Afghanistan, ongoing: The Haquani Network has scored what the Asia Times is calling a "technical knock-out" with their April 15th serious of coordinated attacks that some have compared to a mini version of the 1968 Tet Offensive in Vietnam. A total of 39 Taliban fighters were killed, far less than Viet Cong losses at Tet. Like Tet, the offensive was not a military sucess in taking and holding territory, but also like Tet is was a show of capability and a blow to the invader's morale. The offensive included focussed attacks on the German Embassy, the British Embassy, the US Embassy, and NATO headquarters. A British Embassy guard tower took a direct hit from a rocket. RPG round hit a house used by Britih diplomats.
Had enough, President Obama? You can't win this war. After two incidents of US troops defiling the dead, the Koran burning, and the March 11 Massacre, the outcome of this war is no longer in doubt. Now's the time to pull the plug-bring all the troops home TODAY!
