Parableof the General as a Rolling Stone


Parable ofthe General as a Rolling Stone


In actionreminiscent of of Harry Truman firing General MacArthur during theKorean war, President Obama relieved General McChrystal
of his dutiesin Afghanistan for denigrating remarks in Rolling Stone magazine.

Wethink the general orchestrated his departure to escape being part ofAmerica's neo-Vietnam, especially after calling for a surge of troopsthat have done nothing to stop the forward march of Taliban. Clearly,the Taliban has stopped the US and NATO who should have marchedvictoriously into Kandahar by now.

Enter General Petraeus (betrayus), author of the "surge" in Iraq, although we know the "surge" was a30 million dollar monthly payoff to the Sunni fighters, mainly in AnbarProvince. This is the main reason violence decreased, not the 30,000troops who occupied Baghdad by following the General's highly toutedcounter-insurgency text.

We wonder will General Betray-us comewith money bags in tow? Of course, the US and NATO are already paying(two billion dollars to date) war lords, tribal chiefs and Taliban forsafe passage on the roads to deliver 80% of their supplies.

Theplan is to offer the Taliban fighters more billions for jobs, housingand schooling if they lay down their arms and pledge allegiance to theMayor of Kabul, the dope dealing President Karzai, whose brothercontrols the opium trade that expanded since the US occupiers arrived.At least while the Taliban were in power, they curtailed the opium tradeunder pain of execution.

The opium has devastated the land withentire families addicted, including babies. One of the main reasonsprogress has been slow in constructing the Afghan army is because thesoldiers are addicted. They fight for a moment, then disappear to chasethe dragon.

What is most striking is the mantra that the US is inAfghanistan to deny Al Queda a sanctuary, while most sources say thereare only one hundred of these socalled terrorists in that war tornnation. Why does it take 30,000 troops to defeat one hundred? When wasthe last time you heard Al Queda soldiers killed in Afghanistan?

Obama'spolicy is thus to continue the permanent war that feeds the USmilitary-corporate complex. Hey, hey, how many did you kill today, inIraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, and soon Iran?

  • Obama is the fall guy, shoe shine boy, boot licker, scape goat. We predict Mechelle will soon cry, as did Job's wife, "Curse God and die." We've seen when the American cities were decadent, dead and dying, they were passed on the Negro mayors, and so with the White House. If as predicted the November elections are a disaster from the Demon-crats, Obama may be so humbled as to utter the word Black as he scrambles to his base for redemption in time for the 2012 elections. Order my book Pull Yo Pants Up fada Black Prez, Black Bird Press. Yes, I was caught up in the romanticism of the moment, but I can see clearly now. m
