Change of Strategy and Commander

Change of Strategy and Commander

“I think we are in a dire situation on the brink of failure.  What’s needed is a whole new strategy that focuses more on air attacks, rather than a ground war of attrition.  And for that we probably need fresh reinforcements, and a new field commander.   But enough about the Washington Redskins….“
– Jamie McIntyre, in interview with Gary Nurenburg, WUSA-TV, October 21, 2009

Some people didn’t get the joke, so I am adding this visual clue that this was an attempt at humor…

Military Solution to Afghanistan Improbable — Pajhwok Afghan News published this editorial about Invincible Defense Technology by Maj. Gen. Singh, US Army Col. Brian Rees and myself as a “Feature Story.” We argue that a traditional military solution will not work in Afghanistan and US Army Lt. Gen. Stanley McChrystal should deploy a Prevention Wing of the Military to quickly end the war. See:

Brett!.……Brett!.…..Brett!…Brett!..Brett!..Brett!.Brett!Brett!

Yes and would it not be funny if Brett threw four interceptions in the third quarter? It might make people in Green
Bay wonder who Brett really works for.

Jamie,
You are right with your analogy. These wars like football have a huge following of armchair and Monday morning quarterbacks.

Curt Kastens November 16th, 2009 at 8:04 pm

Yes and some of the Monday Morning Armchair quarterbacks would have called a better play than the real offensive coordinator, coach, and quarterback. Just look at what a great job the owner of Washington does.
I rest my case. Now I can resist in peace.

Duh? Its Monday morning, the game was yesterday. Its easy to see mistakes and correct them after they are made.
