"14 days that deep fried the world"
what's almost over is the planet as we know it, or in layman's terms, 'THe End of the World". So loosen up. there's not much we can do about it so enjoy this few days we've been givin'. Alki's, fall off that wagon, Fatties, go for that cheese cake. the Illuminati used to play this 1, 2 trick. Cause some world breaking crisis on the other side of the planet while they got away with their dirty deeds. Now their employing their here to fore unseen,1,2,3 trick. we'll see how this works out. most haven't even noticed its so confusing, hehe. The right wing talkers have been on the air all day saying how we should go toe to toe with the Russkies. No one stopped us in Iraq, and look at those armies in Georgia. Dam the shape we're in now, the silly lookin' Georgians could smoke us. we've spent obver 7 years fighting an illegal war, losing the best and brightest from all branches, worn out our gear, all so a few guys could get rich. Well I'm feeling too good not smoking, i think i'll celebrate the end by not lighting up. Join me daily for the countdown to the end. thank God we don't have to fight those underage Chinese gym girls, they fight dirty and have some sneeky moves to be sure. Let's put it at 14 days to go. ok?

Top Brass Defends Russia's Right to Preemptive "Nuclear" Strike
One only has to glance back at international conflicts over the last 200 years to see "What's going on." thanks Marvin. Geneva means nothing on the battlefield. What the powers that be stand for does. During the American Civil War, the use of the Union Blockade was tolerated by Europe. They rolled it up and stashed it in their bag of dirty tricks. Then were WWI and WWII came along, out came the established rules of fat fuck war sec. Stanton, so millions could die legally over his hatred and greed. Now a few years ago we illegally invaded a county called Iraq. Russia did nothing more than sit on her hands hands and wait for her day.

NATO: deaf, mute, and blind
Did the NATO presser on the South Ossetian crisis presented by the alliance’s head Jaap de Hoop Scheffer make any sense to you? I didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. It was an appalling exercise in doublethink and confusion.
Scheffer started out by saying: “it’s not business as usual with Russia.” That is the only thing he said that reflects reality. NATO’s “business as usual” is to ignore Russia’s legitimate security interests – particularly when it comes to expansion eastwards. The rest of his less-than-media-slick presentation demonstrated that NATO is simply at a loss – completely disconnected with how the world has changed after its favourite Georgian son fully de-legitimised NATO’s mantras of “spreading democracy” and “projecting peace.”
How is NATO deaf?
De Hoop Scheffer’s not-ready-for-prime-time show glaringly tells us that he and the alliance he heads will not listen to criticism or respect the security interests of others. When asked to justify the alliance’s existence almost two decades after the end of the Cold War, he was defiant and basically speechless. When asked about Georgia’s culpability for starting the war against South Ossetia, he was silent. He simply refused to answer a journalist’s question - “business as usual.”
How is NATO mute?
De Hoop Scheffer refuses to comprehend that Russia is adhering to its commitment to the ceasefire plan in a way that any actor in a complex conflict zone must always face. Yes, it is far easier to enter a conflict zone than to leave it. A military alliance should understand this. But then again, NATO is only really interested in promoting very specific geopolitical interests that ignore the security of others like Russia. Indeed, “business as usual.”
NATO has shown zero responsibility when it comes to security in the south Caucasus. Even after Saakashvili’s recklessness, Tbilisi is still welcomed into the alliance. If this isn’t the death of outrage, I don’t know what is. Georgia is neither peaceful nor democratic. But that doesn’t matter. NATO has a two-decade long tradition of saying one thing and doing another - “business as usual.”
How is NATO blind?
NATO is an organisation that demands to exist for existence sake. The alliance needs a ten-step self-help programme to wean itself off bad habits. It cannot see how the world has changed. The Cold War is long over. It would seem that the alliance likes living in the past. But alas, it needs an enemy to keep those generous paychecks coming. Russia is not NATO’s enemy. But NATO’s behaviour tells us the opposite.
Even Helen Keller could sense that NATO is going down the wrong path. NATO and Russia face a multitude of global security threats. Why should one madman in Tbilisi derail all of this?
I suppose it is “Business as usual," or businesss as usual if your die furher.

... one thing should make the Americans think hard about reverting to an anti-Russian mentality. Extremist Muslims hatched the September 11, 2001, attacks on the US. These radicals were the product of the US's fixation with the Russians - the US had assisted and trained the mujahideen to oppose the Soviets in Afghanistan in the 1980s.

"If my guesses are confirmed, suspicions will arise that there is someone in the United States who specially created this conflict in order to exacerbate the situation and give one of the candidates an advantage in fighting for the office of the president of the United States. And if this is a fact, it is nothing other than use of so-called administrative resources in home policy struggles, and their worst, bloody form as well," the premier said.
This is CNN's report "Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has accused the United States of orchestrating the conflict in Georgia to benefit one of its presidential election candidates."

