Adolescent Boys Used as Sex Slaves by Powerful Men in ‘Anti-Homosexual” Muslim Afghanistan

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Blogmocracy in Action

Guest Blogger: Moe Katz

Young Afghan boys are taken from their families, made to dance in women’s costumes, and raped by prominent men in a widespread, centuries-old practice that is disapproved of by Muslim scholars but nonetheless tolerated in that war-torn society. By their later teens, many of these boys will end up as male homosexual prostitutes earning scarce money for their families:

Despite the dangers, they continue to dance, making $30 for the night — a night that usually ends in assault — because they say it is the only thing they know and their only way to make money. There are no opportunities in Afghanistan for people like them.
And once branded as men who danced as women, there is no turning back.
“We are not happy with this line of work,” Jamel said. “We say that it would be better if God could just kill us rather than living like this.”

Obama Lied and People Died

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Good morning Blogmocracy Netizens! I hope everyone is well, I am under the weather a bit which is why I have not been posting much. As usual I have to bring grim news of the antics of our Progressives leaders.

Our Radical Totalitarian Progressive president Barack Hussein Obama, lied during the 2008 campaign. He discussed how important Afghanistan was and that he would do what it takes to win. After approving an initial increase earlier this year, the situation is deteriorating. The Taliban is on the offensive and they are taking advantage of the new Rules of Engagement Obama imposed this year. Obama also is dragging out his decision whether to approve Gen. McChrystal’s request for more troops. While all this is happening ,our troops are dying and their frustration is rising.

WASHINGTON — Only nine months ago, the Pentagon pronounced itself reassured by the early steps of a new commander in chief. President Obama was moving slowly on an American withdrawal from Iraq, had retained former President George W. Bush’s defense secretary and, in a gesture much noticed, had executed his first military salute with crisp precision.

But now, after nearly a month of deliberations by Mr. Obama over whether to send more American troops to Afghanistan, frustrations and anxiety are on the rise within the military.

A number of active duty and retired senior officers say there is concern that the president is moving too slowly, is revisiting a war strategy he announced in March and is unduly influenced by political advisers in the Situation Room.

Read the rest.

Obama promised victory and that he would take the advise of the generals. Clearly this is not the case and our soldiers are suffering because of his indecision.They are fighting with little Air or Artillery support. They are unsure if their Commander in Chief supports them.

Obama lied and people have died!

If the Taliban win, there goes the neighbourhood

Friday, October 16th, 2009

Blogmocracy in Action

Guest Blogger: Moe Katz

Retired Canadian Major General Lewis Mackenzie explains why Canada (and by extension, the U.S.)  needs to remain in Afghanistan: The terrifying possibility of  a nuclear-armed Taliban in both Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The reality is that al-Qaeda doesn’t need a “headquarters” or traditional training camps any more – the Internet has provided a far more effective means of organizing attacks. Since 9/11, the movement has metastasized: Dedicated freelance supporters of poster boy Osama bin Laden are recruited, trained and assigned via the Web. Just witness the London Underground and Madrid bomb attacks.

So, if this is the case, then Canadians can be forgiven for asking why we are still in Afghanistan. Well, here’s the real reason: the neighbourhood.

The doomsday scenario that would follow a Taliban resumption of power in Afghanistan is much deadlier today than it was in 1989 when the Russians were evicted. Once firmly established as the government in Kabul, the Taliban could and would focus their energies and talents on the real prize, Pakistan, where their brothers in arms have managed to advance, in one case, within 100 kilometres of the capital, Islamabad. With Afghanistan under their control, a reinforced Taliban would have greater potential to close that gap and bring the control of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal and delivery systems within reach.

Obama roundup

Obama vows “relentless” U.S. pursuit of al Qaeda

“It should now be clear — the United States and our partners have sent an unmistakable message: We will target al Qaeda wherever they take root; we will not yield in our pursuit; and we are developing the capacity and the cooperation to deny a safe haven to any who threaten America and its allies.”

