Is Petraeus McChrystal’s Replacement or Obama’s
By Paul Craig RobertsOur petulant president’s ego can’t handle a general letting off steam. Neither can any of the spoiled children who comprise “our” government in DC, the capital of the “superpower.”
(Yes Paul that's one way of looking at it.
However there is a saying that one should not bite the very hand that feeds you.
There is also the issue of national strategic agenda setting.........whose job is it? The military or the civilian politicians who have been elected....The Rolling Stone magazine is the culmination of a one year long process where the good general has been actively seeking important media platforms to state what HE WANTS, in the USA, and abroad........and that may not be in the best interests of American democracy or overall general policy towards Afghanistan.
General McCrystal besides being a military man is also a very important public figure, posted to an extremely sensitive position by Washington.....what he says was always going to matter.
In the USA, the military important figures traditionally criticize government openly only after they have retired, and no longer in service.
A lot of McCrystal's criticism seemed to be personalized against other military men, such as Eikenberry, or civilian politicians such as Biden and even the President. WHAT CONSTRUCTIVE SOLUTIONS WAS HE REALLY OFFERING TO EXTRICATE THE USA FROM THE AFGHAN MESS, beyond the public exposure of playground kiddy cat fights.
Afghanistan after the initial success of 2001, by accident or design, is a failed project where the USA to save its dignity should simply and courageously announce that it will be leaving the country asap.....the generals sacking is a reflection of this fact)
Generals have to fight wars that civilians start, either from the incompetence of their diplomacy or the arrogance of their hubris. Generals have to get young troops killed because of the stupidity or ambition or corruption of civilian government officials.
(That may have been true at one time in American history, but since WWII, and especially from the 1960's, the USA military-industrial complex, in league with the Jew lobby have been setting American military goals........PNAC (2000) is the classic example. It is not so much unintentional incompetency from the most advanced nation on earth, but fundamental intentions and motivations within the Jewish military/industrial complex structure.)
All McChrystal did was to let off steam. A real president would have realized that and let it go.
(There was more to it than that...............it was calculated)
Don’t get me wrong. McChrystal is a militarist, and I am pleased to see him gone.
(What would you do with a military man who wasn't a militarist?)
However, McChrystal didn’t restart America’s aggression against Afghanistan. The Obama moron did.
(Obama was selected and groomed over 30 years or more by the Jewish banker's of Wall Street. He is no more the leader of the USA than you or I are....others write his speech, and he presents them, thats it. His job is to sound as much WASPISH as possible with the neo-liberal buzz vocab, whilst physically looking black)
People elected Obama, because they were tired of Bush’s wars based on lies. So Obama gave us a new war in Pakistan and reignited the Afghan war. (That is what George Soros and his Jewish banker cabal want) No one knows what these wars are about or why the bankrupt US government is wasting vast sums of money, which it has to borrow from foreigners, in order to murder the citizenry in two countries that have never done anything to us.
Just as Bush/Cheney and their criminal neocon government deceived the world that Saddam Hussein had “weapons of mass destruction” that threatened white people everywhere, Obama has conflated the Taliban with al Qaeda. Obama has sold the tale to white countries that unless the US determines how Afghanistan is ruled and by whom, white people are in danger of being exterminated by al Qaeda Taliban terrorists.
The most telling aspect of the McChrystal-Obama contretemps is that it has caused no one in the US government, or media, to ask why the US is still killing women and children in Afghanistan after 9 years. The US government is prepared for everyone except itself to be tried at the War Crimes Tribunal.
Fred Branfman writing in AlterNet on June 22 reminds us that five million Iraqis were killed, maimed, tortured and displaced by an American invasion based on lies told by the highest officials in the American government. Yet, no one has been held accountable.
But Gen. McChrystal is held accountable for letting off steam.
(There is more to it than that.
Propaganda is at the center of this latest Jew war. If you have the top military commander criticizing the Obama administration, and telling the public what Obama is really like.....a naive nave FRONT stumbling through policy {for the Jewish bankers} than that doesn't do their agenda many favors.......OFCOURSE THE Jew banker front is going to look and sound uncomfortable in and with real military commanders, some of whom presumably earned their position through some merit.)
Once the Roman senate, the legislative branch, collapsed, the caesars, the executive branch, became the captives of the military. Now with Gen. Petraeus once again moved to the fore as McChrystal’s replacement in Afghanistan, we have the Obama moron elevating Petraeus to the Republican presidential nomination in the next election.
(hook nosed Petraeus is a crypto-Jew....the Jew bankers very own, being groomed for a possible political career. McCrystal was a gungo ho WASP but crucially not captured and controlled by the Jew bankers, that is the redeeming aspect of his whole persona)
Thus has Obama replaced himself with a man who will unify the military and executive branch.
Associated Press writers Jennifer Loven and Anne Gearan write (June 23) about the “admired and tightly disciplined Gen. David Petraeus,” the “architect of the Iraq war turnaround,” who is “once again to take hands-on leadership of a troubled war effort.”
Petraeus is an evolved form of general. He “won” in Iraq by paying protection money to the Sunnis who were effectively resisting the US occupation. Petraeus figured out that it was far cheaper and more efficient to put the Sunnis on the US military payroll and to pay them to stop fighting, which is how the war between the Sunnis and the Americans ended. To keep the Americans out of the ongoing large scale sectarian violence that continues to slaughter Iraqis, the US military was confined to remote bases.
If history is a guide, the Afghans will also accept Petraeus’ protection money, and Petraeus has just enough time to buy the Afghan war before the next presidential election.
The Afghans will, of course, take the money and wait us out, just as the Iraqis are doing.
All of this drama is playing out despite the continuing lack of any valid reason for the American invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. The Washington idiots, trying to dictate how Iraq and Afghanistan are governed, are destroying constitutional government in the United States. In our hubris to determine how Iraq and Afghanistan are ruled, we are losing our own government.
