War in Pakistan -Waziristan Coming Soon to a Market Near America.
9 years, 1384 deaths, 260,000 troops and $236 Billion later, Operation Enduring Freedom brought another lost American war to Afghanistan.
America did not won a war since World War II. The 72 Million who lost their lives and property in World War II did not win either.
Now there are calls for 40,000 to 80,000 more troops in Afghanistan for a total 300,000 to 340,000.
260,000 troops bivouac and fight in mountainous cold terrains at altitudes up to four miles high while politicians visit in comfort and safety. There are 135,000 troops still in Iraq since 20 March 2003 for Operation Iraqi Freedom, a total of 395,000. This may not include Navy on alert in the Middle East.
Try to Google the number of Americans between 18 and 35: another Orwell memory hole. We added the numbers up the old-fashioned way and came up with at least 1% of American men 18-35 fighting in the Middle East, another real drain on the productive American economy.
Consider Iraqi Reservists transferred from 130-degree desert storms to an average 5 Afghan degrees in January, with extended tours of duty instead of returning home in to a dead economy or in a box.
While Al Qaeda and other terrorist operatives hide in Caves, we recall:
Revelation 6:15:
Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.
Two Pakistani Generals claimed just $500 M of the $6.6 Billion from American taxpayers reached the Pakistan Army.
They say this resulted in helicopter, night vision and other military equipment failures and shortages.
Others suggest the billions were diverted to gold and Swiss Bank accounts, possible nuclear or special operations in Kashmir and Mumbai against Hindu India.
Eric Margolis, editor of the Toronto Sun, contributor to several Middle-East newspapers and member of the Institutes for Strategic and Regional Studies in London and Islamabad , who describes himself as an Eisenhower Republican in the Huffington Post, reports lies and bribes drive the Afghanistan War.
