Taliban release SUPPOSED video of captured U.S. soldier

Video of the report from ABC

Taliban release video of captured U.S. soldier - Afghanistan- msnbc.com: "WASHINGTON - The Taliban released a video Wednesday of a man identified as an American soldier captured in Afghanistan last June, showing him pleading for his freedom and to be returned home.

In the video, Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl says he wants to return to his family in Idaho and that the war in Afghanistan is not worth the number of lives that have been lost or wasted in prison. It is the first he has been seen since the Taliban released a video of him on Christmas Day.

The seven-minute video of Bergdahl shows him sporting a beard and doing a few push-ups to demonstrate he's in good physical condition. There was no way to verify when the footage was taken or if he is still alive."

*****************************

Can anyone out there tell me why in this day and age why our soldiers are not embedded with chips so that they can be tracked down by satellite when taken hostage like this??

I've never gotten a good answer from anyone on this when I've inquired as to why the world's most advanced military doesn't have a toenail chip or something embedded in all their soldier's bodies that can lead rescuers right to their location? Other than the obvious privacy objections it could be removed once out of the war theatre and the soldier should have a choice, want it  or no? That simple.

Call me crazy but is that not the easiest and smartest way to insure that soldiers taken captive are found within minutes of being abducted, literally minutes, which is when rescuers want to strike, as these events are usually unorganized and these terrorists are winging it" when they have a US or Israeli soldier fall in their laps as many do.

This soldier, Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl ,  has been missing since last June, and now they come with this video saying "oh look he do pushup on camera, he very healthy" and the government and families are supposed to believe he's still alive? 

I pray and hope to God he is, but with these animals they probably made a couple tapes over a couple weeks and killed him last year. They're too poor and too stupid to take care of hostages for a year, sorry to be cold about it but it's true. That costs money that most of these freelancing jihadders just don't have.

But if he were micro-chipped perhaps he'd be alive today along with the other hostages, Nick Berg, Paul Johnson and others that have been captured and butchered like animals, by animals. 

There must be a reason because I can't be the first person to think of this I would hope and pray.

Ex-U.N. envoy: Karzai may have drug problem - Shocker, Not.

His brother 's an Opium Lord out there, gee I think he's a "solid" partner out there looking out for his people. lol...my ass he is and has been robbing us blind from the start. The Muslim world is so corrupt they make our congress look like Brownies.

I wrote earlier what a screw up this man is and what they should do with him, especially now that someone's ratted him out and confirmed what I thought and said about him earlier on numerous occasions. And I'll be right about Obama too, who will be the next one we hear about from disgruntled throwaway staff member.

This video here is of the man who says Karzai is Nutso and stoned all the time fromt he UN so who knows how believable he is although on the face I believe it. Particularly after the anti US crap that came from his mouth the other day. Again I raged on that earlier at my other blog before this story came out later today...

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Ex-U.N. envoy: Karzai may have drug problem - Afghanistan- msnbc.com: "NEW YORK - A former U.N envoy to Afghanistan on Tuesday questioned the 'mental stability' of Hamid Karzai and suggested the Afghan president may be using drugs.

In an interview on MSNBC's 'The Daily Rundown,' Peter Galbraith described Karzai as 'off-balance' and 'emotional.' Galbraith also called for President Barack Obama to vastly limit Karzai’s power to appoint officials within the war-torn country until he proves himself a reliable partner to the U.S.

'He’s prone to tirades. He can be very emotional, act impulsively. In fact, some of the palace insiders say that he has a certain fondness for some of Afghanistan’s most profitable exports,' said Galbraith, in an apparent reference to opium or heroin." more

This is Rudy Giuliani and Gene Robinson ? I believe, who talk with Joe Scarborough about Drug Addict Karzai and what the hell we're supposed to tell people who are over there dying that this Muslim asshole says he's gonna join up with the Taliban.

