Afghan War

WASHINGTON – Progress in the Afghanistan war is occurring gradually, despite rising U.S. casualties, Army Gen. David Petraeus says in comments aimed at shoring up support among an increasingly skeptical American public. Associate Press

After nine years of the war racket that helps promote careers of the military nation's members, the promoters of war are saying we must have Patience! Patience? Patience after nine years of unnecessary war. These are the same words the war lovers used a few months after the U.S. invasion and martial law of another small country occurred. These are the same words the war lovers will use in another nine years, or a hundred years. They will still preach fear, saying there are terrorists, (people who hate us for killing their families) that must be dealt with to keep America free. Keep America free? They say this as they pass thousands and thousands of pages of rules and laws that make you less free.

Arguing for patience, Petraeus said that it was only in the last few weeks that the war plan had been fine-tuned and given the resources that it required. "For the first time," he said, "we will have what we have been working to put in place for the last year and a half." AP

After nine years of fighting General Petraeus said the war plan has been fine-tuned. The next general in charge will say something similar, and the general after him will say the same encouraging words, like con men, to keep the suckers back home funding the most socialist of government programs, the military. If the military did its primary function of defending the country most of the military personnel and military industrial civilians would not be needed. The military personnel would have to get a job that produces something, instead of killing people. Many of these military personnel would be on welfare or unemployment in the economy of 2010.