Laos Terror Plot has Chico Connections
Tuesday Jun 05, 2007
report from KHSL.TV
A terrorist plot to overthrow the government of Laos may have Chico connections. The FBI says it has broken up the plot and charged ten people in connection with it.
Agents say those people planned to buy missiles, mines, assault rifles, and other weapons to topple Laos’s community government. At least one warrant was served in Chico.
“A final agreement was reached to have the weapons sent later this week to remote regions of Thailand, which would serve as staging areas for entering Laos,” said US Attorney McGregor Scott, “Once in Laos, a coup attempt would be launched to include blowing up governmental buildings and assassinating officials.”
Those charged include a former Laotian military general that helped the CIA in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War as well as a former officer with the California National Guard. Prosecutors say the group was raising money to recruit a mercenary force and buy enough weapons to equip a small army.
Federal officials say search and arrest warrants were also served in the cities of Sacramento and Stockton.

Army to Field Improved Body Armor
comment by Tony the Q
posted april 11, 2007
Above is a link to a story about new body armor that will soon be deployed to soldiers/sailors/airman in Afghanistan and Iraq. "A little late...huh?" . ..In my opinion the deployment is a faulty and late attempt at appeasing public sentiment, rather than an actual concern for our troops. It is said that in "Wartime" that all the beauracracy of Peace is quickly bypassed and that common men will use common sense in providing what is neccesary to get the job done...."why not this time?" Not only are servicemen and woman not equiped with proper body armor, but they are not allowed to use the proper body armor for fear that it will not meet military requirments. Even though body armor such as "DRAGONSKIN" exceeds all (archaic) military specifications. I could understand the stance against personally protecting oneself with "Civilian" bodyarmor...if they provided an alternative, but the us government policy doesnt provide one. As of now, they are simply restiching and redistributing obsolete body armor that DOES NOT MEET military standards of protection. The only explanation for prohibiting parents from sending there children proper body armor; would be that the "Military" wants to "SAVE FACE".
I served during "Desert Shield" and Desert Storm (Part 1), and at the time we laughed about how well equipped we were compared to the armed forces of other nations....What Happened?! Not since World War 2 has there been such a improperly designed uniform. (The Marine fatigues tended to wear and fade causing them to turn white instead of the intended Jungle scheme...) We have all seen or read stories on how much money was spent in the new "Pixalated Camouflage uniforms", all the latest and greatest technology used to design this new camouflage system. While the color pattern of the uniform is impressive...the uniform design is not. Velcro has been used for pockets and insignia/ badge hanging, When was velcro "battle tested"...or more importantly, when did it "Pass" this test? Most of the recent complaints from soldiers/sailors/airman are from failing velcro, (Pockets opening, badges/insignias lost) but more recently include failure of pants at the knees and groin. My uniforms never failed , even when I practiced "Tai Kwan Do" in them.
(Form of Karate' involving high Kicks) There are enough hardships in are "young Defenders" lives, why have we allowed there Uniform to add to them.
If the Uniforms cost so much, is that why cannot "Afford" proper body armor? Or are we experiencing another 1980s climate of misspending and misappropriation of funds? (Remember the $600 hammer?) While i find the "spending" suspect, I do not wish to encourage an investigation or a "study"(More wasted dollars), but rather a more common sense approach;
"Give the Troops the body armor they need now, or allow them to purchase there own, and keep uniform design basic and functional.It will save us money that is better spent on Body armor, than the arguably inconsequential pattern changes in camouflage.