Karzai gets an earful in town seized from Taliban (A Taliban Town Hall, Say That 5 Times Fast Before Suicide Bomb Blows)

Kabooom!  Too late.. :(

Even the people in Afghanistan are learning democracy better than a gaggle of San Fran Freako Liberals can manage, as they unloaded on their crooked leader Hamid Karzai (our hand picked scum) at local town hall meetings, or town "hut" meetings I guess they call 'em over there.....

Something tells me security is pretty tough to deal with when everyone is pissed off,  looks the same and is
either wearing turban's, burka's and or robes, ya know?

And we think (know) our leaders are full of shit, you can just imagine the bull Karzai is feeding these people ! I can hear it now:

"Yes, we will build more camel trough's, I very much promise! And more dung sweepers Too!  We will also rebuild every mosque blown up by our friends in the Taliban, we swear! And, those dumb Americans will give us the money so no opium harvest money will be wasted rebuilding"

That's probably a pretty accurate depiction of the conversations I would venture to guess.

Karzai gets an earful in town seized from Taliban - Yahoo! News: "MARJAH, Afghanistan – Elders in a former Taliban stronghold berated and challenged Afghanistan's president Sunday, delivering a litany of complaints about government corruption and NATO's military operations on the Afghan leader's first visit to Marjah.

President Hamid Karzai said that's exactly what he had come to hear.

'Today, I'm here to listen to you and hear your problems,' Karzai told about 300 men who sat shoulder to shoulder on the floor of a mosque in central Marjah.

Thousands of U.S., NATO and Afghan troops seized the town of 80,000 people from the Taliban this month in a three-week offensive seen as a major test of a new strategy to win over Afghans by routing insurgents from population centers, setting up an effective civilian government and rushing in aid.

On Sunday, many of the assembled elders said they wanted to side with the government, but that their experience so far made them skeptical.

They complained — sometimes shouting — about corruption among former Afghan government officials. They lamented how schools in Marjah were turned into military posts by international forces. They said shops were looted during the offensive, and alleged that innocent civilians were detained by international forces."  more

Shipping Out - Photos in the news

Very sad as 200 of the Vermont based Brigade Combat Team head to Afghanistan. It's time to let these men and women go all out and finish this so scenes like this can come to an end after a decade of this shit since 911.  . Stop tying their hands ....let them win, and bring them all home.

Religion Of Peace Alert: 8 Americans reported killed in Afghanistan

UPDATE: 7 am cdt / Turns out the totals are 8 Americans, 5 Canadians including an unknown number of  CIA agents,

AP source: CIA officers believed killed in attack: "WASHINGTON (AP) - A congressional official says CIA employees are believed to be among the dead in Wednesday's suicide bombing inside a base in eastern Afghanistan.

A former senior CIA officer who was stationed at the base said a combination of agency officers and contractors operated out of the remote outpost with the military and other agencies.

The CIA has not yet commented or confirmed the deaths.

The congressional official said it was not clear how many of the victims were assigned to the CIA.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter with the media.

U.S. officials said the attack occurred at Forward Operating Base Chapman in Khost province, killing eight American civilians and wounding others."

******** ORIGINAL POST FOLLOWS ********

Another attack on a US military base, this one in Afghanistan by a suicide bomber who claimed 8 civilian  lives today but no military personnel which was most likely not his intent.

So the new millennium Muslim Reign Of Terror continues practically unabated around the world, that is were it not for our brave military men and women over there, for the most part thanklessly fighting for their freedom from Islamic tyranny with very little noteworthy help from anyone in the direct neighborhood of this partially failed state we're rebuilding and destroying at the same time.

This is how they're paid back along with the almost always innocent civilian victims of the Jihadder's Cowardly indiscriminate suicide bombings.

8 Americans reported killed in Afghanistan - Afghanistan- msnbc.com: "KABUL - All of the eight Americans killed by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan Wednesday were civilians, and no U.S. or NATO troops were injured in the blast, a U.S. defense official said.

The attack took place at Forward Operating Base Chapman in Khost province, in eastern Afghanistan, said the official, who declined to be named. The New York Times was reporting that the bomber managed to elude security and reach the base's gym."

