superduper army hasnt been able to do anything in the last 8 years.
I love how Bill Roggio jumps at any chance to post news that validates the Taliban's claims that they are unbeatable in Pakistan, but has not posted even one post on the so far less than spectacular results of the US operation in Helmand where Taliban are simply no where to be found.
His obsession with Pakistan's missteps (and there have been many) continues, but he dares not criticize the continuing failure of US strategy in Afghanistan.
Expectations were based on the US hype itself that this would be the turning point of the war against the Taliban. Allegedly killing 30 or so talibs and then having marines faint from exhaustion and boredom while marching, and not even encountering any talibs for days now is simply repeating the same story that has been repeated since day one of the invasion. Maybe you can answer the question of what the helmand ops are supposed to accomplish - create a permanent base for US marines?"...the so far less than spectacular results of the US operation in Helmand where Taliban are simply no where to be found."
What were your expectations, sir, that would qualify as "spectacular" Further, on what basis would you be a judge of success or failure? The operation is but a few weeks old and I'm unaware of any disappointing setback.
Perhaps you can answer those two questions...?
