Pete Sessions (R-TX) has just about lost his mind with the Democratic controlled legislature in calling for an understanding of insurgency. In an hour long interview he stated:

“And that is that they went about systematically understanding how to disrupt and change a person’s entire processes. And these Taliban — I’m not trying to say the Republican Party is the Taliban. No, that’s not what we’re saying. I’m saying an example of how you go about [sic] is to change a person from their messaging to their operations to their frontline message. And we need to understand that insurgency may be required when the other side, the House leadership, does not follow the same commands, which we entered the game with.”

Now, don’t get me wrong but did we not go into Afghanistan to 1) fight Al-Queda and 2) to take the Taliban out of power because of their horrendous restrictions they placed upon their own people. I can take the whining of Rep. Sessions with a grain of salt as they are dealing with a brand new President that is not of the Republican Party and losing the majority to the Democratic Party. But to insinuate that they need to take on the role of insurgents is disgusting.

“I simply said one can see that there’s a model out there for insurgency,” Sessions said before being interrupted by an aide.

This aide went on to say that the statement is that the now minority party can change its ways to develop a strategy for the upcoming 2010 elections.

Instead of looking to insurgency as a way to change the face of government why don’t Sessions take a good look at what has worked before and use those same tactics instead of bringing up a bad vibe from the use of strong-arm tactics?
