War on terrorism could last decades, army chief says

And our military minds are preparing our troops for the long haul apparently:

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico: The U.S. Army’s chief of staff said Sunday that he believes the ideological struggle against Muslim extremism being waged by the United States and its allies will last for decades.

Gen. George Casey made the remarks at the 129th National Guard Association of the United States conference at San Juan’s convention center, after a military chaplain asked Casey what victory would look like.

“Frankly, it’s not going to be won until Muslim moderates achieve success over Muslim extremists,” Casey told hundreds of National Guard representatives from all over the United States. “It’s going to be an ideological struggle that I think is going to play out over the next several decades, much like the Cold War.”

General George is so full of shit, his eyes better be brown. A Cold War isn’t a real war where people get maimed, die and suffer from the effects of PTSD for the rest of their natural lives. Oh, and he also pushes King George’s bullshit spin too:

The Army’s job in Iraq and Afghanistan is to help keep extremists groups from prevailing in the Middle East and from attacking America, he said.

You know the line, say it with me now..kill them over there so they don’t follow us home and attack us over here. Christ, wotta load of bullshit.
