I’m not sure what to think of this piece on Afghanistan from the Armed Forces Journal, by Lt. Col. Daniel Davis — who used to be on Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson’s staff (Drudge linked to it)…: From Bad to Abysmal Much of what I saw during my deployment, let alone read or wrote in official [...] Ranger Up’s awesome team, at it yet again with their latest shirt, now available for pre-order. However — and completely sucking up to Outlaw — rather they’d used an Apache firing the kill-shots. Either: a) We made this shirt to mock the bastardization of an inane verse in the Koran by Islamic fundamentalists to [...] Some Marines are in trouble for peeing on the dead bodies of some Taliban. I guess on some level I wish they hadn’t done that, but my “give a damn” just isn’t too worked about it. My main issue… why WHY did they videotape it? Good Lord that was breathtakingly dumb. Top U.S. officials moved [...] Powerline links to a sobering story from The Investigative Project on Terrorism about a ring of used car dealerships around the U.S. in places like Tulsa, OK, and Mt. Joliet, TN with ties to Hezbollah and Mexican drug cartels….: A Treasury designation, a criminal indictment and a civil lawsuit allege the Lebanese drug [...] The Internets have been all atwitter (SWIJDT?) about the National Defense Reauthorization Act with the wilder rumors arguing that it allows Obama to detain citizens and I’ve even read where some think it could authorize hit squads. I’ve been swamped with finals and papers to post on it, so instead I’ll link to this [...] The remains of at least 274 war dead were dumped in a Virginia landfill by Air Force personnel at Dover AFB. Story at the link… prepare to be pissed and appalled. http://yhoo.it/vWRO2S UPDATE: Outlaw points out in the comments that the bad guys here were contractors not USAF personnel Share on Facebook Here’s a disturbing AP story about a recent CIA debacle in Lebanon concerning Hezbollah and other setbacks in the region: The Lebanon crisis is the latest mishap involving CIA counterintelligence, the undermining or manipulating of the enemy’s ability to gather information. Former CIA officials have said that once-essential skill has been eroded as the agency [...] Remember Gaddhafi’s untapped resources er… bodyguards? Alas, Moammar’s Angels were unable to guard his body. He was reportedly killed in Sirte. A detailed chronology of th events is at the Daily Telegraph link above including a video purported to show his body (it’s gruesome — you’ve been forewarned). Now comes the real show in [...] Man, I wish I had a copy of the Democrat playbook. I would be fascinating reading, I’m sure. Now it seems we’re onto the “send a small force of American troops into the middle of a conflict involving crazy African warlords” phase of the game. From USA Today: President Obama notified Congress today that [...] What’s the process for killing American citizens with minimal due process? Reuters has a piece on the process – though the White House is a bit fuzzy — understandably so. There is no public record of the operations or decisions of the panel, which is a subset of the White House’s National Security [...] Today a sergeant of the United States Marine Corps received the Medal of Honor for his actions in Afghanistan on 8 September 2009. His name is Dakota Meyer and what he did to earn this medal is heroic and deserves nothing less. Here’s the citation: For service as set forth in the following For conspicuous [...] This video featuring the Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, lays out our current defense situation. After seeing this short video it is easy to see how massive defense cuts aren’t really something we need to be looking at. That being said, I am all for trimming waste from the defense budget. My favorite [...] Here’s an excerpt from a really good article highlighting the war in Afghanistan and the part that Army Aviation has to play. Via The Danger Room FORWARD OPERATING BASE SALERNO, Afghanistan — Chief Warrant Officers Keith Lacy and David Fleckenstein were hunting an insurgent mortar team from the sky when news came over the [...] How’s that, Mo-Mo? You lied about your adopted daughter dying to make the US look like baby killers back in ’86. Have fun in exile and/or hanging from a noose like Mr. Hussein. Pun’ (“punk,” as translated from the Bronson dialect). The adopted daughter of Muammar Gadafy, whom he claimed died as an infant in [...] Former Army Staff Sgt. Matthew Blain, 25, right, was recognized last Saturday with the “Soldier’s Medal,” for heroism not in combat for a river rescue in Afghanistan. The Orange County Register has the story: That’s what he did when word crackled over the radio that a vehicle had flipped into the river. Blain sprinted [...] As rebels ransack Moammar Gaddhafi’s compund… it appears our boy had a bit of a secret crush: Among the many bizarre items uncovered as Libyan rebels ransacked Muammar Gaddafi’s Tripoli compound: an album filled with photos of former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. The discovery was perhaps not surprising given Gaddafi’s much-professed [...] Sure, we all have our various and respective problems with President George W. Bush, but have not one with how he reacted and immediately dealt with the attacks on 9/11. DVR set and looking forward to the National Geographic Channel’s interview with the former President next Monday, 10 PM EST/PST. National Geographic Channel presents [...] |
