"What a military genius he must be"
This current struggle has nothing to do with military genius. It isn't maneuvering, flanking or any other skills of the conventional commander, rather it is Unconventional Warfare that wins the struggle.
7 months of success after 8 years of idiotic strategy. 8 years of fighting insurgents like they were a conventional force.

That is exactly where you are wrong.
McChrystal is not "most military leaders". McChrystal has adopted an unconventional method to combat the insurgency.
The dudes before McChrystal were a bunch of conventional commanders who wanted to fight this thing like we were fighting the Iraqi army.
Tanks and planes won't win hearts and minds. McChrystal realizes that.

Rumsfeld, Cheney and Bush oversaw the invasion of AFG which was one of the best invasions in military history.
Then, their focus was turned to the fuck up, otherwise known as the war in Iraq.
McChrystal has been the only commander with a real head on his shoulders.

yep

There are many loosely affiliated group known as "Talban" or "Students". My point was that the Madrassas on the Af/Pac border were set up with US funding funneled through Pakistan. For instance Chinese small arms were imported to be not traced to the US.
Its hard to speak of the "Taliban", when there are dozens of splinter, tribal and regional groups with overlapping but not identical goals.

Osama succeeded in provoking the US to attack and occupy Muslim countries, he specifically noted that long term occupations will be too costly in lives and money to continue indefinitely.
Instead of attempting a risky and difficult attack on the West, why not just attack the US forces in your neighborhood? Its so much safer to plant an IED and blow up a Humvee from afar...
The US has walked right into the trap of Al-Qaeda, has acted so disproportionately and it has been so counterproductive!!!

They're not lying it is going Very Well. They're protecting the drug trade.

250,000 blackwater and other private military contractors, all running around in their personal armor with their personal AK47's.
How can Obama just pull the plug on these wars and allow that mess to ooze out on the rest of the world? Those mercenaries are going to become bricklayers and high school teachers overnight?
If Obama is taking too long to end the wars, it's because he has a sieve with which to bail out the sinking ship.
