It looks like the Danes are considering pulling their armed forces out of Afghanistan, stating it's a meaningless war. "As far as I am concerned the perspectives are chilling, because it is increasingly difficult to explain to relatives why their sons have to offer their lives. We should have a clear exit strategy."
That was the clear statement from the Chairman of the Danish Officers Association Commander Bent Fabricius who said in Jyllands-Posten that he wishes to 'question the entire project' - a statement supported by the chairmen of the organisations of both NCOs and Privates.
The remarkable statements came the day after several Danish politicians acknowledged the fact that the goal of democracy in Afghanistan is no longer credible - instead pointing to the War on Terror.
Former assistant of the US treasury dispels the myth the US will be any different under Obama. He states "Obama has escalated war in Afghanistan; started a new war in Pakistan; tolerated or supported a military coup that overthrew the elected president of Honduras; is constructing 7 new US military bases in Colombia, South America; is going forward with various military projects designed to secure US global military hegemony, such as the Prompt Global Strike initiative that intends to provide the US with the capability to strike anywhere on earth within 60 minutes; is working to destabilize the government in Iran, with military attack still on the table as an option; supports America's new military African Command; intends to encircle Russia with US bases in former constituent parts of the Soviet Union; has suborned NATO troops as mercenaries in US wars of aggression."
"How should Europe react? Europe should disassociate from the United States and go into active opposition to US foreign policy. Europeans should demand that their governments withdraw from NATO as it serves no European interest. The two aggressive militarist powers, the US and Israel, should be sanctioned by the UN and embargoed. Instead, Europe is complicit in US and Israeli war crimes"
