Today, McChrystal is out the door, Petraeus will likely take over.

But who cares. *the side with the helicopters always loses*. WE're gonna get so beat down in Afghanistan, It'll be the last big US land war. We're not going to Yemen, Iran, Pakistan, Sudan, with big forces. After we fly out of Afg in disgrace, everything will be small, aerial, special forces. We'll give up on destroying AlQueda, instead only small strikes, and that does nothing to prevent dirty bombs blowing up new york

@377buddy: Nope; so far I am only a bored young women waiting that the time of peace and plenty will soon be over and that war and the state will return to depose economy from its much vile usurped seat and thus bring back the world to normal; though the bomb remains an most annoying factor; I muse what Athena was thinking when she did invented those fancy atomic weapons a couple of decades ago but I guess it was the same as with the flute in antiquity; and do not use abbreviations!

i guess you're a grizzled ol' soldier, huh?? a retired 5-star with a couple CMHs??

[GreatGrumbledook]

He does not sound like a tough grizzled old soldier but some kind of dandified Nancy boy, who is afraid of wars and he is indubitably no sea-dog but the sort of pasty landlubber I have always despised. I'll warrant, the most exciting thing that has happened to this limpid prawn in a whole year, was the day when he forgot to put sugar in his porridge!
