Our Decadent Ally Italy

Afghanistan has been "managed" by NATO--our president lauds this approach (only he guts NATO--he'll depend on the powder-blue UN in future, riiight) Via Fausta:

French troops were killed after Italy hushed up ‘bribes’ to Taleban

in the months before the French soldiers arrived in mid-2008, the Italian secret service had been paying tens of thousands of dollars to Taleban commanders and local warlords to keep the area quiet, The Times has learnt. The clandestine payments, whose existence was hidden from the incoming French forces, were disclosed by Western military officials.

Read on. What this illustrates is only America can be trusted to do the job. And if America will no longer do it, led by a foolish president, more will be slaughtered.

What happens when they want more protection money? A world of warlords. Stick em up.

More. Meanwhile a nuclear Pakistan is under attack, Iran goes on to develop nukes, and Russia holds Europe hostage on energy, with the acquiescence of our President Barack Obama. Making the world safe for warlords.
