Stunning Statistics About our War in Afghanistan

Contractors now comprise 69% of the Department of Defense total "workforce" in the war our country is waging in Afghanistan. At present, there are 104,000 Department of Defense "contractors" actively fighting there, earning huge salaries, of which our soldiers can only dream!
In a hearing of Senator Claire McCaskill's Contract Oversight subcommittee, it was determined that this is the highest ratio of contractors to military personnel in US history!
From June 2009 to September of this year, there was a 40% increase in "Defense Department contractors" in Afghanistan.
Your TAX DOLLARS at work.

Malalai Joya: A Woman Among the Warlords.

It takes a woman to enlighten us about our "Afghanistan Strategy". Our tragic involvement in that miserable country is part of a much larger geopolitical strategy, which entails our country's decision to establish a beachhead in Central Asia to monitor the growth of China, surround Russia, control vital resources from the Caspian Basin, and provide security for US mega-corporations, who see Asia as the "market of the future". Our potential "victory" in Afghanistan means that a handful of weapons manufacturers, oil magnates, and military contractors will become filthy-rich by sacrificing the "worthless" lives of our soldiers, sailors, and marines.
She sums up her important work by documenting the incontrovertible fact that the multi-billion dollar profits which will soon be reaped by our giant corporations through the unnecessary sacrifices of the men and women serving selflessly in our Armed Forces. She admonishes us that the people of Afghanistan are fed up with the corruption of the Mafia-state of Hamid Karzai and the warlords and drug lords backed by NATO, and furthermore, that the real motive of the US and her allies was to convert her country into a military base in Central Asia, and the capital of the world's opium drug trade.

War Correspondent: "Liberals Are Useless"

Chris Hedges, whose credentials include solid credentials as a war correspondent in every conceivable trouble spot in our tortured world is now as sick as I have been for a long time about the bleating of our many sheep who continue to enjoy being led to the slaughter for the benefit and perverse entertainment of our many so-called "statesmen" on this planet.

What a Taliban Triumph and US Defeat Would Mean for America

Patrick J. Buchanon, one of the increasingly few conservative supporters of President Obama has enlightened us with his well-considered verdict about our president's proposed "surge" in Afghanistan: America is deepening her involvement in a war in its ninth year, with no end in sight. As a former advisory team leader in Vietnam, who had the honor of dodging quite a few "enemy" bullets and mortar rounds, I was glued to my television when "our" president made his startling announcement after he had promised those who had the foolishness to vote for him, that he would be somehow different, than the others, who have betrayed our great country.

It seems there are only lies, damned lies, and the worthless promises of politicians, and the voters who are foolishly trust these conniving politicians do not care one bit about our great country, or the welfare of our foolish and trusting citizenry, who actually believe the outrageous lies of our thieving politicians.

In all history, there is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare

"Only one who knows the disastrous effects of a long war can realize the supreme importance of rapidity in bringing it to a close." (Sun Tzu)

"In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him for then it costs nothing to be a patriot." (Mark Twain)

Sun Tzu, who lived from 500 to 320 BC, wrote his sophisticated treatise on philosophy, logistics, espionage, strategy and tactics known as The Art of War. Those of our world's senior military men who have been successful in their dismal profession know this to be true.

Those who have ignored this ancient wisdom are called losers by the rest of our world.
President Obama: Please listen to this advice from these masters of ancient wisdom, and resolve to bring our war in Afghanistan to a speedy conclusion, before our great nation becomes totally bankrupt!

Obama identified as just another lying politician!!

In the year 2007, the now President Obama promised: (as now seen on UTube) "If you elect me as your president, my first task will be to take our troops out of Afghanistan." Check it out on today's Jeff Rense web site. Hurry, because they will probably take it off the web in order not to embarrass our new president, who now has evolved very much like our previous war criminal, when it has become so fashionable again.

As I recall, Adolf Hitler made similar promises, when he felt the need to appeal to the German voters!

ARE WE TRULY AS STUPID AS THESE PIGS???