Al Qaeda's Zawahiri Says Obama of Trying to 'Enslave' Arab World ...ha ha ha (video)

Al Qaeda's Zawahiri Accuses Obama of Trying to 'Enslave' Arab World

FOXNews.com: "CAIRO — Al Qaeda's deputy leader on Monday accused President Barack Obama of deceiving the Arab world and failing to advance Middle East peace talks, and said the militants' struggle against the United States and its allies is 'a war between Muslims and infidels.'

In a new message posted on the Internet, Ayman Al-Zawahiri claimed Obama has brought the region nothing but 'blockade and siege' despite efforts to reach out to Arabs.

'Obama's plan, though wrapped in smiles and calls for respect and understanding, aims only to support Israel,' al-Zawahiri said in a 26-minute audio message.

Usama bin Laden's deputy has been critical of Obama since his election, even releasing a message that referred to the U.S. president as a 'house negro,' a slur for a black subservient to whites." continued

Someone tell this terrorist that the only US president who bows to Muslim Arab Kings isn't trying to enslave the Muslim world since....

(A) they haven't contributed anything to society besides violence since the beginning of the second millennium (The Muslim Accomplishments That Weren’t). 

So who in their "right mind" would want to conquer that hellhole over there, since the only thing of worth to come from there in a couple hundred years is the oil and most of it is now being consumed at an alarming rate with China hot on our heels, and will near depletion in the next 50 years, which will render them all and their sand land "entirely" useless, instead of "mostly" useless.

That is,  as long we don't have to nuke the region before then, which I predict we will. 

Right after Obama's policies lead to an American city being primitively nuked by Iranian armed terrorists most likely just as Clinton's policies lead to the planning and execution of WTC 1 in 1993 and 911 which was  again planned on Slick's party watch while executed obviously on Bush's..

In addition.....

(B) he's trying to enslave us you nut, might wanna to loosen that turban, as "why would anyone in this modern age enslave a bunch of people who contribute nothing but misery to the human condition", when he can try to enslave the people of America, who longer and harder and smarter than anyone ever has nor ever will.

Certainly harder than anyone from the back- assward,  medieval, Muslim world who come here to be schooled in the first place, something I still can't believe the government even allows after 911.

We're educating these people on how to make gobs of money and the ways of the west, which they in turn send back to the Mideast in the form of more money and all kinds of useful intelligence,  which is then in turn used back there to support their terror arms like Al Queda.

Groups doing all their "dirty work" so the educated ones, (the few and far in between), can take over countries all over  the 7 continents politically and mostly bloodlessly amazingly, albeit slowly but surely.

Exactly like they are attempting slowly but surely here in America attacking our culture (US senator Keith Ellison and his Koranic induction anyone along with a Muslim Kenyan born president is a damn good start )  and are nearing completion of the job in Britain and the rest of Eurabia which is the template for the US invasion which has been underway for decades from the south and the Mideast.

One thing the Muslim people have that the west doesn't, and that is patience.  So,  don't be fooled by the slow pace of the invasions, because Obama will make it easier for them to pick up the pace again, since they're emerging more often from their cowardly cave dwellings than they did after 911, when Bush stepped in  the thick of it over there with our brave men and women of war, and slowed them down for 7 years with a new and long overdue "mini crusade" I'd like to see continued as long as their violence against the "west" continues.

However, for the time being,  it's back to "full speed ahead" with the Muslim born  Kenyan Obama in office now...This is just an act by Zawahiri so people don't get the idea that Obama is "their man" which his post inauguration actions have proven beyond a reasonable persons doubt he is.

Now for some humor, Here are his latest remarks loosely translated ....   ;)

Hope you enjoyed that because this man isn't laughing, and hates our guts more than Obama hates capitalism.

As The World Waits On Obama & TOTUS West Point Appearance, Cheney Weighs In & Pundits Speculate....(video).

Some assorted videos from throughout today on the Afghanistan "Limited Obama Surge" starting with Dick Cheney and Obama "projecting weakness across the board" and his speech tonight is likely to be "Cut and Run" Camo.

