In a clear admission of defeat, the General McChrsytal is asking for more troops from President Obama. He will also be presenting another review next month. More than a dozen reviews have already been undertaken. Each one presented a perpetuation of the policies of President Bush. This new McChrsytal is not going to be any different. The American policies have led to the loss of 80% of Afghanistan to the Taliban. The bogus strategic assessments have led to the destabilization of areas in Pakistan and have instrumental in creating huge problems for Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.

Most independent analysts will confirm that there is no military solution to Afghanistan. If General McChrsytal wants another 40,000 troops, what evidence can he present that having 100, 000 soldiers will solve the problems in Afghanistan. The Soviets had twice or three times the forces and still could not pacify the country. Neither could the British, the Mongols or the Mecadonians.
The Taliban of Afghanistan have clearly said that they will not join the government unless the US leaves. When will America hear the churhbells of peace?
