Regardless if they need them. Bob Woodward reporting that the solution is now "economic" rather than " military." Heh. More taxpayer money (whee! Let's print some more!) will solve the problems of Islamic militants...not more military force, even if their lives depend on it. After all, the president might say "all requests for more troops will prompt a “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot” response in the Oval Office. " (For the uninformed....take the first letter of each word...WTF...what do you think that means?) Read Jules Crittenden's take on it:
Woodward goes on to repeat the strategic mantra, ”security, economic development and reconstruction.” The mission statement: ”Killing the enemy is secondary.” The generals may think they need up to 32,000 more troops in addition to the 68,000 already authorized, but … WTF? Jones tells jarhead commanders in Afghanistan: “The piece of the strategy that has to work in the next year is economic development.”[SNIP]“We’re doing this very differently,” Nicholson said to his senior officers a few hours before the mission began. “We’re going to be with the people. We’re not going to drive to work. We’re going to walk to work.”
