The connection between the left, and the insurgency
2008-03-26 13:58:00 The Washington Times, this morning: Researchers at Harvard say that publicly voiced doubts about the U.S. occupation of Iraq have a measurable “emboldenment effect” on insurgents there. Periods of intense news media coverage in the United States of criticism about the war, or of polling about public opinion on the conflict, are followed by a small but quantifiable increases in the number of attacks on civilians and U.S. forces in Iraq, according to a study by Radha Iyengar, a Robert Wood Johnson Scholar in health policy research at Harvard and Jonathan Monten of the Belfer Center at the university’s Kennedy School of Government. The increase in attacks is more pronounced in areas of Iraq that have better access to international news media, the authors conclude in a report titled “Is There an ‘Emboldenment’ Effect? Evidence from the Insurgency in Iraq.” This isn’t rocket science, here, gang. Which party controls the press, again? And wh...

Clinton inevitability: The insurgency is in its last throes
2008-02-13 23:08:00 Just as a quick hit, I’ve noticed a number of interesting pieces floating about the blogosphere that delve into the hidden dynamics and power struggles of the Clinton campaign and why it, originally as inevitable as the sunrise and paying taxes, is now foundering so badly. The inestimable Pam Spaulding has a roundup of Michele Cottle (from The New Republican) and Josh Greene (from The Atlantic) looking into the resignation of Patti Solis Doyle, the role she played as power broker and manager, and how Clinton, like Bush, seems to prize loyalty and discipline over competence and effectiveness. Last week, Obsidian Wings’ Hilzoy looked at coverage of the campaign and Clinton’s failures (including the Doyle resignation), and asked why the heck could Clinton have not foreseen this. Finally, Matthew Yglesias looks at the Clinton campaign continuing to employ the utterly odious Mark Penn (who spent the night of Clinton’s sound defeat on Tuesday in the Potomac Primar...
UK troops are 'poorly trained for insurgency'
2008-01-29 07:02:00 British soldiers serving in Iraq were ill prepared and poorly trained for the violent insurgency that erupted in that country in the summer of 2003. According to a senior army officer's report, a number of soldiers had behaved disgracefully and treated Iraqi detainees "in a deliberate and callous manner, but the abuse was not symptomatic of a general breakdown in discipline in the Army. Brigadier Robert Aitken, director of Army Personnel Strategy, claims in his report that a majority of soldiers and officers have conducted themselves honourably and professionally. Acting on the report, Britain's Army Chief, General Sir Richard Dannatt, has promised administrative action against those found guilty of prisoner abuse in Iraq, and added that some of the accused could even be dismissed from the armed services. General Dannatt's warning follows the revelation of an Iraqi hotel receptionist, Baha Musa, 26, dying after suffering 93 injuries while being ...

Tomgram: Rebecca Solnit, Journey into the Heart of an Insurgency
2008-01-17 20:36:00 by Tom Engelhardt The Zapatistas, the Mexican rebels who emerged from the jungles of the impoverished state of Chiapas, Mexico, on New Year's Day in 1994, have been on the mind of and in the writings of Rebecca Solnit since almost the moment she arrived at Tomdispatch. In 2004, she spoke of their uprising as "a revolt against the official version of history"; in 2006, she suggested that they had "staged a revolution, not only in what the status of Indians would be in that country but in the nature of revolution too"; and, at the end of 2007, she called them collectively "the most powerful voice coming from the Spanish-speaking majority of the Americas." Now, 14 years after they burst dramatically into world consciousness, she's traveled to Chiapas to visit Zapatista-held territory and spend a New Year's Day with them. The author of the inspired Hope in the Dark: Untold Histories, Wild Possibilities returns with this report. Tom R...

Unconventional Counter-Insurgency in Afghanistan

Counter-Strike started off as an original Half Life mod by Minh "Gooseman" Le and Jess "Cliffe" Cliffe, and grew into one of the most played online first person shooter of all time (right next to Unreal Tournament). It became so popular that Valve released the game for the original X-Box and released Counter-Strike; Source using Half Life 2’s engine. Now that Counter-Strike left its original Half Life mod roots, countless imitators tried to take its place. But many people are excited about Insurgency, a Half Life 2 mod that takes place in the Iraq War.

Insurgency Mod
2007-07-22 04:24:00 I recently downloaded this great Half-Life 2 mod, and I gotta say, it's one of the best mods I've ever played. It is a multiplayer FPS based around the present day in Iraq, and was made by soldiers that have first hand experience. It is very realistic, there is virtually no HUD, or interface, which ups the realism. You die fairly quickly, and the physics are very realistic. It is really fun, especially when you have the RPG launcher, unlike most games, this rocket flys fast, so you get super easy kills. It is really a great deal of fun. I believe all you need is one of Valves Source based games (Counter-Strike Source, Day of Defeat Source, Half-Life 2, etc.) which will allow you to download the Source SDK Base which is needed to play the game. I would reccommend this to any FPS fan looking for a realistic game, or if you want to know what it's like in the ARMY, as it requires a great deal of teamwork. Great game, 9/10.==>LINKThank you for subscribing to my blog!

The BBC is reporting that the Taliban basically lifted the idea of planting the bomb on a bus straight from the tactics of insurgents in Baghdad...great, this is what they mean by "Al Qaeda" (its a learning block on how to get your point across violently).According to witnesses the bomb exploded in front of a police headquarters and the area was littered with blood and body parts. It brings to mind more than a few of the horrific terrorist scenes that Bret Easton Ellis has been known for. It appears that the last three days are marking a sharp rise in Afghanistan insurgent attacks. The comparison to Iraq added into the mix means that the US could have an even messier mess in the Middle East...
