There was never doubt the moment General Stanley McChrystal flatly told President Obama last summer that the US must deploy up to 45,000 more troops in Afghanistan that´d he heed his command. The Pentagon had officially spoken through McChrystal. With the rare exception of JFK´s pushback against the generals during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, when the Pentagon speaks presidents listen. It´s been a costly listen. Vietnam, Somalia, Lebanon, Iraq, and now Afghanistan has cost countless America lives, squandered billions, frayed relations with the European allies, and reinforced the US´s global reputation as a swaggering, bombs and bullets first bully. Afghanistan is no exception.

The present disarray in Palestinian politics is causing great dismay. Fatah prisoners in Israeli jails suggest that for the time that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas remains in office -- after his recent decision (1) not to run in the next elections he decreed for 24 January and (2) to cancel the elections -- he should continue to work to help find a solution to present to his people. Fatah leader Qaddura Fares, said Saturday in Ramallah the de facto Palestinian West Bank's capital city) that "We do not elect leaders to serve only in good times, or when things are going well ... They must also be leaders in bad times, and when thing are not going so well".

Instead, after the Al-Shabab´s capture of Kismayo, Hizbul Islam´s leader, Sheikh Aweys, gave simple interview to BBC Somali Service shunting aside the real questions as if he were a hostage; these days Sheikh Aweys seems to have stopped being prolific with his usual political propaganda against the West, the Somalia´s Transitional Federal Government and the African Union Peacekeepers in Somalia.
