"US general says war in Afghanistan difficult, but 'winnable'; Tells Congress key is limiting civilian deaths" by Robert Burns, Associated Press | June 3, 2009
WASHINGTON - The general whom President Obama picked to turn around the worsening war in Afghanistan told Congress yesterday that winning will require spending more US resources and killing fewer Afghan civilians.
Haven't we spent enough over lies the last eight years?
And you wanna stop killing civilians?
STOP BOMBING and LEAVE THOSE INNOCENT PEOPLE ALONE!!!!
Army Lieutenant General Stanley McChrystal warned that failure would probably mean all-out civil war and a firmer foothold for Al Qaeda terrorists.
You scared yet, 'murkn?

McChrystal said that with a proper counterinsurgency campaign, including a more prominent role for civilian specialists, Afghanistan can be stabilized and its Taliban opposition marginalized. Progress must be shown within 18 to 24 months to sustain public support for the war, the general said.
You've HAD EIGHT YEARS!!
And WE AIN'T WINNING NUTHIN': Taliban Presence 72 Percent Of Afghanistan
"I believe it is winnable, but I don't think it will be easily winnable," he told the Senate Armed Services Committee in a hearing that suggested he is likely to win confirmation by the full Senate amid lingering questions about his role in the handling of the 2004 accidental shooting death of Army Ranger Pat Tillman in Afghanistan.
Then LET'S LEAVE!!!
And he's IN ON the TILLMAN COVER-UP, too, huh?
If confirmed he also would receive a fourth star, capping a rapid rise through the officer ranks.
McChrystal would replace General David McKiernan, who was fired May 11 in an unusual wartime shake-up. McKiernan has said that the conflict is "stalemated, at best" in southern Afghanistan, where the Taliban is strongest and where thousands of additional American troops are headed this summer.

Tired of the MSM lies yet?
The three-hour hearing highlighted the severity and diversity of problems facing Afghanistan: a resilient insurgency, a lack of effective Afghan governance, official corruption, rampant illicit drug trade, unwillingness by some NATO allies to do more fighting, and a spreading Taliban insurgency inside Pakistan.
I don't even know where to begin there.
It's our puppet government, WE are ARMING the TALIBAN, the drug trade is run by the CIA to gain black profits for black ops (and prop up ), and the insurgency is simply indigenous people resisting occupation and empire.
"Although I expect stiff fighting ahead, the measure of effectiveness will not be enemy killed. It will be the number of Afghans shielded from violence," he said. The most important way to accomplish that, he said, is to further develop the Afghan national army and police, which he said probably will have to grow in numbers beyond current projections.
--more--"
And HOW MUCH will THAT COST?
And I DON'T MEAN MONEY!
What is a Dead Afghan Baby Worth?
Farah Fallout
Notice how the MSM coverage on Obama's War has almost disappeared since the slaughter of the women and children?
It's all the NEXT WAR, be it Korea, Pakistan, or Iran!