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

The second one is Karl Rove, who I mostly appreciate because of the fact he, like Sarah Palin, really gets the far left foaming at the mouth alright and is correct as much as anyone else.




This final one comes from Fox as well and shows us some real contrast as the queen bee from Code Pink gives her 2 cents worth, as they are running ads decrying the Afghan war and all that usual bleeding heart crap we've all become accustomed to from that strange bunch, despite the fact that Obama and they themselves all claimed throughout the election and beyond that this was the "war that mattered, the good war".


In fact, as I said earlier, this is Obama trying to please everyone and pleasing no one,  and even this has to be disappointing if not outright angering to the troops in the field waiting for this anti-climactic moment to finally come.

Osama within reach, Obama Blaming Bush As Dithering FInally Ending? (videos)

Picture From "Obama Realism Faces Afghan Test"  Politico....

This first video comes from Fox's Colonel Hunt and Colonel Ralph Peters bantering about the story floating  today from no doubt the Obama administration that UBL was closer than previously revealed,  blaming Bush's missing OBL for him (Obama) now having to make this troop decision. Peters basically saying paraphrasing here.... "One that he's lallygagged on that's possibly cost soldiers' lives and the biggest thing he's ever decided as president, of which he's totally unprepared for and afraid to make obviously".

Granted Rumsfeld who I liked and some others screwed up much of this initial war effort aside from the record dash through Iraq initially in hindsight,  they also have a boatload of people at home here to blame for encouraging the enemy throughout the entire war, both of them.

This is nothing more than "this" administration reaching back into their  "Blame Bush" sack of goodies,  since they have no sack themselves and need a constant bogeyman to cover for Obama's troop bumbling (video)


This video is the Republicans talking about the cost of the Afghan war now that the Iraq war is actually winding down which is a great thing that the Bush administration accomplished while fighting a war on three fronts, Iraq Afghanistan and Elite liberal America..

Now Brit's criticise Barack Obama over Afghanistan - (One By One World Awakens From Obama KoolAid Detox)

There is a God as more and more people awaken to the biggest frauds ever perpetrated upon mankind, Barack Obama and Global Warming, not followed too far behind by Liberalism as "Dithering" now means one thing worldwide and one thing only...

and to think this man is the commander in Chief of the world's most humane and yet deadliest fighting force ever assembled in this universe EVER.  Sure isn't Churchill although he thinks he is, when he's not pretending to be FDR or Abraham Lincoln depending on who the audience is of course.

And he's managed to turn those highly trained forces like no other into a limp d*** in  a matter of months by his refusal to unleash them on his Muslim brethren that he seemingly was somehow put into office to protect....who says Middle Eastern un accounted for campaign millions can't buy everything?

They put him on office.......And now Britain who are still stinging from Obama the dipwad's cloddish gift giving to the Queen and Gordon Brown who loved Obama until that crap...

Seems like once these leaders meet him it's  kinda like "Oh Oh, I'm canceling this date, he's nothing like the ad sand facebook profile said he was!!!"  Ya know?

Bob Ainsworth criticises Barack Obama over Afghanistan - Telegraph: "Mr Ainsworth took the unprecedented step of publicly criticising the US President and his delays in sending more troops to bolster the mission against the Taliban.

A “period of hiatus” in Washington - and a lack of clear direction - had made it harder for ministers to persuade the British public to go on backing the Afghan mission in the face of a rising death toll, he said."

Senior British Government sources have become increasingly frustrated with Mr Obama’s “dithering” on Afghanistan, the Daily Telegraph disclosed earlier this month, with several former British defence chiefs echoing the concerns.

strain further a transatlantic relationship Photo: REUTERS

But Mr Ainsworth is the first Government minister to express in public what amounts to personal criticism of the US president’s leadership over the conflict which has so far cost 235 British lives.

Polls show most voters now want an early withdrawal, following the death of 98 British service personnel this year alone.

