New York Post: Interesting article by regular Fox Contributor, Ralph Peters, the article is critical that the review for Afghanistan has not stated how many new troops is need for new strategy in Afghanistan. The article states the following on the military operation in Afghanistan, " We can't save Afghanistan -- because Afghans don't want to be saved.... Afghanistan is worthless. Worthless.....In comparison, Vietnam was a model of clarity and purpose. " I noted that that the Mr Peters was a Fox Contributor as to show that he was not left wing, also Mr Peters is ex military, and does not favour a heavy troop presence in Afghanistan but special forces to take out the terrorists. Thus the point being that Afghanistan can sometimes have different bed fellows for supports or withdrawal. This blog has gone from wanting to withdraw, the need to win the War if the UK Government would spend some money to back to withdraw again. That the problem with Afghanistan there are no easy solutions, all are bad or worse solutions. When I read a left wing article that I don't want to agree with but find some substance I go back to supporting the War. The last thing on this earth that this blog ever wants to do is share a political bed with the New York Times or San Francisco Liberals, thus my counter arguments to withdrawal. Lets hope the new strategy works in Afghanistan, there seem no out that's the problem, just more blood. Read of the Day.
