He said the U.S. will do all it can to regain the trust of the Afghan people. <br /><br />+++++++<br /><br />That last line by McChrystal is pretty damn funny if you have a really dark sense of humor. He really should have said that the US will do all it can to bomb the shit out of innocents again, asap. And it is not "heartbreaking" in his sociopath eyes - it is inevitable and he could not give a shit honestly. The blood-sucking, blood-loving Americans will eat it up! Those war-supporting Americans can never get enough, as long as they can cheer it all on from the safe little homes!Dancewaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16733269960341895623noreply@blogger.com
