"Taliban defeat will take years: US general"
"US general Major General David Rodriguez, head of the US-led coalition force, said the US military would stay in the country "as long as they are needed."
Translation: We are never leaving Afghanistan, either!!!!
And we are going to be ALL ALONE at some point, too!
"Angela Merkel rules out Afghan combat role"
"Chancellor Angela Merkel has defied Germany's Nato allies by refusing to commit troops to combat zones in Afghanistan.
Despite intense pressure from the United States and warnings that the dispute could lead to an irreparable split in the trans-Atlantic alliance, Mrs Merkel said that her government would not reconsider the terms of the mandate under which German soldiers are stationed in the country."
Which will be no problem with the murderous air power the U.S. can provide (with a quiver full of nukes, too):
"Unilateral Strike Called a Model For U.S. Operations in Pakistan"
".... Having requested the Pakistani government's official permission for such strikes on previous occasions, only to be put off or turned down, this time the U.S. spy agency did not seek approval. The government of Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf was notified only as the operation was underway, according to the officials, who insisted on anonymity because of diplomatic sensitivities.
Officials say the incident was a model of how Washington often scores its rare victories these days in the fight against al-Qaeda inside Pakistan's national borders: It acts with assistance from well-paid sympathizers inside the country, but without getting the government's formal permission beforehand.It is an approach that some U.S. officials say could be used more frequently this year, particularly if a power vacuum results from yesterday's election and associated political tumult....
U.S. military officials say, however, that the uneven performance of their Pakistani counterparts increasingly requires that Washington pursue the fight however it can, sometimes following an unorthodox path that leaves in the dark Pakistani military and intelligence officials who at best lack commitment and resolve and at worst lack sympathy for U.S. interests....."
What of Pakistani SOVEREIGNTY?
And given the new government's alleged stand, we may exclusively resort to such a strategy:
"The winners of Pakistan’s parliamentary elections said Tuesday that they would take a new approach to fighting Islamic militants by pursuing more dialogue than military confrontation..."
Of course, who knows what to believe anymore -- especially when it is found on AmeriKa's Zionist-controlled MSM!!!
"Information Operation Roadmap: Information Warfare Without Limits"
"When the US military refers to full spectrum domination, they truly mean full spectrum. Information operations or information warfare is a key part of the military battlespace. Recently, a document entitled Information Operation Roadmap was declassified by the Pentagon because of a Freedom of Information Act request by the National Security Archive at George Washington University.
The following series of articles examines the Pentagon's intention of gaining full spectrum dominance in information warfare. Including the desire to dominate the electro-magnetic spectrum and "fight the net". Also, I will expand on the use of psychological operations or PSYOP as defined by the Information Operation Roadmap and if any limits exist in information warfare.
