America's Failed Formula for Worldwide War
How the Empire Changed Its Face, But Not Its Nature
by Nick Turse
"***
Since 2001, the U.S. military has thrown everything in its arsenal, short of nuclear weapons, including untold billions of dollars in weaponry, technology, bribes, you name it, at a remarkably weak set of enemies -- relatively small groups of poorly-armed fighters in impoverished nations like Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, and Yemen -- while decisively defeating none of them. ***
***
It spends billions on intelligence only to routinely find itself in the dark. ***
***
And that isnt the half of it.
The U.S. military devours money and yet delivers little in the way of victories
***"
======================================================================
We haven't won a war since WW II
and we wouldn't have won then
had it not been for Russia.
And though we have been at war since Bush II
we haven't lost as many people in all our wars since then
as were lost in a a single "over the top" attack of WW I ---
or as we lost in a reconnaisance in force
during WW II..
As my old WW II buddy, Chuck Poulton, might say:
"The stranger it gets the longer it takes.."
SHOCKLEY
(but hey, what can you expect when we are led by Axelrod, Obama, Petraeus, Panetta, Clinton, Rice, Powers, & Company and their Dualy controllers.)
