Letters: Failed strategy in Afghanistan

When will the Obama administration stop transplanting the Bush administration's failed methods from Iraq to Afghanistan and Pakistan (US begins major offensive against Taliban, 1 July)? The strategy is the same one Rumsfeld used in Iraq in 2004-06. Cities like Samarra and Falluja were repeatedly assaulted with artillery, helicopters and air strikes, resulting in heavy civilian casualties and… » Full Story on The Guardian

The same media people who worked against US interests for the last 8 years are cropping up again.

Is this what you would call a loaded question? It certainly is not without bias.
With this kind of journalism it's no wonder we're in the mess that we are. We must have a separation of media and liberalism.

Every illness, every dictator's oppression, every conflict is Bush's fault. He ruined the world...and no matter how many flower petals, peace signs, and big white grins Obama spreads, Bush is still the center of evil in the world. Bush is not the source of evil or his retreat to Crawford would have resulted in world harmony. Instead, we have Honduras with military juntas, N. Korea blasting missiles, Putin back in cold war rhetoric, a protracted conflict in Afghanistan, insurrection in Pakistan, and a partridge in a pear tree. Power and hate are part of man's nature... hugs and smiles are not a good world strategy for addressing that reality. They are a fantastic means for distracting the minions while you oppress them with more conniving exercises to wrestle control into the hands of the few. Sorry folks...but this was plucking the grandma-bonnet wolf from the pack and placing him directly in the hen house. How long will we keep our little red hoods over our heads?!

What leftist, liberal, "progressive" hog snot! Time to pull your heads out of your asses and try a large dose of truth. Obamalamadingdong is followwing in GWB's footsteps because he ain't got a clue. Passivism by J. Carter had Americans held hostages for months, pasivism by Clinton got 3000+ people killed. What evil will be perpertrated against America under this nitwit remains to be seen. Obamalamadingdong promised to end all wars forever in the history of the universe, WTF happened?

The arthor Major John Masters (Bugles and a Tiger, The Road Past Mandalay)spent his career fighting in this area,You would do well to read his books.Alexander the Great ran out of steam fighting these people. and they have fought everyone ever since.I'm sure we could kill them one way or another but maybe we should use our heads.They like gold why not pay them to kill each other, The Brits did it for a hundred years. As Masters puts it,"Let them get back to doing what they like best. Killing each other".

The People's State shall win when we fail in Afghanistan. This evil capitalist country has ridden high in the saddle for too long and needs to be taken down to the proper level for past many sins. The world will like us better when we have suffered and have more humility. Long Live Comrade Savior Curious BO BO and the communist People's State of America. BO BO's shining goodness shall provide light to the world. Can't we all just get along? Fairness, Hope, and Change demand it.

Yes the Bush plan was a complete failure. That is why we are leaving iraq now with our heads down.

Oh, Wait a sec. I think that plan actually worked in Iraq and we are leaving there sooner than expected now.

What a crock of BS. Don't buzz this crap onto Yahoo. Leave it to the Huff Post.
