Dexter Filkins / New York Times: As Afghans Resist Taliban, U.S. Spurs Rise of Militias

ACHIN, Afghanistan — American and Afghan officials have begun helping a number of anti-Taliban militias that have independently taken up arms against insurgents in several parts of Afghanistan, prompting hopes of a large-scale tribal rebellion against the Taliban. [...]

And that is exactly why we need the 60,000 Troops - additional Troops - that General McChrystal asked for back in August.

Tribes fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan

From February 2008: The Anbar Awakening Tipping Point.  This was the tipping point in Iraq which the Democrats and the Democrats In Drag hated.  Why?  Because we began to kick AQ's arse all over Iraq.  This is The Why we need the additional 60,000 Troops in Afghanistan, Obama, you moron.  However, the fool cannot because we just might win in Afghanistan and then there goes his pathetic base.  Can't you just see the Impeach Obama signs all over Berzerkely?

[...] It will take something just like this across much of the country, but it is exactly what Gen. McChrystal's plan calls for facilitating. What these tribes need now is our help ensuring they do not get rolled over by a Taliban push back. We need to give them air support, weapons, and yes satchels of cash to use as they see fit. We must tread lightly so as not to upset the local nature of these uprisings, but we must cover their backs. Then as we talk to tribal leaders in other areas we can point to these successes and give them some motivation. [...]

And there you have it.  However, Leading Dem Says Winning In Afghanistan Will Require Increase in Taxes.  Ain't that just GRAND?  Democrats.  All taxaholic morons.  Cutting funding and raising taxes.  Sounds "Rather" bizarre to me.

Afghanistan.  Do we win or do we lose?