Ministers say the mission is vital to stop international terrorists using Afghanistan as a base, but Gordon Brown has promised an “exit strategy” that could start next year.

Army says morale down among troops in Afghanistan -(Gee, what a mystery)

Yahoo! News: "WASHINGTON – Morale has fallen among soldiers in Afghanistan, where troops are seeing record violence in the 8-year-old war, while those in Iraq show much improved mental health amid much lower violence, the Army said Friday. Soldier suicides in Iraq did not increase for the first time since 2004, according to a new study."  continued

 I mean we have Muslim infiltrators among their ranks and yet they can't come out and identify any problem soldiers for fear they will become the next vilified target of the lunatic fringe who spend more time cuddling with the enemy while literally extolling hatred for their fellow Americans they can't even display for a group of people who kill unmercifully only because we allow them to...

Wouldn't your moral suck under those kinds of conditions?

In fact I'm willing to bet you too suffer the same paradoxical situation in your place of employment or worship or what have you, as our country is being hijacked by PC and the enemies of the west right in front of our very eyes with little or no resistance remarkably.  This PC monster has grown so much that far too many fear they the messenger will be the next "massacre victim" of the liberals of our own country or the Muslim and Illegal Alien invasion taking place alongside it instead of vice versa, as would be the case were the world right side up at the moment, which it clearly is not..

This administration has completely lost control of the war against terror, and have singlehandedly taken the fight and heart right out of our very own soldiers for the second time in the middle of a war in a half century.... (only this time it's two wars and growing) and have also managed to have snatched defeat right from the jaws of victory once again under the  dismal leadership of a closet Muslim Socialist..

Only the "stupidest of the stuck on stupid" sic  could manage such a clusterfluck with the world's most lethal fighting force ever to grace the universe at their disposal, ready and able to dispatch any enemy on any battlefield on any continent,  except of course the "San Fran Freako Led Loonysphere" which has taken our own soldiers down time and time again and  again...

Obama Still Dithering As 8 More U.S. soldiers killed in AfghanistanToday, October Deadliest Month EVER

Now that strategies which were supposedly being discussed which consisted of either increasing troop levels by another 45,000 men and women, or just 15,000, were leaked to the press,  the insurgent cave and hut dwelling Talibanner's in Afghanistan are ratcheting up their attacks to cause some "made for tv chaos" just like happened in Iraq over and over




If only Barack Obama payed attention (back then during the campaign in Iraq as he was crying that the "Surge", which he was dead set against, would never work),  to what was going on there instead of traveling coast to coast lying his a** off at anyone and everyone that would listen during the election season he wouldn't have to stall now, as he's probably JUST NOW studying and cramming up on the Afghan War subject since he's the one and only person who's got to sign his name to it now, unlike all those empty promises he's used to making without ever having to deliver squat diddly in return.

It's a lot easier running a war when (A) your a backbench Senator who's running for president with no executive experience who has nothing to lose, and (B) you can travel around the campaign trail for 2 years  blaming George Bush for everything. A man who by the way looks like George Washington crossing the Delaware compared to Obama as the Commander in Chief. And I'm sure the military would agree.

Those days are long over starting now and that's why he can't make up his mind, he's never made a decision this big before with these fighting men and women's lives possibly hanging in the balance as president of the United States..obviously only 43 other people ever have, and he certainly doesn't warrant being mentioned in the same breath with those few and proud who have earned the right to make those decisions with some authority yet, if ever the way he's going.

I don't know about you, but I still can hear him saying "Afghanistan is the war of necessity and Iraq a War of choice".... So he's certainly had an awful long time to be thinking about this, but instead has been playing golf more than any president in recent history if ever as we said yesterday in a post of it's own, in addition to wearing out Air Force One for any little reason they can come up with to take her for a spin....like Broadway shows and birthday parties, you remember those I'm sure.

I mean seriously, how difficult of a decision is it to simply ratchet it up a notch or two and turn our killer, kick ass, take no prisoners Military loose on these pain in the ass people for once, instead of demanding they fight with ridiculous rules of engagement, and have em mop that place up in a couple months once and for all?

