		<description><![CDATA[&lt;em&gt;All&lt;/em&gt; we needed to do was bomb from afar.

&lt;em&gt;No&lt;/em&gt; nation building.

&lt;em&gt;No&lt;/em&gt; boots on the ground.

Just punish our enemies with lethal ordnance from
the air.

Cruise missiles, drones, B-2&#039;s, whatever kills the most jihadis and endangers the fewest of our forces.

Getting entangled in these Islamic pestholes is folly.

Their faith is to hate us.

Until that changes, nothing changes.

&lt;strong&gt;Bomb From Afar&lt;/strong&gt;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;“All this sends a very simple and very powerful message to al-Qaida, to the Taliban, and to the violent extremist groups who want to regain a safe haven in Afghanistan: We are not going anywhere; our commitment to Afghanistan is long term, and you cannot wait us out,” Panetta said in a speech to the Center for a New American Security, a think tank.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Panetta is aware that the official position of the Obama White House is &quot;The Taliban is not our Enemy&quot;......

.....would be just like Chruchill declaring &quot;The Nazi&#039;s are not our enemy&quot;....

Yea...there is no doubt that the jihadist have nothing but fear for us when they hear this.

So tell us Panetta.....rebuild any more Mosques for our enemies lately????]]></description>

Pretty sure we use Abrams. For certain we don&#039;t use Shermans anymore.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;Panetta said the evolving campaign will feature the use of small U.S. strike forces; more partnering with foreign commandos; and more training and other forms of assistance that enable partner nations to combat terrorism on their own. …&lt;/blockquote&gt;

...yes because the partnering of &quot;foreign commandos&quot; worked out so well for our Consulate in Libya and is a freaking smashing success in Afghanistan where &quot;our partners&quot; are killing more Soldiers than IEDs.
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;“All this sends a very simple and very powerful message to al-Qaida, to the Taliban, and to the violent extremist groups who want to regain a safe haven in Afghanistan: We are not going anywhere; our commitment to Afghanistan is long term, and you cannot wait us out,”&lt;/strong&gt; Panetta said in a speech to the Center for a New American Security, a think tank.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

...yes...they are shaking in the Turbins listening to Obama constantly talk about exit dates...oversee ROEs that give our enemies an advantage over our Soldiers on the battlefield......and we turn our military decision making over to the Taliban sympathizers in Karzi&#039;s administration (like night raids).

 This is literally like watching Baghdad Bob declare that &quot;the Americans are not here&quot; as Sherman tanks roll right behind him.

Only brain dead Obama supporters believe this drivel.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The empire will fall, they always do. We are too stupid to learn from Alexander the Great, the British Empire,  or the Soviets.  We&#039;ve killed the majority of those that were responsible for 9/11, we should not be training anyone, we should not be building schools or giving them the hard earned cash of American  citizens.  This debacle no longer has anything to do with our national defense.]]></description>
