THIS IS WHY WE HAVE LOST IN AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ….AND YOU CAN PIN THIS ONE ON BUSH WHO APPOINTED DAVID OF PETRAEUSTAN AND ENDORSED THE COIN DOCTRINE OF LOSERS….AS ANDREW BOSTOM SAYS “
” The preening, pseudo-moralistic voice of amoral, post-modern COIN defeatism, in its own words.”
McChrystal: Bin Laden’s Death Shouldn’t Be Celebrated |
Written by:Diana West 11/28/2011 8:10:00 PM |
Missed this little gem of last May about Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s evening with the International Relations Society at Oxford.
From a write-up in The Express Tribune by Mohammed Ali Rai, a Rhodes Scholar and one of the hosts of the event:
Soon after this the topic changed to what everyone had come to hear about — the general’s perspective on the Bin Laden episode. Instead of bashing Pakistan, McChrystal showed his mettle and worth — he argued that the US has made a lot of mistakes with Pakistan, and Pakistan has also made an equal number of mistakes, and there is no point in sticking to these mistakes. He continued that Bin Laden is dead and that should be the end of the story. He rationally argued that the only way out is to look forward to the future, and build up on a solid and trustworthy partnership that is beneficial for both states.
To my surprise, the general also brought up the issue of Pakistan’s territorial sovereignty and how that had been violated in the Bin Laden mission. The general even went on to say that the news of Bin Laden’s death was not something that should be celebrated, as there is no happiness and satisfaction in the loss of human life.
For real?