Every major military power in the world has been gobbled up and defeated in that mountainous hellhole, and it's time to change that tune forever.   That's where all this crap with Bin Laden actually started in the first place 20 some years ago, arming him and his animals against Russia I hate to admit.

This is Drudge's page at 8 pm cst 10/27, exactly when this post I wrote earlier was posted here on the net.

If only the damn politicians would get the hell out of the way, and let these brave men and women do what they do best in the world, that being "Kicking the enemy's tails from here to kingdom come  when their hands aren't tied behind their backs, and  they'd all be home by next summer.

All of them.They outnumber the Taliban there 12 soldiers to one from lord's sake.

Turn em loose. The enemy smells blood because they can also smell the weakness emanating from the White House and Washington in general...time to put a stop to that thinking, but the chance of that is slim and none with this yellow bellied group assembled in DC right now, not one single Hawk to speak of in the whole group, not a one..

And the terrorists there know it if I do..

CNN.com: "Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- The U.S. military suffered another day of heavy losses in Afghanistan on Tuesday as roadside bombs killed eight soldiers, two military officials told CNN.

An Afghan civilian working with NATO troops also was killed in the attacks in southern Afghanistan, the military said. The officials said that, according to initial reports, one blast took place just outside Kandahar and the other was in neighboring Zabul province."  more

Obama Dithers, Meanwhile Afghan helicopter crashes kill 14 Americans

The deadliest weekend of the 8 year long Afghan war now belongs to president Obama. I wonder why the MSM doesn't celebrate that milestone with glee like they did every time troop deaths reached a round number with president Bush in office.

Dick Cheney couldn't be more right as Obama plays golf yesterday (few posts down) 14 more Americans are killed in separate chopper crashes in Afghanistan, which certainly won't be good for an already damaged military morale, as they see their sad  commander in cheat bumbling around the world picking up awards for things he hasn't done yet while they wait for his decision on their fate and hopes for some reinforcements.

Not to mention along with all the stalling as these people no doubt are awaiting poll numbers being accumulated as we speak and as our soldiers die, before Obama  can finally come out and pretend he made a decision on troops levels..... months and months after they were initially requested mind you .

What a mistake it was electing this man on so many levels it's unbelievable still year later people are defending their decisions..

Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy

USATODAY.com: "KABUL — A series of helicopter crashes killed 14 Americans in insurgent-wracked Afghanistan on Monday, the U.S. military said. It was one of the deadliest days of the war for U.S. troops.

In the first crash, a chopper went down in the west of the country after leaving the scene of a firefight with insurgents, killing 10 Americans — seven troops and three civilians working for the government. Eleven American troops, one U.S. civilian and 14 Afghans were also injured.

In a separate incident in the south, two other U.S. choppers collided while in flight, killing four American troops and wounding two more, the military said.

U.S. authorities have ruled out hostile fire in the collision but have not given a cause for the other fatal crash in the west. Taliban spokesman Qari Yusuf Ahmedi claimed Taliban fighters shot down a helicopter in northwest Badghis province's Darabam district. It was impossible to verify the claim and unclear if he was referring to the same incident.

U.S. forces also reported the death of two other American troops a day earlier: one in a bomb attack in the east, and another who died of wounds sustained in an insurgent attack in the same region. The deaths bring to at least 46 the number of U.S. troops who have been killed in October. ">continued

Here's a Fox report on the bombings in Bagdhad that anyone can see are being done now to distract Obama since he can't seem to be able to chew gum and walk at the same time;

U.S. troop funds diverted to DEMOCRATIC pet projects

 We always claimed on the conservative side of the country that the democrats play politics all the time with the soldiers we have around the world in harms way fighting two wars and protecting the rest of the free world for practically nothing, this article if true proves it beyond a reasonable doubt.

All Americans should be infuriated at this report but I'm sure the liberal loons masquerading as the free press won't be talking about this, that's for damn sure....

