(and the answer to that ‘why?’ question has two threads…
..one being our govt sucking up to america….for a hoped-for ‘free-trade’-deal…as the reward…
..the other being the armchair warrior auto-erotic fantasies of key/power/this govt…
(who can forget that moment that simon power jumped the war-shark…back when bush was lying his way to the invasion of iraq..?
..his quote at the time was ‘all the way with bush..!’..)
and for what…?
the week that obama announces the pullout of american troops…has been one of the worst for iraq…
..as in ..the most civilians killed…
…they have no (promised) ‘stable-government’….
..and despite the billions soaked up contractors….
..basic water/power infrastructures are still not in place…
so…why were they there…?
..and perhaps power could tell us why he was so gung-ho to send our soldiers to be killed in that folly…?
..and if he now resiles from his ‘all the way’/war-fever outburst…?
and if not….why not…?
..and latterly..who can forget key being totally seduced by the war-talk of mccrystal..?..
and coming back here…still breathing heavily…and promising our soldiers…for the forseeable future….?
does he now resile from from that little period of over-excitement…?
..and if not…why not..?
which brings us back to the original question…
just why are we in afghanistan…?
(for all the macro-reasons why nobody should be there…insert the word ‘afghanistan’ into the whoar search-engine…)
