"THE SURGE" WAS TOUTED AS THE MIRACLE THAT SAVED THE IRAQ WAR...
WHAT HAPPEN IN "THE SURGE" WAS THE US MILITARY GOT THE SHIA DEATH SQUADS OUT OF THE SUNNI NEIGHBORHOODS....
THEN PAID THE SUNNIS NOT TO FIGHT THE AMERICANS....BY FINANCING THE "AWAKENING COUNCILS"...
THESE AWAKENING COUNCILS WERE AGREED TO BY THE SUNNIS AS A PREPARATION FOR THEIR CIVIL WAR WITH THE PRO-IRANIAN "GREEN ZONE" SHIA...
CALL IT THE "CHECK BOOK STRATEGY"....
BUT GUESS WHAT...? IT WORKED...SORT OF...
...AT LEAST LONG ENOUGH FOR THE BUSH-CHENEY GANG TO GET OUT OF WASHINGTON... OF COURSE...THE OLD CIVIL DIVISIONS ARE NOW STARTING UP AGAIN...BUT WE HAVE "MOVED ON"....
SO TOO IN AFGANISTAN...PETRAEUS WILL BE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO PAY OFF TO..."END THE WAR"....AND PERHAPS "DECLARE VICTORY" LONG ENOUGH FOR OBAMA & CO TO BUG OUT OF GUARDING THE POPPY CROP FOR KABUL...
HERE'S THE PROBLEM:
THE PASHTUNS ARE THE "REAL AFGHANS"... THEY DOMINATE THE SOUTH...AND THE WEST PART OF PAKISTAN...
THE TAJIKS AND UZBEKS OF THE NORTH...ARE REFUGEES OR TRANSPLANTS FROM SOVIET DAYS...OR FROM THE OLD DAYS WHEN THESE NOMADIC HERDERS CROSSED THE BORDERS FREELY...
IT WOULD SEEM THAT THE PASHTUNS ARE THE SINE QUO NON IN AFGHANISTAN...
SO...LIKELY PETRAEUS WILL SEEK TO SUPPORT THE "NEWLY NICE" TALIBAN...A/K/A THE "PAKISTANI TALIBAN"...
THEN, PAY OFF THE TAJIK AND UZBEK DRUG LORDS...AND THUS EXIT THE WAR...
REMEMBER HOW THE "EVIL SUNNIS" BECAME "NICE SUNNIS"...AFTER THE SURGE...AND THE CHECKS CLEARED FOR THE AWAKENING COUNCIL FUNDING?
OK...LIKE THAT...ONLY IN AFGHANISTAN...
SAME DEAL IN AFGHANISTAN.... WITHOUT THE PASHTUNS THERE IS NO AFGHANISTAN...
THE NORTHERN MINORITIES...THE TAJIKS AND UZBEKS...WILL BE BOUGHT OFF...USING THE "CHECK BOOK STRATEGY"...A/K/A "THE SURGE" OF CASH...!
OR MADE TO GO BACK TO THEIR RESPECTIVE NATION STATES JUST NORTH OF THE AFGHAN BORDER...