For the troops and not the war.....my ass....the only use they ever have for the troops is when they politicize the wars and then shaft the funding for the troops fuel and food like they did this past week you can read about below...

Before you get to it, take a good look at this famous shot from a liberal loon protest which speaks to the real truth, and how liberals despise the military that's keeps their sick asses free

U.S. troop funds diverted to pet projects - Washington Times: "Senators diverted $2.6 billion in funds in a defense spending bill to pet projects largely at the expense of accounts that pay for fuel, ammunition and training for U.S. troops, including those fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to an analysis.

Among the 778 such projects, known as earmarks, packed into the bill: $25 million for a new World War II museum at the University of New Orleans and $20 million to launch an educational institute named after the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Massachusetts Democrat.

While earmarks are hardly new in Washington, 'in 30 years on Capitol Hill, I never saw Congress mangle the defense budget as badly as this year,' said Winslow Wheeler, a former Senate staffer who worked on defense funding and oversight for both Republicans and Democrats. He is now a senior fellow at the Center for Defense Information, an independent research organization." continued

Afghanistan Drones and The Damage They're Doing, Good and Some Bad (Video)

This quick little report opens up with Fox News's Shepard Smith who I can barely tolerate most times, but gets much better when he exits the picture and the reporter of the story there explains the ins and outs of the use of these in Pakistan and Afghan land war in these inaccessible tribal regions and elsewhere when needed ...

While there's some good stuff, it leans towards the negative side citing civilian casualties there, which are really unavoidable when the enemy hides and sleeps behind women and children day in and out as these terrorists do. What can you do? Cowards. (video link)

Now Barack Obama Sending Olive Branches To More Terrorists: "Taleban can be involved in Afghanistan future"

I thought we were there to kill and eliminate the Taliban, not play freaking footsies with them and add them to the Obama Official Terrorist's No pre-condition list, especially on the 8 year anniversary of the war's  beginning yesterday.

Now all of a sudden these people make good negotiating partners with the United States and it's allies after 800 dead and tens of thousands of wounded warriors?

Holy Cow Man.....Something tells me this is what is going through Barack Obama's mind more and more as this thing crumbles.....

 Times Online: "President Obama is prepared to accept some Taleban involvement in Afghanistan’s political future and is unlikely to favour a large influx of new US troops being demanded by his ground commander, a senior official said tonight.

Mr Obama appears to have been swayed in recent days by arguments from some advisers, led by Vice-President Joe Biden, that the Taleban do not pose a direct threat to the US and that there should be greater focus on tackling al-Qaeda inside Pakistan.

The official, speaking anonymously to the press about Mr Obama’s internal discussions – a tactic that is causing dismay among some senior military officials – said the president’s final decision on his war strategy and troop levels is still at least two weeks away.

Yet if Mr Obama fails to dispatch at least a significant number of the 40,000 troops requested by General Stanley McChystal, he will have ignored the wishes of his own ground commander and will face fierce attacks from Republicans back home." continued

We used to before the PC police came to town trying to make sure everybody is a winner and there's no losers. Too bad it doesn't work, never did, and never will .

Even America can't make Socialism work, then it's no longer America for starters, no more land of the free, and without that certainly no room for the brave to do their thing, now is there?.....

He talked about that in relation to the Afghan war anniversary today which I talked about this morning in the Wednesday Hero deal we do every single week to honor our troops...Good stuff if Beck's your thing ....whom I  obviously happen to like. (video link)

Troops Die in The "Good War" While Obama Dithers

He and his liberal supporters called the Afghan war that for almost a decade now, so now they're driving the bus, and over the cliff it goes, just as we had warned before the pacifist Obama was elected.

This was a great op ed by war hero and colonel Oliver North in regards to Obama's jerking off as he tries to placate the far left as soldiers are being whacked and attacked while making a troop surge decision.,  so that's now 51 dead and 8 over the weekend (2 were Afghan soldiers) since  General McChrystal requested more men and women to complete the job there that is...