Obama Faces ‘War of Appeasement’ in Washington Over Afghanistan Strategy

Obama and his policy advisers are debating whether to escalate the conflict after already sending 21,000 more troops to Afghanistan earlier this year; that discussion is certain to take center stage when he hosts the members of Congress in the White House Tuesday.

In a 66-page document leaked to the Washington Post, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, wrote that tens of thousands more troops are needed to address a “deteriorating” security situation and maintain stability in the region. And during an Oct. 1 visit to London, McChrystal said that “a strategy that does not leave Afghanistan in a stable position is probably a short-sighted strategy.”

But the president’s National Security Adviser, Gen. Jim Jones, offered a stark difference of opinion on the 9-year-old war on Sunday, saying he doesn’t foresee the return of the Taliban.

“I want to be very clear that Afghanistan is not in danger, imminent danger of falling,” Jones told CNN’s “State of the Union,” adding that a troop surge is “just one option.”

Our R.O.E. And Lack Of Support In Afghanistan Is Killing Our Marines!

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

“We are pinned down. We are running low on ammo. We have no air. We’ve lost today.”

While I was driving home in the rain and heavy traffic Friday evening, my mood was quickly downgraded to that of thoroughly PO’ed.

I was listening to Mark Levin and he was in full outrage mode, rightfully so, as he read a report from 8 Sep ‘09.

‘We’re pinned down:’ 4 U.S. Marines die in Afghan ambush.

There are many aspects of this story that are infuriating, and I encourage you to read it all. A few items from this story I find not only infuriating, but inexplicable, as well.

Where was the air support they were promised would be only minutes away?

The first shot cracked out at 5:30 a.m., apparently just as the four Marines and the Afghan unit to which they were attached reached the outskirts of the village. It quickly swelled into a furious storm of gunfire that we realized had been prepared for our arrival.
*****
It was now 7:10 a.m., and with the helicopters prowling overhead and firing into the hillsides, the incoming gunfire slackened enough for us to move again.

Where was the artillery support they were promised, when they were following the restrictive R.O.E., and why wasn’t the artillery support supplied with appropriate rounds?

How can our troops be expected to have confidence in their missions if they know they won’t get the support they deserve and expect?

As a result from this FUBAR, four of our Marines were killed that day, and three others were wounded, along with the Afghan troops.

I can point fingers in many directions, but the main culprit in this is directed at our president.
Jennifer Rubin says it best:

This may be the most damning, but not the only, indication that the president doesn’t have his heart in this. There’s the aversion to persuing “victory.” And the leaking game over troop levels and various options also suggests the “do what it takes” sentiment is not in full flower. A robust commitment to military victory does not come naturally to Obama.

That our troops are at the tip of the spear in the GWOT, and don’t receive everything they need to engage the fight properly, is a disgrace on many levels.

For our Marines killed that day, and their loving families, I extend my deepest sympathy, and gratitude for their service.

Obama Censors General’s Afghanistan report

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

Good Morning everyone! I hope your morning is well, as always I have to be the bearer of bad news.

Our Community Organizer in Chief Barack Hussein Obama is in over his head in Afghanistan. As a Transnationalist Progressive his instinct is cut a deal with the Taliban and withdraw, after all Islamo-Fascist and Leftist are allies. However, he campaigned on sending more troops to Afghanistan and this has put him in a box. His Leftist base is against the war because they sympathized with the Taliban. The Right is turning against the war, because they don’t trust Obama to use the right military strategy.

As Obama can’t decide what to do, the Taliban has become more sophisticated and is taking advantage of the rules of engagement Obama has put in place. They are making advances and we don’t have enough men to defeat them. A report by Gen. Stanley McChrystal has been put together to to come up with battle plan for Afghanistan. However, it is being censored and edited before its even release.

THE classified status report from Afghanistan by Gen. Stanley McChrystal was censored by the White House before its submission. As a result, it’s all bun and no burger.

According to multiple (angry) sources, McChrystal — our top soldier on the ground — intended to ask for 28,000 more US troops. A presidential hatchet man directed the general not to make the request: Troop increases would be “addressed separately.”

