I am beginning to wonder if all these scandals w/in the Obama admin. concerning Generals could possibly be a take down of Generals like this one whom wish to continue U.S. genocide and imperialism. Perhaps, and this is a big perhaps, Obama may start to be a reformer that has long been needed in his second term. So much is on the line now and it is way too soon to tell but certain things he is and is not doing seem to be somewhat positive to me. The main thing is distancing himself from Israel and not going to war with Iran yet. ONLY TIME WILL TELL, but let us all keep our fingers crossed. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 27855699  Australia11/16/2012 09:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is my take on it all, The middle east fighting back big time and in a big way. Israel is ready for war. If America withdraws from Afghanistan, then things will go right off the scale. You will have a war spreading through Pakistan and India and that's something you don't want given current conditions. In other words, they're proper fucked. Debt and depression in the economy, A military that is war weary, People back home are sick of war, The middle east is going to lose their shit for real, Israel wants war, .......moral of the story is, dont get involved in other countries conflicts because you will get fucked up and you will lose your own country in the process. I hope you Americans understand just how you fucked up in that part of the region in particular. And if you think things couldnt get any worse, think about this: Anything from the middle east to the economy collapsing to social unrest will set off a series of triggers and you only have a certain amount of time to prepare individually and more importantly you have some time to come to your senses. The clock is still ticking but for how long? |

I abhore war,but when you're facing a lunatic the only other thing is to let them kill you and hope for a better next life “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” – Carl Sagan |

Nothing has changed in Afghan. since the Reagan era. There is no foundation for peace in a country that is morally bankrupt. We should just pull out and let India whoop on Pakistan for awhile. |

They will just send another commander to relieve him of duty if they have to. Refusing to obey an unconstitutional order is one thing. That is a part of his oath of service. Refusing to leave a foreign country we should have left nearly a decade ago violates his oath because an order to leave a foreign field would not violate the constitution. "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 |
