“Bite Me” back on the ninja kick

Joe “Bite Me” Biden is back to pushing for his zombie ninja robots taking over the war in Afghanistan according to the LA Times;

The [Special Forces] operations have been most effective in and around the southern city of Kandahar and in eastern Afghanistan, according to American military officials, who requested anonymity in discussing information that had not been released publicly, and outside analysts. Already, they said, there are signs in these areas that roadside bomb attacks have decreased and the Taliban control is weakening, as senior leaders are killed or captured.

A successful effort would support the contention made by Vice President Joe Biden and other administration officials who are skeptical of the military strategy in Afghanistan: Special operations troops, with their small footprint and skill at tracking and killing the enemy, can be more effective than conventional forces in the difficult conflict the U.S. faces in that country.

Biden has argued for shrinking the U.S. effort and relying largely on special operations troops and airstrikes to disrupt the Taliban and Al Qaeda, officials say.

Funny thing about war; the more you look at one aspect and disregard all of the other things going on, the more you think you have an answer to the entire battlefield. That’s Bite Me’s problem right now. He’s totally discounted all of the conventional forces as a part of the battle because of the Special Forces’ successes.

Of course, he’s discounted the fact that the enemy is forced to operate in smaller groups because of conventional columns – smaller groups that the Special Forces are more suited to operate against. The enemy is also degraded by having to defend and protect themselves from larger conventional units.

Bite Me, the smartest man alive, who has never gotten a policy decision right, should leave life and death decisions for the military to the military and stop being such a know-it-all dickweed and stick to boring Americans in to unconsciousness.
