The WikiLeaks are cover for a retreat from Afghanistan

Try this for a conspiracy. With the war in Iraq going badly, P-BO talked like a big shot during the campaign about how Iraq distracted us from our mission in Afghanistan. He promised to end the war in Iraq and dedicate our assets to the war in Afghanistan.


Then, all of the sudden, the war in Iraq looks good. So good in fact that Slow Joe Biden talks about Iraq being one of P-BO’s greatest accomplishments.

Now the war in Afghanistan is going badly. And P-BO’s hand picked man has dissed him forcing P-BO to fire the guy and bring back President Bush’s General to fix Afghanistan. In the process the general is pitching the P-BO strategy of…what?...getting UN permission before firing on targets. Now his whole out by next spring thing is crumbling at his feet.

P-BO is now like a dog that chases cars. He’s finally caught one, but now what? Actually that’s a metaphor for his entire presidency to date, but let’s continue with Afghanistan. Afghanistan is no longer the good war that it was during the campaign. He wants out. So what to do? Have an operative dump 96,000 pages of documents that make the war effort look hopeless. Blame the whole ting on Bush. Turn tail and run.

Were he a real Commander in Chief, he’d double down as Bush did in Iraq. He’d use the release of the papers to flog the Pakis into doing what he wanted. Besides didn’t he boast during the campaign that he’d go into Pakistan to kick @$$ if it were necessary to get bin Laden? Why yes I believe he did. Well, it seems P-BO has caught another car. But his bark is much, much worse than the bite. Sort of like all the @$$ kicking he did in the gulf oil spill.

The papers make it clear that the Paki intell service is pretty much complicit in the killing of US troops and may be harboring bin Laden. The papers would provide all the cover necessary to start some cross border covert ops. The kind were the Paki intell chiefs start getting blown up one at time until things change. I doubt he has the stomach for an expansion of the war. So the purpose of the release is to provide cover for a cut and run pull out.

He will lament the pull out but blame Bush for leaving things in such chaos that retreat is the only sane thing to do.
