Not enough intelligence? I mean, duh. Jeez.

Day at the office

Ralph Peters not happy

When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains

And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An' go to your Gawd like a soldier.

Cashiered for being candid?

Whadda expect after 19 years of rank stupidity in the implementation of this "war". HOB and BHO, the Axis of Idiocy.

Steyn Pisses on Herr Rott's Fruity Hero

Apparently his "Betters" dream of being 1960s Brit Clowns.

That would explain a lot about the merda that this war has become at every fucking level.

Filkins in Afgh

I love the smell of napalm in the morning

The right way to go after the bad guys: use air power to the hilt, not just boots on the ground. Smells like...victory.

Cheating the Grim Reaper

The beat goes on

Eight US civilians killed by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan. A "civilian surge" was one of the three core elements of the new US strategy for Afghanistan announced by US President Barack Obama at the beginning of the month. How is this supposed to help eradicate AQ?

Update. Further update: the bomber was being courted as an informant and was not frisked as he entered the base. Why not? Not. Rocket. Science.

Another update: Here is a pic of Jalaluddin Haqqani. The CIA helped him in the 1980s resist the Soviets. Now he's blowing up our boys. And we're fighting by Marquess of Queensberry rules. Of course.
