Since you can find evildoers all over the world, and jobless Americans on every street corner in the U.S., it only makes sense for the government to put two and two together. <br /><br />It probably looks good to Obama because it allows him to ship overseas thousands of the formally idealistic, currently pissed-off young people who supported him in the naive hope that he actually meant what he said. All in exchange for forgiveness of the student loans they racked up pursuing now-worthless degrees and a "job" digging foxholes 10,000 miles from home. Such a deal!! <br /><br />Even better, it will be a lot easier to misplace their ballots on the trip from Camp Woebegone to election headquarters in the U.S.. By all means, jack that ratio to 10:1000. Full employment for all!jpwhitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17975430453557627368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12796551.post-28541011887637179732009-10-29T17:00:52.565-04:002009-10-29T17:00:52.565-04:00The minimium COIN ratio is 10:1000. 2.5:1000 is C...The minimium COIN ratio is 10:1000. 2.5:1000 is CT!!<br /><br />However, that is malarky. The figure in "nation building" is what percent of the population of evil doers plotting to blow up New York and Muslim miscreants who don't agree with John Calvin and Adam Smith need to be killed to win the survivors over?<br /><br />The problem with the pentagon, from buying airplanes to extorting more kids to Afghanistan, is they talk resources all the time and neglect to tell anyone what the resources need to achieve.<br /><br />Sending more troops is meaningless unless they tell how many enemy insurgents have to be killed before a village becomes sufficiently passive or a grave site.<br /><br />The US and it allies will have to engage in a final solution with Islam.<br /><br />How many will die before NY is safe from Islam?<br /><br />There is historic example: Ghengis Khan, Hitler, and Stalin, let's quit moralizing and get on with it before Al Qaida gets nukes.<br /><br />Loggie20Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12796551.post-24264172656413069242009-10-29T03:46:37.295-04:002009-10-29T03:46:37.295-04:00I think it is.I think it is.Jeff Huberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14146644937683409726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12796551.post-32871080390377031862009-10-29T01:14:52.237-04:002009-10-29T01:14:52.237-04:00This is definitely a guarranteed money maker for t...This is definitely a guarranteed money maker for the guys in the arms and PMC industries! <br /><br />Maybe I am in the wrong job after all! I can make more money (legally) providing and peddling death and suffering in a week, than working as a nurse in a Hospital in three weeks or a month. <br /><br />This article has only just reinforced how little faith I have in Gen McChrystal as a soldier and as a person.<br /><br />It will be more like 250,000 U.S. and NATO/Allied troops as the Afghan security forces have already proven to be inept. This, and the corruption in the Afghan govt. kinda reminds me of Vietnam....inept troops, rampant corruption in govt. and military circles, use of sanctuaries by the enemy etc. etc.<br /><br />Tis the end of the Empire, sire!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
