Afghans believe US is funding Taliban

clipped by: The Infowarrior
clippers remarks: Afghanistan is just Vietnam mk2, they have no intention of winning, they simply want to sustain it indefinitely if possible, it is a war for profit where the gains are in dollars and opium and the losses in lives.

Intellectuals and respected Afghan professionals are convinced the west is prolonging conflict to maintain influence in the region


U.S. Army Conducts Operations In Kandahar Province

Its near-impossible to find anyone in Afghanistan who doesnt believe the US are funding the Taliban: and its the highly educated Afghan professionals, those employed by ISAF, USAID, international media organisations ? and even advising US diplomats ? who seem the most convinced.


If the US really wanted to defeat the Taliban, person after person asks me, why dont they tackle them in Pakistan? The reason is simple, one friend tells me. "As long as you dont get rid of the nest, the problem will continue. If they eliminate the Taliban, the US will have no reason to stay here."

Afghan national army troops report taking over Taliban bases to find identical rations and weapons to their own US-supplied equipment.

US army helicopters regularly deliver supplies behind Taliban lines.

Military talking points about Taliban like Vietnam

U.S. military commanders say that only when the Taliban realize they cant win the war will they come to the peace table

The Taliban are deeply embedded in the local population, raising the risk of civilian casualties in major clashes. Neither are the Taliban regarded as an alien force. For many in Kandahar, they are neighbors, friends and relatives.


"I dont know why they are doing it," he said. "The Taliban are not outsiders. They are our own people."

Ships Recreate Dunkirk Journey for 70th Anniversary

clipped by: merrie
clippers remarks: Miracle Of Deliverance

The 70th anniversary of Dunkirk, the rescue of Britains army in the wake of the German blitzkrieg on France, is commemorated by a memorial fleet, Ramsgate to Dunkirk. Vid, history and maps at the BBC.

A nod to my friend Paul C., Vietnam Psyops vet and reverent scholar of WWII, on the BBC link.

The real one was pulled off by more than 800 naval vessels, merchant ships, fishing boats and pleasure craft as small as 15 feet, May 26-June 4, 1940, prompting Churchill?s famous ?We shall fight on the beaches ? we shall never surrender? speech. The result of the action by England?s ?little ships,? he called a ?miracle of deliverance.? No miracle. Churchill could make his claim with confidence. Under heavy attack by the Luftwaffe, an estimated 5,000 were killed in the evacuation and more than 200 vessels, one in four, were lost. Total allied casualties in the battle of Dunkirk, an estimated 30,000 killed or wounded and 34,000 missing or captured, according to Wikipedia.  Another 338,000 were saved to fight another day. Hitler had ordered a three-day halt, and a number of top German brass considered the failure to launch an assault a critical error.

Smack Down Your Vote!

clipped by: debbyski

Your own options are:


A) A well regarded former congressman who is a decorated Vietnam War veteran.


B) A political novice who made her fortune building up an entertainment business that specialized in blood, seminaked women and scripted subplots featuring rape, adultery and familial violence. In which the candidate, her husband and children played themselves. Also, the family yacht is named Sexy Bitch.


Yes, this week the Connecticut Republican Party chose Linda McMahon, the former C.E.O. of World Wrestling Entertainment, to be their Senate candidate. Her main opponent, the former Representative Rob Simmons, packed up his war medals and went home.


?You can?t argue with arithmetic,? he told The New London Day.


The math in question is $50 million, the amount McMahon claimed she was prepared to spend on her campaign. Connecticut has just under two million registered voters, so maybe she?ll just invite everybody in the state to a nice dinner at Red Lobster.

U.S. Report: Our Secret Ops.

clipped by: citizenbfk
clippers remarks: !? General Petraeus has revealed USA Secret Ops programs.

How strange. Why?

