Transformation, Afpak paradigm stuck.

Transformation, Afpak paradigm stuck.

Paradigm Intel.

SOCOM is stuck, the Afpak paradigm is stuck,

The Paradigm wheels just aren't getting Traction.

The elements are in place, building the Miliatary

Force , developing the SYSADMIN force.

But the transformation isn't taking place.

The War fighting component is caught in a

"Catch 22" cycle.

The more Taliban they kill the more join.

The US Military has curtailed killing the

enemy, the Taliban KIA could be 10X

what it is now, the Military now .have that

capability.

They have unmanned drones in Afpak,

piloted by troops in Las Vegas, looking

one person half a world away, to kill

him with a missile. Time between spoting

the target and killing him 8 min.

The Military and CIA are targeting mostly

the Taliban leadership and only 'attacking forces'.

Those actively engaged in attacks on US troops.

If the Taliban are at home, not engaged

in attacking US Troops at the moment,

USA doesn't kill them.

The Paradigm indicates killing rank and file

Taliban actually increases voluntary recruits.

H. Clinton put her finger on the problem.

She said "We are not getting through".

Afpak does not understand what USA is

doing in Afpak.

The Taliban and al Qaeda spin US motives

constantly, and in the worst directions.

The Transition from War fighting forces to Peace

keeping Troops isn't clearly defined,

And the transition is stuck.

The war fighting isn't over, and the Peace keeping

civilians can't be brought in to connect the Country

to the core, or build up the infrastructure until

security is established.

And currently it is believed the war fighting can't

be completed until the infrastructure is built up.

To help win the hearts and minds.

And thats the Catch 22.

UN reduces staff in NW Pakistan out of insecurity

The element/ monkey wrench in the system

is the Info War failure.

"We are not getting through". Clinton.

The average Afpak doesn't GET it.

The USA message isn't getting through.

And as long as that is the case the Taliban

will always have lots of volunteers,

Replacements.

The Taliban and al Qaeda are ahead in the

Info War, they are indigenous and completely

understand the lines and methods of communication.

And are effectively spinning USA motives and actions

against the USA.

The Info War View from the Other :

How bad it is; A must READ:

The transition from war fighting

to peace keeping won't / can't

happen until the Info war is truned around.

The Indigenous must "GET US" before

the war fighting can end and the Peace

keeping can start.

Loosing the Info WAr:

The USA Info War must shift to a new paradigm.

Find the Michael Moore of Afpak, start with

a set of facts everyone agrees to, and produce a

movie in Pashtun, distribute all over Afpak.

Start an Abbot and Costello as al Qweda

FM radio show and broadcast it weekly all over

Afpak in 3 or 4 indigenous languages.

Info War will spread d be more effective

if its GOOD entrainment.

In Afpak the USA Info War doesn't even have to

WIN the hearts and minds, just expose the

lies of the Terrorist, and help them "GET"

USA, motives, etc.

That has the potential to cut down the

Taliban volunteers and give attrition

of leadership a chance to work.

Some Info War oil will help the Transition

slide into place.

The Army and CIA need to coordinate their

paradigms, Army counter insurgency in Afgha

and the CIA counter terrorism in Paki.

So they are working towards same goal.
