT for wanting to send more troops to Afghanistan.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
