But Europeans are realizing that-- as in everything else they do-- Americans talk big and kill big but can't-- body count myths notwithstanding-- eliminate the "towel heads" armed with Koran& Kalashnikov. They keep coming to avenge the many we indiscriminately killed. Meanwhile, the US is scraping the bottom of the barrel, its jails and illegal aliens, to fill its SecOps ranks.<br /><br />http://www.topfeedsnews.com/2011/01/07/taliban-strength-unaffected-by-allied-surge/<br /><br />To beat us, McChryatal bragged: “[Taliban] need to be able to coerce the population, to tax the population, to recruit from the population, and to prevent the government from extending its governance into those areas…” Well, it has because, while Petraeus fights his self-aggrandizement counterinsurgency, the Taliban fight a war for a clear brand of revolutionary Sharia justice. Petraeus, on the other hand, is imposing on Afghans what he told Obama is a “criminal syndicate” of a government, not justice. So, as in Vietnam, the little people are holding out, whatever the cost, against our learn-nothing bull-neck and bull-head generals, enraged at how EVIL is the self-declared GOOD. Chatham House presents the best moral case for why we will never win for we are not for justice but for crime.<br /><br />http://www.chathamhouse.org.uk/files/18074_1210pr_afghanjustice.pdf<br /><br />Our morally corrupt president of change is nothing but a Lilliputian King who fears the petty giant, Petraeus, leading his troops. Despite a decade of killing, the report notes, the Taliban is still with the people because it is of the people and seeks to bring them justice, not senseless death. Per the report:<br /><br />The Taliban have exploited the justice deficit on the part of the current administration and its foreign backers to the full – a clear indicator of the strategic importance of the issue in their eyes. In doing so they have played on the deep desire of Afghans for security and rule of law, as well as nostalgia in some quarters for the ‘harsh, but just’ period of Taliban rule – a nostalgia which exists despite that regime’s many abuses.<br /><br />de teodoruAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21976234.post-75747949074901880512010-07-05T17:19:52.275-05:002010-07-05T17:19:52.275-05:00Mike checked the spam filters and didn't see y...Mike checked the spam filters and didn't see you there, then he mentioned with his version of Wordpress if you "bounce" before your comment publishes it doesn't take. I'd had it happen to me before on the site but didn't follow up on it. So likely just a Wordpress thing.

After I submitted it wasn't added to the thread, and I did not see anything about comment moderation being enabled. It was a post about a dog trainer you used to work with.<br /><br />After it did not seem to go though I submitted another comment, which was simply "test". It wasn't displayed either.<br /><br />I also commented on a post by Truth about farting in Walmart (also on Mad Mike's America), and that one did go though.<br /><br />I'll have to go back and see if my comment on your post is there now, but I don't think so.<br /><br />Any idea what happened?Dervish Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13671865801885224353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21976234.post-45169617946309507932010-07-04T16:29:26.141-05:002010-07-04T16:29:26.141-05:00W-dervish,

I'd prefer to go with the former!Osohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513535195785731541noreply@blogger.com
