I've come to a conclusion that war on terror is not about winning. Here are a few simple examples.
On national geographic there was a story on journalist embed with green berets in camp cobra, in Afghanistan. Story goes like so, elders from all over come to cobra to tell them they want to fight taliban. They raise a point that patrols never reach villages that are far away from cobra. This provokes green berets to go on a mission to one of these far villages. They get ambushed, people die.
An story on discovery channel about embed with contractors in Iraq shows contractors driving to a remote city on the only one road into and out of that city. They know that they will get ambushed on their way out. They do get ambushed.
Insurgents and Taliban are in control and have the upper hand?
Let's use our brains people.
In the first instance, even a fool can understand that green berets were intentionally drawn further out of camp cobra, so that they could get ambushed. Sure, Taliban had no idea which village, at least at first. But the journey was long enough for them to put together an ambush.
Also in the first instance. Reports indicate that anyone seen in contact with Americans will get killed by Taliban. Yet! You see the whole village come in contact and use Americans to full advantage as far as medical care and food goes. It's a strategic move, to hold green berets up, so that they approach place of Ambush later in the day, thus forcing them to be more reckless as they exposed in the open, during dark, without cover.
Second instance. Contractors and Army and Marines, everybody knows about these ambushes. One road in, one road out. On their way in, contractors let insurgents know they're coming and will be going out soon. They prepare the ambush.
Here are two solutions if you know it's going to happen and where. A) have a high flying drone, invisible to the naked eye from the ground, pin point people on the ground, and then have an F16 fly past them at high rate of speed and drop some cheap Vietnam era fire bombs. Solution B) is to line up several Apaches and pick out targets one by one. Surely, anything hot in the zone and at time when no one should be out is a target.
Franky, in the second instance, it was no ambush. Contractors knew it will happen.
Now, you might think that the U.S. is simply over extended. Richest country is over extended? That's nothing but pure bull sh1t. There is a reason for everything.
Gentlemen, war on terror is not about winning. War on terror is about destabilizing the middle east for our own advantage. War is money, history shows the United States does very well economically during war. They can win, but they don't want to win.
Winning this "terror war" so soon would be a poorly thought economic move.
