NSN Daily Update 5/5/2009 Posted by The National Security Network

See today's complete daily update here.

What We’re Reading

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Adm. Mike Mullen said that Afghanistan is the U.S. military’s main effort and top focus.  CNN interviewed Afghan Taliban spokesperson Zabiullah Mujahid.  Jalrez Valley proves a good test case for the influx of U.S. forces into Afghanistan.  Hamid Karzai seeks a U.S. civilian surge in Afghanistan, which may be beyond U.S. capabilities.

The Taliban tightens its hold in Swat valley, as fighting resumes and civilians flee.  The U.S. is warily encouraged by Pakistan’s efforts against the Taliban near Islamabad.  Pakistan’s porous border poses immense challenges for the U.S.  The LA Times asks what the Pakistani people would tell President Obama.

Georgian troops mutinied at a base near the capitol, but the uprising was contained.  Georgia accused Russia of being behind the mutiny as a coup attempt.  NATO military exercises in the region are scheduled to begin tomorrow, ratcheting up tensions.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei publicly rebuked President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for dismissing an official.

Commentary of the Day

Ahmed Rashid discusses the importance of Pakistan’s “critical hour.”

Gideon Rachman says President Obama’s apologies for past U.S. actions are a sign of strength, not a weakness as U.S. conservatives have argued.

Former Secretaries of State Madeleine Albright and Colin Powell urge President Obama and Congress not to forget about the importance of foreign aid.

Well then if the Taliban will never be defeated then screw them and fuck the war in afgansitan is the dumbasses over there don't give a fuck about getting rid of the terrorists they have and all we do is prolong this nonsense then why bother, GET US THE FUCK OUT OBAMA attempt to at least keep one of your promises. MAKE THOSE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT. After 8year they are still fucking the enemy, for fucks sake! How long are the United States of Americka going to be enablers?

[JohnRJ08]

Yeah, that would be real smart. Just leave those "dumbasses" to themselves. Just like we did during the 1990's, when Osama Bin Laden was using Afghanistan as a training camp for his global jihad and planning nifty little pranks like September 11th. How long are we going to be there? Obviously, we're going to be there until the Taliban is toast. Leaving before then would be a dumbass thing to do, not to mention suicidal.