Anyhow, ITS GOOD. Lots of folks dont realize we knee deep in covert actions all the time all around the world. Were messing around with who becomes a candidate in elections in foreign countries, we give cash to campaigns in foreign countries, we kill political and militant folks from foreign countries, we do sabotage, blow up factores, railroad lines, buses, etc.

We did this before the start of the war in Vietnam. Were doing this now in Iran. We did it before the start of the war in Iraq. Were doing this now in Somalia and several African nations, etc.

Gosh. Many folks would find this hard to believe. But evidence was there. Now we have our own Generals Report.

No Whinning

clipped by: mklosinski

Lets face it this has been the toughest year and a half since any year and a half since the 1930s.


This is the most revealing comment Obama has made publicly in a long while. It shows his self-absorption and utter lack of a sense of history. 


Sure, FDR had a tough ?30s with the economy and all, but by the time the ?40s hit, it was smooth sailing. (What?s worse: the Nazis and the threat of world-dominating totalitarianism or the obstructionist Republicans?) And President Harry Truman really had an easy time ending World War II, and having to nuke the Japanese. President Dwight Eisenhower only had the Korean War to worry about ? and who remembers that, anyway? JFK and LBJ had Vietnam ? not to mention the worry that the Russians might nuke America from Cuba, or any other place in the world, etc., etc., etc.


Obama?s whining is puerile.

The last thing people want to hear from a president is even an iota of self-pity.

Candidate?s Words on Vietnam Service Differ From History

clipped by: merrie
clippers remarks: The deferments allowed Mr. Blumenthal to complete his studies at Harvard; pursue a graduate fellowship in England; serve as a special assistant to The Washington Postâs publisher, Katharine Graham; and ultimately take a job in the Nixon White House.

In 1970, with his last deferment in jeopardy, he landed a coveted spot in the Marine Reserve, which virtually guaranteed that he would not be sent to Vietnam. He joined a unit in Washington that conducted drills and other exercises and focused on local projects, like fixing a campground and organizing a Toys for Tots drive.

Attorney General Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut is running for a seat in the Senate.


At a ceremony honoring veterans and senior citizens who sent presents to soldiers overseas, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut rose and spoke of an earlier time in his life.


?We have learned something important since the days that I served in Vietnam,? Mr. Blumenthal said to the group gathered in Norwalk in March 2008. ?And you exemplify it. Whatever we think about the war, whatever we call it ? Afghanistan or Iraq ? we owe our military men and women unconditional support.?


There was one problem: Mr. Blumenthal, a Democrat now running for the United States Senate, never served in Vietnam. He obtained at least five military deferments from 1965 to 1970 and took repeated steps that enabled him to avoid going to war, according to records.

AP INVESTIGATION: Texas man faked way into Army


Jesse Bernard Johnston III

AP ? This undated photo shows Jesse Bernard Johnston III, 26, wearing a Marine dress uniform with ribbons ?

FORT WORTH, Texas ? A Texas man with no military experience tricked the Army into letting him enter a reserve unit as a noncommissioned officer earlier this year, a deception that placed an untrained soldier in a leadership position in a time of war, an Associated Press investigation has found.


The revelation comes just months after the Army drew criticism for failing to flag the suspicious activities of the Army psychiatrist now charged with killing 13 and wounding dozens of others at Fort Hood.


Maj. Shawn Haney, spokeswoman for Marine Manpower and Reserve Affairs, said Johnston didnt complete the courses final six weeks. "He was never considered a Marine," she said.

On the Left, It?s 1964 4Ever

clipped by: merrie
clippers remarks: The Rand Paul Circus Begins

Mind you, this is only the opening act. The issue isnt racism for Paul. Yes, thats unfair. So?? This is politics and that hardly matters, because the media, the Democrat spin machine and Lefty blogs are going to be all about branding the guy as that, and more. It was obvious they could hardly wait to get started.

And spare me the whining over principles. The vast majority of voters dont take the time to consider these issues that deeply. And nothing Paul supporters say or do is going to change that. The Constitutional battle was fifty years ago. It was lost. But Paul doesnt have the good political sense to stop fighting it. And if he develops it, surprise, hell then be labeled a liar and a hypocrite.

