McChrystal's Appointment Increases Chance of Getting Bin Laden, Sources Say

JSOC and Osama Bin Laden
My advice to our men in the JSOC is to capture him alive if at all possible, then secretly interrogate him to get as much information about Alcaida and related terrorist groups, using 3,000 plus torture methods, each one for everyone of the 3,000 plus American Citizens who died on the 2 Towers on 9/11 and on the plane crashes.
Second, keep him alive for several months, then finally decapitate him like they did the Wall Street Journal reporter John Perlman (this for our brothers-in-arms, the Israelites).
Third, secretly put the decapitation on the Internet on Islamic Jihad websites, so as to bring other Jihadists into the open, to interrogate-kill them too at JSOC's leisure.
First step in winning the respect of the Afghans
The first step in winning the respect of the Afghan people is to pronounce Afghanistan correctly; not like most Americans say it, but like Afghan President Karzai does, and like C. Amanpore and Rafiq Zakaria on CNN and the BBC reporters do. The second step is to win the hearts of the local priests (Mullahs) by rebuilding their mosques damaged in the last two decades of war. Then only will we see the tide of this war turning in favor of democratic reform. However brilliant a tactician General McChrystal is, this is not solely a military campaign. It is a campaign to win the respect and love of the Afghan people. We have to win the general population over to our point of view, and this is done by communicating like they do. Unless we win their respect, someday we will have to withdraw in disgrace like the Russian Army did in the 1980s.
Bin Laden
McChrystal is a good man - But is Bin Laden still Alive?
His releases since the fall of Iraq, could all have been pre-recorded before his death, so that it appears to be the real bin laden, and it is, it is just not a for sure, alive, bin Laden.
But if McChrystal brings him in (Dead or Alive) he will go down as one of the best insurgent tacticians in Military History.
boy crazy
it's articles like these that make me resent being born a woman.
i pray for mccrystal and for all soldiers and civillians caught in the crossfire of this monsterous fight for freedom.
hopefully soon we will have peace on earth.
I'm sorry
I thought it was the Sunni Awakening movement. Not to take anything away from McChrystal, I'm sure he's a fine soldier.
Perhaps no one has explained to him the reason we haven't killed or captured bin Laden, is that it's politically useful to have a "bogeyman" out there. Bin Laden provides an excuse, plain and simple. From an operational standpoint, he's been neutralized.
Now, as long as he breathes and is on the run (or is popularly believed to be out there somewhere), he essentially works for us. He provides an excuse for our actions, wherever or whatever they may be.
Bin Laden
The boogey man has been dead since 2001 you morons!!
And some people thought
Obama would not be capable as a Commander in Chief. Sounds to me like he knows a tough general when he sees one.
We're about six years overdue for a predator strike on top of Bin Laden's head.
I would bet it will happen on Obama's watch, and it would be a more striking message to the world if it occurs inside Pakistan.
Results from No Drama Obama? Likely.
