I like Norman Solomon because he reports from the frontlines.
Not the frontlines of the TROOPS but those of the poor,ordinary citizens in Afghanistan.
Don't believe what you hear from the Congresspeople who go there,they never step OUTSIDE OF THE PROTECTED 'bubble'.
Listen very carefully to Mr.Solomon,and you will hear why we are nowhere near to winning the Pentagons "WHAM(WinningHeartsAnd Minds)Campaign".
But then, one has to question,does our Govt and the Obushma campaign ACTUALLY care about hearts,minds,hungry stomachs,dying children,rising anti-Americanism,if it continues to spend ONE DIME on re-building Afghanistan for EVERY dollar spent on the MILITARY to destroy it and displce the Afghan people.
Or,do they JUST see barrels and barrels of crude oil in stead of ALL THE BLOOD that's shed?
Obama,how can we win those hearts and minds when the same organs are lying cold and limp,scattered on the streets in pools of blood?
Wake up Barack,you are spinning a MYTH,losing us VITAL ALLIES,and bankrupting the USA . LISTEN TO MR.SOLOMON AND HIS TRUE ASSESSMENT of AfPak.