Here is the Catch 22. If Paul says he fully supports how the feds forced the private sector to end segregation he loses libertarian street cred, but by only supporting the results of the Civil Rights Act and not ...

Chairman Zero?s progressive leftist fanboys are giggling with glee because their smartest and most masculine thought leader, Rachel Maddow, asked Republican Senate Candidate Rand Paul a question he didn?t answer well? about the 1964 Civil Rights Act!


For the record, he could have answered it better, e.g. by simply stating that as a libertarian, he was wary of Federal Intrusion into private business decisions and that there should be limits to such intrusion. But, for Pete?s sake, the Civil Rights Act was 46 frakkin? years ago!. Put down the bong and look at a calendar, you stupid hippies!


The country has moved on, but the idiot left is stuck in 1964. Rand Paul is not going to travel back in time, Quantum Leap style, to vote against the Civil Rights Act. But if it makes you feel better, if he does manage to travel back in time, Timecop-style, to 1964, he would probably vote against the Vietnam War, too.




Feel better, hippies?

Blumenthal Gets Caught Embellishing His Military Service

clipped by: donjake
clippers remarks: This is what happens when you lie about your past to try and obtain an advantage. It doesnt matter if its a lie on a resume about education or experience to get a job, a lie about military service to improve your chance of being elected to a political office, if you lie you will be found out. The charade will not last forever. However its a joke for Ms WWE, Linda McMahon, to be using this in her political campaign. They should just wrestle to see who becomes the next senator from Connecticut.
Clip Source: news.yahoo.com

One of Blumenthals Republican opponents, former WWE wrestling executive Linda McMahon, claimed to have given video of the Norwalk event to the Times after more than two months of "deep, persistent" research.


The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee said it was not surprised that McMahons campaign "cherry-picked" the quotes, "considering all of the debauchery" at the WWE under her watch. And Connecticut Democratic chairwoman Nancy DiNardo called the accusations "the lowest kind of political smear."

Q&A: Apichatpong Weerasethakul

clippers remarks: Illustration and story in The Hollywood Reporter.


THR: Is there any link between your films story and the fractious political street clashes going on in Bangkok now?

Weerasethakul: Not directly. Whats happened in Bangkok now is a class war. In Thailand, there are such distinct classes. People are always being oppressed, either economically or socially, and it was the same thing during the 60s with the farmers who were trying to have their voices heard. Theres been neglect. During that time, with the Communism from Laos and Vietnam, it was bound to happen that they turned to these ideas.

Did Dick Blumenthal Apologize While Accompanied by Another Phony?

clipped by: merrie
clippers remarks: Its entirely fitting if the staged Blumenthal apology was, as our anonymous contributor asserts, accompanied by another puffed-up bloviator.


Update: William Jacobson writes, "Well, the Storm guy was there, confirmed, so if he is a poser, then you have it."

Labels:
Senate candidate Dick Blumenthal (D-CT) apologized today for misstatements concerning his (non-existent) Vietnam military service. The staged press conference featured a handful of Marine vets ostensibly lending their support.

An eagle-eyed observer just sent us this photo with the caption:



"Look carefully at the face of the man on the right. Now compare that face to this man."



This is William Joseph Trumpower (AKA Eliot Storm), a man listed on POW Networks Phony Vets Database.



Trumpower, like Blumenthal, is a Connecticut resident and has made quite a name for himself hawking books on the Vietnam experience. The POW Networks Phony database lists Trumpowers bogus credentials as follows:

CLAIMING BRONZE STAR w/VALOR device... Claims 2nd Lt, Claims... Wears 3 Purple Hearts, 2 Bronze Stars w/V. The jacket in EARLIER pictures boasted 8 ribbons. This NEW pic has more and includes V device on Bronze Star and 2nd Lt bars...