Victory In Iraq, One City At A Time
By Thomas X. Hammes
Washington--The assault on Samarra by coalition forces over the weekend was probably the first step in a broader offensive intended to quell insurgent hot spots before the Iraqi elections in January. It was a promising start, as American and Iraqi forces quickly swept through the city, in the Sunni triangle north of Baghdad. Now comes the difficult part: establishing an effective government to prevent the return of the insurgents.
Yet even before the initial sweep of Samarra was completed, some officials, military commentators and pundits called for stepping up the wider offensive to "clean out" other insurgent strongholds, like Falluja, Najaf and the Sadr City neighborhood of Baghdad. This line of thinking holds that only rapid, decisive actions against all havens for guerrillas will break them and destroy their center of gravity. It's a tempting idea, but a bad one: the problem is, insurgencies don't have a physical center of gravity.
Insurgencies are first and foremost political struggles, not military ones. The only way to defeat them is to gain the widespread support of the people. So the real goal of any broader offensive in Iraq must be less to wipe out the rebel fighters than to give legitimacy to the government in Baghdad.
While a widespread offensive to clean out the strongholds might provide breathing room to conduct the elections, if done too hastily it would undoubtedly result in a major strategic gain for the insurgents. Aggressive offensives usually result in high civilian casualties and, in a country as large as Iraq, would badly overstretch the American military and Iraqi security forces. The combination of civilian deaths and an inability to provide real safety in the cities would be a severe blow to the legitimacy of the government.
Insurgencies are long struggles, measured in decades, not months. The Soviets "cleaned out" the Panjshir Valley north of Kabul at least seven times during their occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980's. Each time the goal was to destroy the network of ethnic tribes called the Northern Alliance; each time the Soviets killed hundreds if not thousands of rebel soldiers and many more civilians.
Yet the Soviets could not turn tactical success into strategic progress. They could not establish a permanent government in the valley. Each time they thought they had destroyed the heart of the Northern Alliance resistance. Today, of course, many members of that alliance hold leading positions in the Afghan government.
While we cannot allow the Iraqi insurgents to have sanctuaries indefinitely, a rapid sweep of guerrilla-controlled cities and towns would do no good unless they can subsequently be secured by Iraqi troops and police forces. Let's face it, until the local government achieved some level of effectiveness and acceptance by the locals, Iraqi security forces would have to cut off the liberated city from the outside insurgent influence. And, from schools to waste disposal to compensation for wrecked homes, the Iraqi government would have to bring in, swiftly, the people and resources to deal with all aspects of governance.
Isolating, searching and controlling a city take a great deal of manpower. These tasks require well-trained, disciplined troops, or the result will be further alienation of the population. A few police officers isolated in their stations are not enough. There must be enough policemen backed by strong military forces to provide a continuous Iraqi government presence throughout the city.
This is why the coalition's focus over the last year on rebuilding the Iraqi security forces and establishing effective Iraqi ministries is essential. It is also why we cannot take the chance of seizing all the insurgent strongholds simultaneously. The Iraqi security forces simply do not have the numbers and experience to take responsibility for both security and effective governance of large new areas.
A vital rule of counterinsurgency is that once control has been established, the government must never withdraw. A city can be governed only with the active cooperation of a solid percentage of its residents. The good news is that many Iraqis in the more peaceful areas of the country have shown the courage to come forward and work with their local governments. But if these governments lose control to the insurgents, it would be a death penalty for those who had cooperated.
While all this may sound daunting, the extended nature of insurgencies can also help the counterinsurgent. One of the best examples came in 1948, when the Malayan Communist Party started a guerrilla war to overthrow the British colonial government. Caught off balance, short of troops and without a coherent strategy, the British were forced onto the defensive.
Then in 1950, Sir Harold Briggs, a retired general serving as the British director of operations in Malaya, devised a plan based on the idea that the war was really "a competition in government" that would be won by the side that best protected the people while leaving them free to pursue their lives.
To unify the British efforts, Briggs organized "war committees" in each state and district. While these were officially made up of the state or district governor, his information officer, the police commander, the police intelligence officer and the area's military commander, each committee also had at least one unofficial member from each of the ethnic communities - Chinese, Malay and Indian. Since the governor and the commanders all had to attend each meeting, options could be discussed with advice from all parties, decisions reached and tasks assigned.
With this single innovation, Briggs ensured both unity of effort and consideration of all aspects of society. In keeping with the political nature of the war, all final decisions were made by the senior political leader. It was also important that the military was subordinated to civilian control. Most often the military would provide support to police operations. In addition, all intelligence, even the military operation, was put under the Special Branch, the intelligence agency of the police department.
Such unity of command was vital, and allowed the British to adjust even after the assassination of one high commissioner (the highest-ranking civilian official) and the sudden retirement of Briggs because of illness. Eventually, the top military and civilian posts were consolidated in one man, Gen. Sir Gerald Templer, who methodically and totally cleared each state of insurgents before moving onto the next one.
This well-conceived, well-executed civil-military plan is often referred to as the model for counterinsurgencies. Yet it is worth bearing in mind that, in a situation far less complex than that in Iraq today, it took a decade before the new Malayan government could declare the emergency over.
The incursion into Samarra showed that American and Iraqi forces can work together to cleanse cities of insurgents. But the fight for Iraq will not be resolved by a military offensive lasting a few weeks. While aggressive operations may give the impression of progress, the real issue is providing and sustaining security. Military action can only support the political effort.
The fledgling Iraqi security forces have shown promise in the last week, but they still need time to master the long-term security operations essential to counterinsurgency. We should not push them to take over before they are ready. Americans should be prepared for a lengthy, methodical campaign that clears the insurgents out and establishes Iraqi security and a functioning Iraqi government area by area. Only then should our forces come home.