Worried about his poll numbers, our president’s making a bad situation worse. He’s given McChrystal the impossible mission of turning Afghan Flintstones into Jetsons, while starving him of means.

This violates a fundamental principle of the American way of war: Once the president assigns the mission, the commander must receive due consideration when he asks for the necessary resources.

Obama’s message to McChrystal was “Just don’t ask.”

Read the rest.

Ralph Peter’s article is spot on and correct, this is not a way to run a war or achieve victory. The Generals must be allowed to develop plans that reflect the reality on the ground. Obama is not interested in this, his mindset doesn’t understand the concept of military victory. President Hussein is a political animal who is only tough on the domestic opposition and not foreign enemies. He sympathizes with Islamo-Fascists and he doesn’t have it in his heart to destroy them.

Obama is not a Commander in Chiefe, he is a political animal that cares only for himself and the goals of the Totalitarian Progressive Movement. He wants to destroy his Domestic enemeis because he views Conservatives/Libertarians as the threat to America, not Islamists. Our brave Men and Women in uniform deserve a better leader than this Joker as their leader.

The Worsening Afghanistan Situation

Monday, August 24th, 2009

The War in Afghanistan is deteriorating every week. The Taliban are now becoming more sophisticated in their attacks and tactics. They have safe havens in Pakistan, which they use for cross border attacks into Afghanistan. The Afghan Government is corrupt and increasingly unpopular. Only the troops from US/UK/Australia/Canada doing any real fighting. The rest of NATO are doing absolutely nothing are useless in this war. Public support in the US/UK is falling, in other words it’s a perfect storm!

BAGRAM, Afghanistan — Military commanders with the NATO mission in Afghanistan told President Barack Obama’s chief envoy to the region this weekend that they did not have enough troops to do their job, pushed past their limit by Taliban rebels who operated across borders.

The commanders emphasized problems in southern Afghanistan, where Taliban insurgents continue to bombard towns and villages with rockets despite a new influx of U.S. troops, and in eastern Afghanistan, where the father-and-son-led Haqqani network of militants has become the main source of attacks against U.S. soldiers and their Afghan allies.

Read the rest.

The problem is the other NATO nations like Germany and France are not pulling their weight. The reason for this is their increasing Muslim population and the ingrained Progressive mindset of their establishments. America/UK/Australia/Canada can’t carry the load by themselves.

Admiral Mullen also expressed his concerns on NBC’s Meet the Press of the deterioration. He also expresses the fall in public support in the US.

WASHINGTON, Aug 23 (Reuters) – The situation in Afghanistan is deteriorating along with U.S. public support for the war, Washington’s top military officer said on Sunday as he left open the possibility of another increase in troops.

“I think it is serious and it is deteriorating, and I’ve said that over the past couple of years — that the Taliban insurgency has gotten better, more sophisticated,” said Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff.

U.S. combat deaths have risen since U.S. President Barack Obama ordered a troop buildup to confront a resurgent Taliban, with a record 44 U.S. troops killed in Afghanistan in July.

A new Washington Post-ABC News poll showed a majority of Americans believe the war in Afghanistan is not worth fighting, and just a quarter say more troops should be sent there.

“Certainly the numbers are of concern,” Mullen said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” But he later added, “this is the war we’re in.”

Read the rest.

The fact is the momentum is with the Arabist Taliban Movement in the Afghan War. Obama is not a good war leader and is the wrong person to have as Commander in Chief in this situation. Elections have consequences and we are seeing that.

Personally, I don’t know if this war is worth it anymore. The Afghan People are not stepping up to the plate. It is their nation and they should be at the forefront of taking on the Taliban. Why do we have to bleed for others?

What is the opinion around here?

Is this War worth it?

Let’s discuss this.

New US battle rule: No fighting near Afghan homes

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

I can’t think of a better way to guarantee that more Afghan civilians will be taken as hostages by Islamofascist terrorists.

The top U.S. general in Afghanistan will soon formally order U.S. and NATO forces to break away from fights with militants hiding in Afghan houses so the battles do not kill civilians, a U.S. official said Monday.

