Gates: Obama “lost faith” in Afghanistan policy

Robert Gates claims Obama was “skeptical, if not outright convinced it would fail.”

As usual. Men in Power waits till they have become powerless to tell the truth. Men like Robert Gates.
As usual. Men in power waits till they have become powerless, before they tell the truth. Men like Robert Gates.

A new book by former U.S. defense secretary Robert Gates harshly criticizes President Obama’s Afghanistan war policy, saying the president “eventually lost faith in the troop increase he ordered,” and that Obama was “skeptical, if not outright convinced it would fail.”

Excerpts of the book, Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary of War, were published late Tuesday in the New York Times and the Washington Post.

Gates, a Republican, served as defense secretary in both the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations, from 2006 to 2011. After a request from Obama that he stay on the job, he agreed to do so.

But he says he soon came into conflict with the president, the vice president and the White House national security staff over Afghanistan policy.  Gates writes that he never “doubted  Obama’s support for the troops, only his support for their mission.”

In an excerpt published in the New York Times, Gates writes that Obama questioned the abilities of his commander on the ground in Afghanistan, General David Petraeus, and expressed doubts about whether he could work with Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

“As I sat there, I thought the president doesn’t trust his commander, can’t stand Karzai, doesn’t believe in his own strategy, and doesn’t consider the war to be his.”  For him it’s all about getting out,” Gates is quoted as saying.

My comment:

First: A couple of trillion USD has been wasted.

Second: Why is it so difficult for Americans to say it loud: – Obama is a Muslim…

Obviously, it pains his heart when America “harms” Muslim nations like Afghanistan.

Obama is definitely not a man of faith in the mission of fighting Islamic terrorism. Obama rather consider Islam as a religion of peace, and a suitable spiritual partner for the American people. Obama claims he fights “extremism”. And in Obama’s world, the most extreme, are those who say Islam is a wicked and violent ideology.  If you tell the truth, you are branded as a man of “Islamofobia”.

Third: To fight a war your are planning to loose is not a smart chess play. It is in all ways a betrayal of all the victims of a war that should never have been started in the first place.

Robert Gates should have told us the truth while he was still US Secretary of Defense. So that honest people could have got Barack Hussein Obama impeached. The present commander in chief should have been removed from the White House, and allotted a prison cell, persecuted and imprisoned for high treason.  The lost war in Afghanistan, only one of the reasons for Obama’s lock up.

Kerry wants to flush Israel with “Arab refugees”

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry proposed to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas the return of 80,000 Palestinian refugees to Israel.

John Kerry front the Saudi Arabian narrative of the formation of Israel.
John Kerry front the Saudi Arabian narrative to the formation of Israel, a falsification of history supported by the PLO and the Arab League.

This is acceding to a senior official of the Palestinian government, who told this to Xinhua on Monday.

Kerry’s proposal was part of his ideas presented to the Palestinian side to reach a framework peace agreement.

“Kerry’s proposal on the return of refugees is the same proposal offered by former U.S. President Bill Clinton during Camp David peace talks held in the United States in 2000,” said the official.

During their meetings, Abbas wanted to increase the number of Palestinian refugees returning to Israel to 200,000, and the demand is still under discussion with Kerry.

As for the issue of Jerusalem, the official said, “Kerry’s recent ideas focus on handing over parts of Jerusalem to the Palestinian Authority and that Jordan will have the jurisdiction on holy sites and places in the city.” However, Israel still refuses to recognize east Jerusalem as the capital of the future Palestinian state, and insists that Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the State of Israel, according to the source.

He added that “gaps are still wide concerning the permanent status issues of the refugees, Jerusalem, borders, settlements and the Jewish state.”

My comment:

Kerry’s demand on the the state of Israel to accept “Arab refugees” is worth noticing. The Obama Administration has adopted the Islamic narrative of history, with Saudi Arabia as one of the major stake holders.

The Arabian lies told about the formation of Israel have been told a million times. But they are still lies.

When Israel was established  in 1948, David Ben Gurion appealed to the residing Arabs to help the Jews to build the Jewish homeland, and accept Israeli citizenship. There are today 2 million Arabs with full Israeli citizenship. They are Israeli Arabs.

Some Arabs, who left their villages to fight with the Arabian forces, in a bid to destroy the new born Zionist state, have absolutely no right to return. If the Arab nations were honest, they would have granted some thousand of their their co-fighters citizenship in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan or Egypt. Today, there are millions of Arabs who claimed they “lived inside Israel before 1948”, and demand a key to a modern flat in Israel.

The Islamic evils and curses raised against Israel in the years 1948-1952 were massive.

Because of the Arab violent opposition to the formation of the state of Israel, 750.000 Jews become refugees. They were forced out of every Arab and Persian nation, and were robbed of their money and properties. Before a single Arab is permitted to “return to Israel”, the Jewish refugees and victims of crimes against humanity, should be compensated for their losses.

Main sticking point in “framework deal”: 1967 borders

Framework deal could refer to “1967” without the word “borders”. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry expected to return to Israel next week.

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro: Nine-month negotiating window could be extended.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry may have just left Israel this past Monday, but it is already expected that he will return next week as part of his continuing effort to achieve a “framework agreement” between Israel and the Palestinians.

The main remaining point of contention regarding a framework deal is how the 1967 borders will be referred to in it. The Palestinians are demanding that the agreement declare that the peace negotiations will be based on the 1967 borders, while Israel opposes such a declaration.

For its part, the U.S. is interested in the deal including a clause referring to the 1967 borders with land swaps, explaining that this has been “the consistent American position” over the past two decades of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, as evidenced by various past negotiation documents.

One possibility is that the framework deal will refer to “1967” without the word “borders.” Such a solution would be similar to the one included in the “Roadmap for Peace” signed in April 2003 by then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

The wording of the clause would be along the lines of —

“The goal is to end the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian population that began in 1967, while understanding and taking into account changes that have occurred on the ground.”
In essence, a declaration like this would preserve Israel’s right to the Jerusalem region and settlement blocs.

My comment:

Is it possible to sign a “peace agreement” between an existing state and a wanabee statehood mentioning “1967′, but remove the word borders?

Possible, but than you must include something about the weather. Or what about the Beatles?

The album “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” was released in June 1967.

What a wonderful coincidence.

Be aware than all nations needs borders. The eastern border of Israel must always go long the Jordan river. And by the way: There has never been a “Palestinian people”. They are all Arabs.