...which brings us to the fact that we know he was against the Iraqi surge, so why not this one too,  one  that's badly needed in Afghan-land since most of our pisspoor so called "allies" can't seem to help us too much with  as far as fighting soldiers goes... besides Britain, Canada, and a scant few others..

I myself wrote about this over the weekend by the way in this post....

FOXNews.com: "At the conclusion of the 1939 movie, 'Gone With the Wind,' Vivian Leigh, playing Scarlett O'Hara, defers decision on what to do about the major crisis in her life with the phrase, 'After all, tomorrow is another day.' Unfortunately, the Obama White House seems to have adopted Scarlett's decision-making process for the war in Afghanistan. Note to the O-Team: Kabul isn't Tara and Americans are dying while the commander in chief dithers."

On Wednesday, September 30, a full month after General Stanley McChrystal submitted his "assessment" of the situation in Afghanistan, President Obama convened a three-hour meeting of his "national security team" in the White House Situation Room to "discuss next moves." According to information subsequently provided by the White House press office, General McChrystal "participated in the meeting" via an encrypted video link and no decisions were made.

Less than 24 hours later, the commander in chief boarded Air Force One and headed, not to meet with his commander on the field of battle, but to Copenhagen, Denmark, to meet with the International Olympic Committee. His mission: Convince the IOC to select Chicago as the site for the 2016 summer games. Apparently, winning Olympic gold for Chicago is more important than winning a war.

That's not just my opinion, that's the sense of many who have put their lives on the line in Afghanistan. On Wednesday, as the "Sit Room" meeting was ongoing, I was with a grievously wounded Navy SEAL at the National Regional Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. His concern was not for his own life-threatening injuries, but on his mates, carrying on the fight without him. continued

How's That Troop Request Coming Big O? ... 8 US troops killed in fierce Afghan fighting

Anytime your ready to make a decision there mr President, I'm sure they would appreciate the assistance since most of Europe mostly can't and simply won't contribute jack to the anti taliban effort needed there.

The Good War, remember?

Oh, and by the way, so nice that Obama carved out 25 minutes on an airport tarmac for the meeting with  General McChrystal, whom he's only met with once prior in the 7 months since appointing him, while he was on his little 'I've Come To Save The Day" jaunt to Copenhagen no?

Another sad reality is that's 51 American soldiers dead since the Generals on the ground again led by Gen. Stanley McChrystal requested more troops from the Obama administration...51 Soldiers now gone with the 8 more killed today in what's being called  the most viscous firefight in a long time there in Afghanland.

May God rest their souls and please protect the others there fighting our battles against evil for freedom and liberty all around this globe.

My Way News "KABUL (AP) - Hundreds of insurgents armed with automatic rifles and rocket-propelled grenades stormed a pair of remote outposts near the Pakistan border, killing eight U.S. soldiers and capturing more than 20 Afghan security troops in the deadliest assault against U.S. forces in more than a year, military officials said Sunday.

The fierce gunbattle, which erupted at dawn Saturday in the Kamdesh district of mountainous Nuristan province and raged throughout the day, is likely to fuel the debate in Washington over the direction of the troubled eight-year war.

It was the heaviest U.S. loss of life in a single battle since July 2008, when nine American soldiers were killed in a raid on an outpost in Wanat in the same province." more

McChrystal seeks more US troops for Afghanistan - Obama Says ..."Well.......

Looks like Obama and his crew are looking to snatch defeat from the Jaws of Victory in Afghanistan there, and he's only been in On The Job Training for 7 months..

Maybe if he really busts his ass he can work something out reversing our wins in WWI, II, and Iraq as well while he's at it...

21 Sep 09: "The senior US military commander in Afghanistan has warned that he needs more troops on the ground, or else risk the mission failing.

The confidential report by General Stanley McChrystal, who also commands Nato troops in Afghanistan, was leaked to the Washington Post newspaper.

The White House says that McChrystal has not made a formal request for more soldiers yet, but McChrystal's strategic assessment could fuel US public anxiety over an escalating to the eight-year conflict."
