FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

This is your most favourite Non-Nato ally Pakistan that has fought your war on terror since you invaded Afghanistan a decade ago. When you attacked Afghanistan, many had professed that you would last for about a decade if history were any witness. The Soviets before you had a similar experience in Afghanistan. For them, the famous quote by Alexander the Great that Afghanistan “is easy to march into but hard to march out of” had held out. Similarly, when you entered Afghanistan almost a decade after the Soviets had left, your defeat was only a prophesy. Now it’s a reality; a decade later, it will be history.
The Russians withdrew from the black hole not because they’d run short of guns and munitions, tanks and aircraft, men and material, but they had gone broke. If modern military wherewithal could win wars, you wouldn’t have had a chance to invade Afghanistan because Russia’s Red Army would have been still around. During the Russian war, you had supported the resisting forces you then called freedom fighters and mujahideen and supplied them military hardware, and the Saudis provided them financial aid, matching you dollar for dollar.
It’s another story that yesterday’s mujahideens are today’s terrorists. It’s not that the freedom fighters of yore have transformed into present-day terrorists and insurgents; it’s just that their enemy has changed places. For “Soviets” read “Americans.”
A University of California-educated engineer insisted on calling the forces resisting foreign occupation in Afghanistan “terrorists and insurgents.” When it was argued that the people of a sovereign country had every right to resist foreign occupation of their land, he wouldn’t understand. But asked what would he do if a few bandits barged into his house to dispossess him of it, he replied, “I would pull out my gun…” It’s precisely the situation in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya. Large Muslim populations furiously oppose foreign occupation of their lands but they are helpless because their governments are beholden to foreign interests.
Dear ally, isn’t it a pity that despite fighting your war on terror for a decade, sacrificing more than thirty thousand lives of innocent men, women, and children, and suffering financial losses worthbillions, we now face the wrong end of your guns? If you messed up in Afghanistan, why should you blame us for it? If you refused to learn from history and marched into the Afghanistan trap, ignoring what Alexander the Great had cautioned against, we’re hardly to blame for it. Wars of occupation have their own pitfalls that you should face yourself.
What will ultimately force you to withdraw to your own boundaries is your sinking economy. And it doesn’t make sense to launch wars on borrowed money. How, for instance, do you intend paying trillions of dollars you owe to China and Japan? How long is your policy of printing dollars to stave off economic collapse going to last? Your economy is in a shambles; you don’t produce items of domestic consumption any more. How long will the defence industry alone provide job opportunities to unemployed citizens that now stand one in six Americans?
Surely, you’d continue to have plenty of aircraft and warships, but not many employment opportunities, nor much social security, insurance and health cover for your citizens. When the Soviets faced economic meltdown at the end of their Afghan adventure in 1989, nobody had imagined it would cause the disintegration of a superpower. Your plight, dear ally, is not much different from the Soviets at the end of their ten years’ adventure in Afghanistan. The Soviets, nevertheless, had the integrity not to blame any other country for their follies.

The hippies stood up and put an end to their age of tyranny. Than they all got bought out, good paying jobs and all the TV bull they could believe in.
Occupy Wall Street needs to get past the wars, and focus on the real problems. It’s not just the violence and disorder, it’s the eugenic agenda behind it. I can’t believe how many people think over population is a problem… Planned parenthood for the poor, the suffering and the imbeciles. There’s more than enough food for everyone.
Damn, this article drew some of the better comments I have ever read here.
U know Cal, come on, You know Cal, don’t you?
And if Poppies…yes, momba…”poppies will put them to sleep” isn’t enough, then it’s just fine, no..”THERE GRRRREAT!, that you don’t cite them. (sorry daws)
Dammit a good comment except the “they’re great” flub makes me look like a rube.
The point is we let the zionist talmudist fake khazar jews run the economy of the world, and that is why we see war after war so these evil cult can set up their world government and rule over the world with their anti-Christ the dajjal
STUPID!!! You turn around and go home. Now observe:
1. Your American forces are controlled by traitors who have no intention of leaving EVER.
2. Your soldiers are mostly good. Stop showing up, the rest will come home and your done.
Wow. Alexander who? Who? I’m sorry, who is it? Alexander? It’s Alexander? Ok buddy ok ok. Take it easy. OK. Ok. It’s Alexander The Great. Ok take it easy buddy.
i didn’t even read the article. i’m just telling you what to do.
The article’s author dances around the point, but never draws the conclusion that America is not morally justified in occupation. I do. This is Vietnam all over again. The same song and dance that “we’re supporting a democratic government” and that “the majority of the people want freedom and, thus, support us. Both were lies then. Both are lies now.
When a foreign country supports a tyrannical government, nothing is going to prevent the people from kicking them out and reforming their government, short of killing the majority of that population. Every colonial war ever fought has proven that principle. Starting with our own Revolutionary War.
“No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is as formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.” – Ronald Reagan
If we HAD been supporting a truly freedom loving government in Vietnam, that war would have had a much different ending.
Of all the contenders for American President, only Ron Paul is informed and correct in his position on this. Too many Americans see him as “a grumpy old man”. Who would you prefer our next President to be more like, George Washington or Paul McCartney? The Beatles once claimed “to be more popular than Jesus Christ”. That wasn’t true at the time. It may be true now, in 21st century America. If that IS true it’s to our shame, to our shame…
“The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program.” – Ronald Reagan
“Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.” – Thomas Paine
“It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from its government.” – Thomas Paine
“I own that I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive.” – Thomas Jefferson
The question for 2012 becomes, “Do you want your children to live in a communist country, or not?”
