| How deep into propaganda do you need to be to call 'the other guys' murderers and your own side heroes and warriors? I didn't think that degree of delusion had reached Britain's Guardian, but there it is.
And how do the killings deal a "severe blow to government's Afghanistan exit strategy"?
You mean the British government didn't know that a great percentage of the native troops the US and UK have hired want the patriotic resistance, I mean the Taliban, to win, and almost all are just trying to stay alive and collect paychecks (and weapons)? Doesn't this incident provide a boost, actually, to the real exit strategy, which is based on the fact that things are going to hell, all plans to crush the resistance have failed, so it's time to just leave?
At least the New York Times tells it straight:
Afghan Soldier Kills 3 British Soldiers
No editorializing, just another three ugly and meaningless deaths.
How badly do we dislike that hard truth? Not nearly enough, from what I see of a listless and barely antiwar movement. |
