General McChrystal is taking a page from Petraeus and creating a jobs program for Taliban fighters who want to reintegrate themselves into Afghan society. Turns out a lot of the Taliban fighters are just in it for the money. I can't hyperlink on the comments, just google "Afghan promises to insurgents often empty" and it'll show a story from WaPo. The success of the program is dependent on the ability of US forces to keep their promise.DJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18145869409532668165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048616928367391002.post-52740747862820294232009-12-11T16:13:55.008-08:002009-12-11T16:13:55.008-08:00Jeff, talk about a circle jerk, Chris' blog is...Jeff, talk about a circle jerk, Chris' blog is the biggest circle jerk I've ever seen.<br /><br />This blog represents the mainstream of America.

You are a far left fringe here. Chris' blog is a lot more lively and less of a circle jerk like this blog.Jeffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048616928367391002.post-48391201126361166622009-12-11T05:08:18.890-08:002009-12-11T05:08:18.890-08:00yagmur - my understanding is Methane is the big is...yagmur - my understanding is Methane is the big issue with cows. What the climate denyers are missing is the fact that our burning of fossil fuels is creating an imbalance that mother earth cannot deal with - without catostrophic consequences to us. They are incapable of connecting the dots.vomamikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08771110324011697887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048616928367391002.post-90109442407656686622009-12-09T03:55:31.976-08:002009-12-09T03:55:31.976-08:00And how did that work out for the Russians?
