obama declares that he has no staying power in afghanistan. then bad things start happening, as the jihadis figure the guy has no cojones. i haven't looked at this carefully, but what is the tally of serious attacks on the US and its interests in a) each one of the bush years post 2001, b) in obama's sole year in power. i bet we'll see that there is a massive increase in the latter
consider:
1. the christmas day northwest airline attack
2. the new year's eve attack that wipes out US hum-int in khost. this is a serious setback, matched only the wipeout of 8 CIA officers in beirut some years ago (incidentally also by jihadis)
the portents are ominous. we ain't in kansas no more, dorothy.

This is what the american/british imperialists get for playing with fire. They initially supported the radical muslims against the turks, then in pakistan, then in iran, in afghanistan, etc. It turns out that the radical muslims are harder to control than they had originally thought. The irony of it all is that they initially wanted to ally with the radical muslims against russia and china. LOL Even after taking down saddam's (relatively) secular government, other muslim nations still prefer to ally with russia (in the case of iran) and china (in the case of pakistan). Just one strategic blunder after another, a symptom of empire decline.
