Obama Approves 17,000 Troops To Be Sent To Afghanistan
2009-02-18 03:23:00 My question is why?WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama has approved adding about 17,000 U.S. troops for the flagging war in Afghanistan, administration, defense and congressional officials said Tuesday.The Obama administration is expected to announce on Tuesday that it will send one additional Army brigade and an unknown number of Marines to Afghanistan this spring and summer. Officials spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of the official announcement.About 8,000 Marines are expected to go in first, followed by about 9,000 Army troops.The new forces represent the first installment on a larger influx of U.S. forces widely expected this year. Obama's decision would get several thousand troops in place in time for the increase in fighting that usually comes with warmer weather and ahead of national elections in August.The additional forces partly answer a standing request from the U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Gen. David McKiernan, who has sought as many as 30,000 additional U....

New Tire Technology May Provide More Safety For Our Troops
2008-11-29 02:23:00 In everyday driving scenarios, your tires are among the 3 or 4 most important safety features your vehicle has. Looking at them as a safety feature may seem a little bit of a stretch, but when it comes right down to it they are the only contact between yourself and the pavement. If you move out of the everyday and go to a combat zone, tires could mean the difference between life and death. For this reason, a new kind of tire has been developed for the US Military that could help bring more of our men and women home.
Latest Weapon Against US Troops In Iraq
2008-11-18 04:02:00 Armor-piercing grenades, Russian-made.It's interesting that I have never even heard of this weapon before. It looks like a bottle rocket or a gigantic Molotov cocktail. After you throw it, it opens a parachute so it can land in the right direction for it detonate properly and detonate its armor-piercing weaponry. This weapon has killed a number of US troops this year.It is typically thrown from crowds in Baghdad, and it is almost impossible to figure out who threw it. There is considerable blowback from the weapon, which is often tossed at short distance, so in the video you can see the throwers running away as soon as they throw the thing. It's interesting that this is first I have heard of this weapon.Al Qaeda in Iraq is reportedly utilizing this weapon a lot. The news segment on the video highlights the Dora District in South Baghdad, which is sadly still an Iraqi Al Qaeda battleground. I thought we had cleaned this shits out of there.There has been some horrific abuse and ethn...

Afghan Guerrillas Kill 9 US Troops, Wound 15
2008-07-14 04:12:00 Updated July 15:A large force of Afghan guerrillas, numbering 400-500, penetrated a remote US combat outpost (COP) base in the remote town of Want.Want is properly transcribed, Wâ?t, or Wãt - the "a" is the "a" sound in "father", but it is nasalized, or said through the nose. There is no "n" sound in "Want". The "n" is written in the word because the nasalization of the "a" makes it appear that an "n" follows. Want is mistakenly identified as "Wanat" in press reports.Want is located in the Waygal* Valley north of the Pech River in the Waygal District of Nuristan Province (mistakenly identified as the Pech District of Kunar Province) in the northeast of the country near the Afghan border.The Nuristani tribe that traditionally lived in the area is called the Wãtä (the final "a" is the "a" sound in "bad"). But their traditional enemies, the Safi Pashtuns, have been moving up the Waygal Valley all the way to Want in recent years, and the situation has become pretty tense. The Wãtä speak...

Iraq War: If The Surge Is Working, Bring The Troops Home!
2008-06-24 13:39:00 I just ran over this Washington Post article which reports that the "surge" is working, but the Bush Administration does not have a plan for the period after the surge.It's as if they were expecting to just keep the troops there, lending credence to Senator John McCain's view that we're going to be i n Iraq for 100 years. I can only hope we get Senator Obama into the White House as President. While Iraq forces may not be able to act independently of American forces, perhaps they would be left with no choice if we took the lion's share of the troops out.
?Supporting The Troops? On Kristol Mess Monday
2008-06-23 10:42:00 The New York Times conservative quota hire columnist attacks the ?Not Alex? MoveOn ad below (from here)?The ad is simple. A mother speaks as she holds her baby boy:?Hi, John McCain. This is Alex. And he?s my first. So far his talents include trying any new food and chasing after our dog. That, and making my heart pound every time I look at him. And so, John McCain, when you say you would stay in Iraq for 100 years, were you counting on Alex? Because if you were, you can?t have him.?Take that, warmonger!?The MoveOn ad is unapologetic in its selfishness, and barely disguised in its disdain for those who have chosen to serve ? and its contempt for those parents who might be proud of sons and daughters who are serving. The ad boldly embraces a vision of a selfish and infantilized America, suggesting that military service and sacrifice are unnecessary and deplorable relics of the past.If that were true about MoveOn, then I would hardly think they?d enjoy the popularity that they do among...

Uk Troops to be out of Iraq by end of year - ish.
2008-06-09 23:03:00 The BBC reports:The final withdrawal of British troops from Iraq could be announced by the end of the year.So what are they saying? Well, they are not saying it will be announced, only that it could. And even then they are saying that the announcement could be made by the end of the year - NOT that troops could be withdrawn by the end of the year. The government could announce that troops will be withdrawn in five years time - by the end of the year. I've got to ask - are the government paying the BBC to come out with this crap to try and save Gordon Brown's neck?Also in the news:Moon monkeys could fly out of my arse by the end of the year.My pear tree could produce solid gold pears by the end of the year.Gordon Brown could make a decision by the end of the year.Guido Fawkes could link to me by the end of the year.Nick Clegg could explain his position on the Lisbon Treaty by the end of the year.UPDATE: Guido has linked to me - I guess the BBC could be right after all. Cheers Guido!