The order would be one of the strongest measures taken by a U.S. commander to protect Afghan civilians in battle. American commanders say such deaths hurt their mission because they turn average Afghans against the government and U.S. and NATO forces.

Civilian casualties are a major source of friction between Afghan President Hamid Karzai and the U.S. The U.N. says U.S., NATO and Afghan forces killed 829 civilians in the Afghan war last year.

Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who took command of international forces in Afghanistan this month, has said his measure of effectiveness will be the “number of Afghans shielded from violence,” and not the number of militants killed.

McChrystal will issue orders within days saying troops may attack insurgents hiding in Afghan houses if the U.S. or NATO forces are in imminent danger and must return fire, said U.S. military spokesman Rear Adm. Greg Smith.

“But if there is a compound they’re taking fire from and they can remove themselves from the area safely, without any undue danger to the forces, then that’s the option they should take,” Smith said. “Because in these compounds we know there are often civilians kept captive by the Taliban.”

I’m against collateral civilian casualties as much as the next guy, but this is one of the best ways I can imagine to cause even more Afghan civilians to be put into harm’s way by the Taliban.  This move basically rewards bad behaviour and will encourage even more of the same.   

Taliban – “The Americans won’t shoot at us because we have these civilian hostages with us?  Great!  We’ll take more, and take them with us everywhere we go!  Allah be praised!”

Maybe a better way to win the hearts and minds of the Afghan people is to remind them that the hostage-taking is why civilians are endangered in the first place?

Afghanistan now is Obama’s war

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

Gen. David McKiernan, commander of NATO forces in Afghanistan has been asked by Defense Secretary Robert Gates to resign.  This was done because of the deteriorating situation there. By doing this, it is now Obama’s war, since they are calling for a new strategy.

It’s Obama’s War Now

Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced this afternoon that he has “asked for the resignation” of Gen. David McKiernan, commander of NATO forces in Afghanistan, and that he plans to replace him with Gen. Stanley McChrystal.

This is a very big deal.

McKiernan’s ouster signals a dramatic shift in U.S. strategy for the war in Afghanistan. And it means that the war is now, unequivocally, “Obama’s war.” The president has decided to set a new course, not merely to muddle through the next six months or so.

Afghanistan now belongs to Obama. He can no longer blame Bush for what is going on there.  It will be his plans that succeed or fail.

USO In A Box

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

I got this email from the USO…

*************************************************************

email_usobox_r4

You’re on patrol on the Afghan-Pakistan border. You keep your head on a swivel and your eyeballs clickin’. When you return to the FOB (Forward Operating Base), you still can’t let your guard down.

There’s no place to relax… no chance to get away from the war… no way to call home — to tell your wife you love her — to hear the magic sound of your kids’ voices.

Until now…

The USO has just invented a new kind of USO Center. It’s portable. It can be trucked or airlifted anywhere on Earth, even to the smallest FOB on the most remote mountaintop. It’s really a “ruggedized” container (like you see on the back of a trailer-truck), designed especially for combat service.

In less than 20 minutes, it converts to two comfortable rooms, offering wireless internet access, two computer stations, a flat screen TV with DVD player and three Xbox® 360 game consoles. Best of all, soldiers can call home and talk as long as they like, free of charge. All in a fully air-conditioned unit, powered by its own generator.

We’ve already shipped three USO’s-in-a-Box to Afghanistan. The Army has asked for four more. Each one costs $350,000 to build, outfit, and deliver to the Front. We therefore need to raise $1.4 million right now to get the new “Boxes” to the Front.

But we can’t do it without your help.  Please give whatever you can – any amount will help us reach our goal.

The men and women of our Armed Forces have given so much of themselves. Now we can give them something priceless in return… a few precious moments to be “at ease” and to warm their hearts with a touch of home. Please give what you can.

DON’T JUST SAY YOU SUPPORT THE TROOPS….DO IT

Here is the direct link to the USO. You can donate right from that page.

I’m sending them a donation this payday.

UPDATE:

I just donated to them in honor of my Dad who served in the Korean War.
