"LONDON - The secretary general of NATO said Thursday that alliance forces should begin handing responsibility to Afghan forces in a coordinated way next year in areas where conditions permit.Anders Fogh Rasmussen issued a statement after talks in London with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. The talks come as President Barack Obama weighs a decision on sending more troops to Afghanistan — though alliance nations have been reluctant to commit more troops.The NATO chief and Brown agree that transition to Afghan leadership is the way forward."They must figure new generations won't remember this garbage from the 70s. The corporate war in Vietnam was going very badly despite intense bombing campaigns and billions thrown at it. Morale had plummeted and the military was coming apart . The '72 election was coming up and Nixon decided to rebrand america's failing efforts to prolong the invasion, calling it Vietnamization. Sound a little familiar?The empire will never leave Afghanistan until it's defeated and thrown out just like it'll never leave Iraq until it's beaten and tossed out on it's ear. These neo colonial occupations are for purposes unstated, never for the bullshit reasons they pawn off on the unwashed. Let's just say those giant installations that were built aren't going to be abandoned any time soon.Methods vary from colony to colony but the template stays the same. Empire finds reasons to invade that will be palatable for the mouthbreathers back home who foot the bills, then goes about the task of destroying all home grown opposition to the occupation, usually in a brutal manner. Next up is to find compliant stooges who are installed as an obedient Vichy government. If all goes according to plan, a substantially funded security apparatus gets installed, usually terrorizing the population with gusto to keep the peasants in line and the occupation's objectives fulfilled. After eight years that seems to be the point our overlords are at now in Piplinestan and in the psychos' dreams they can put their feet up in their lavish bases and let their traitorous wogs do the dirty.Of course, all this filth has to crouch behind much better smelling language. So along with venerating the military which gets tasked for these thankless jobs the whole package is smothered in flowery language for the Foxified dead-from-the-neck-up droolers. "Liberation" "Responsibility" "Commitment" "Transition""Peace with Honor"
