Mortarthon
When you have this many guys loading and dumping water on a mortar tube someone is getting thumped.
Not chasing bad guys
This is sad, fun, and stupid all at the same time. A South Carolina mayor has ordered her police department to stop chasing bad guys citing insurance reasons. So let me get this straight Joe policeman sees a bad guy still a purse, bad guy takes off, policeman says stop, bad guy does not stop and gets away. Smart very Smart
New Word from Mullah Omar
Mullah Omar decided to stick his head up and tell the world to study Afghan history and what happens to invaders of that country. For those that may not know it Afghanistan is known and the destroyer of Empires. While this has a certain amount of truth to it, the important thing is that the Muj from the 80s who formed the kernel of al-Qaeda believe it was them that caused the downfall of the Soviet Union. Belief is a powerful thing as as been seen not only in the jihadi religious convictions but also what they see as they place in the world. Which is to be the dominate force for God.
Not getting it
This week the Obama administration sold out two of our most stalwart new allies, Poland and the Czech Republic. With the removal of the anti-missile defense program being seen as a betrayal by the Poles which was also announced on the 70th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Poland.
To argue that cost is an issue is stupid especially when that $10-15 million missle is tipped with a nuclear warhead. Let me see $70 million for the interceptor to hit a missle that could destroy a large part of a city that seems like a fair trade to me.
Then the next day it is announced by the IAEA that the Iranians are now capable of building nuclear weapons. This announcment was buried in a suppressed report that was only forced out into the open by the FRENCH for crying out loud. This was coupled with a NIE that said that Iran is still 3-5 year away from developing an ICBM. So what is the administration going to do during its last three years in power? My sense is nothing.
The current plan:
The Sec State says that the US has Iran surrounded with troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and a large naval presence in the Persian Gulf. So what does this mean we are going to leave troops in these countries forever? Russia has long said it will not support more sanctions on Iran and this alone will prevent further isolation of Iranian regime due to its veto vote on the Security council. So is there really a plan probably not
Iran with nuclear weapons will be a threat to not only Israel but its Sunni neighbors in the Middle East and Pakistan. This will lead to an arms race in a region of the world rife with instability, unhappy populations, corrupt leaders, and religious hatred that will that may override the urge to not use these weapons.

Pakistan
The TET are at it again attacking a group of Shites as they prepare for the end of Ramadan. Here is a topic I have not heard much on. With Iran well on their way to nuclear weapons and Pakistan with them could this be a new arms race in a very unstable part of the world. I know that the Saudis will freak if Iran gets the bomb but what about Sunni Pakistan?
