Taliban kill eight policemen in Afghan checkpoint attack
2011-08-14

Though my heart goes out to the killed policemen and their families, something else caught my attention.

"Obama's announcement [of the first phase of a promised draw-down] comes amid growing calls from an anxious Congress for an endgame in Afghanistan and appeals from the military not to tie its hands against a Taliban-led insurgency."

BTW, what is the end game? Asking a bunch of illiterate thugs to leave us alone or else? In that case, perhaps a B-2 demonstration team should show them what the "or else" looks like.
Mike, I assume the text above is your comment, since it doesn't come from the linked article. Our convention here at Rantburg is that personal comments are highlighted unless you are submitting an Op-Ed, in which case you put your name as the byline and submit the article under Opinion.
