Pashtuns Now, Pashtuns Tommorrow,
Pashtuns Forever


The US Military really needs to focus
on the Pashtuns. I see it like Iraq's "Wild West"
there's a real need to recognize
these ethnic divisions in Afghanistan.
The Pashtuns have historically ruled
Afghanistan now for hundreds of years and
I don't see anything changing anytime soon.

I linked an article from Pres. Musharraf
out of the Wall Street Journal.
It's a must read for US Officers
heading to Afghanistan, in my opinion.
Fellas really need to learn Pashtu,
they have to eat, sleep and walk Pashtu.
It's an absolute must, there's no work around
on this issue at all.
Fellas must connect with the Pashtu.
We came in on the wrong side
with the Northern Alliance, in this long
fought Afghani civil war,
that's gone on for more then 30 years now.

If the US Marines can turn it around
in the "Wild West"
I see no reason why they can't do it
in the Pashtun south.
It's their country, their people and their
system of how things work.

This Pashtu Loya Jirga style of democracy
should be played up and not down.
The Afghani central government
is truly corrupt in the eyes of the Pashtu.
They want their own deal
and I have to ask myself:
"Why the fuck not?
Why wouldn't they?"

Give them what they want.

Pashtuns now, Pashtuns tommorrow,
Pashtuns forever.

2.
And these contractors have about 5 to 6 months
to get all this exotic stuff onto the field
for the spring campaigns of 2010.
This coming up summer is when we really need
precision gps mortars, M-ATV's,
this Iron Curtain thing
(which is super expensive)
and whole lot other exotic stuff that
I've been reading about.
We can't wait forever on this shit,
when really need it now.

I would be personally horsewhipping
these contractors or I'd get somebody
else who could do the job.
Zero tolerance on "milking it" for the money.
I want results and I want these contractors
to hustle and get a move on.

Good Luck

"Thou Art Invincible"

Alexander went to Delphi, to consult Apollo
concerning the success of the war.

He happening to come
on one of the forbidden days,
when it was esteemed improper
to give any answer from the oracle.

So he sent messengers
to desire the priestess to do her office;
and when she refused...

On the plea of a law to the contrary,
he went up himself,
and began to draw her by force into the temple,
until tired and overcome with his importunity,

"My son," said she,
"thou art invincible."

- Lucius Mestrius Plutarchus

Bamboozled !

"Looky, Looky, Looky !
Frog hop here!
3 for a dollar!
Just get the frog onto the lilly pad.
Everybody's a winner!"

Now I've seen some cons before,
but the boys at Secret Service got bamboozled!
Egg on the face bamboozled
all by a pair of nice legs.
Michaele Salahi is so smooth, ever so smooth
what ever she did was
an amazing feat of swindling.
What a con!
I have no idea what the con was?
But what ever she did?
It worked.

Fucking A!
The balls on that broad!
Their balls of steel!

Now if I was B?
Motherfucker !
Heads would be rolling!

This is way better than Balloon Boy.
This is the conning of the Secret Service.
The boys who up to now had this perfect run,
all these years,
just for this "got no pants" failure?
What a shame!
The other night was a disgrace
to the whole crew.
No doubt about it.

"Looky Looky Looky
Looky, Looky, Looky
Frog hop here!
3 for a dollar!
Just get the frog onto the lilly pad.
Everybody's a winner!"

Banking On Lamb

Is this the man who will
extricate the West from Afghanistan?

It appears General Graeme Lamb,
the architect of "Sons of Iraq" program,
was recruited out of planned retirement
for the next phase of the Afghan campaign.

I think there's a lot of people banking on Lamb
to pull the fucking impossible off
one more time.
I understand its a team effort but
Lamb had an exceptional guiding hand
in Iraq for US
and now he's looking to play
an even more important role this time
in Afghanistan.

Nato's banking on Lamb to get this right.
Nato's banking on Lamb with
a whole lot of money, men and machine.
And it's not just Nato banking on Lamb
but a whole lot of other people
along with US too.

I have to ask myself:
"Can General Lamb do it again?
Can he turn this thing around?"
(Now he's one cat
I'd like to hear the straight story from.)

If Stan McChrystal "personally wooed" Lamb
to run the ball for us, one more time,
then you know this cat is nobodies fool.
I really want to hear from the architect himself,
reports just don't seem to cut it.

"Hey Lamb, now that you have all
this power and money, but no politikal time,
what exactly are you going to do?"

The Ninth Degree of Humility

The ninth degree of humility
is that a monk restrain his tongue
and keep silence,
not speaking until he is questioned.

For the Scripture shows that
"The talkative man is not stable on the Earth"
(Ps. 139:12).

The Call Of The Dark Side

Commander:
Lord Vader, this is an unexpected pleasure.
We are honored by your presence...

Darth Vader:
You may dispense with the pleasantries, Commander.
I'm here to put you back on schedule.

Commander:
I assure you, Lord Vader.
My men are working as fast as they can.

Darth Vader:
Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate them.

2.
I can't imagine who drop the ball on this one,
but to let an Officer in the United States Army
have a spiritual emissary from darkside is nuts.

This so-called Iman was the same antagonist
who help counsel, inspire and
spiritually guide the 911 attackers.
You really have to ask yourself;
"What the fuck fellas?
What the fuck were you thinking?"

These dark forces are serious business
and they have great and unusual influences on men.
This is a clear case of working with the known enemy.

I can't help but to think again
"What were you thinking?"

3.
I want heads.


A Soldier's Pledge

A soldier is sworn to valor.
A soldier is sworn to honor.
A soldier knows only virtue.

His rifle defends the helpless.
His might upholds the law.
His wrath undoes the wicked.
His words speak only truth.


Justice,
tempered with mercy.

To this I pledge my word,
to this I give my blood,
to my Constitution,
to my President,
and to my Republic.

All of which I swear to protect and defend
from this day forward.

The Way Of The Cross
(I will be Thy valiant soldier.)

I. Jesus is condemned to death.
Thy will, O God, is supreme.
May my one great purpose be to seek it and to follow it.


II. Jesus receives the Cross.
Grant, O divine Saviour,
that I may faithfully fulfill every duty for love of Thee.


III. Jesus falls for the first time under the Cross.
How many times, O Lord,
have I been faithless through sin, to Thee.


IV. Jesus is met by His Blessed Mother.
Mary, my Mother, intercede for me with thy Divine Son.

V. The Cross is laid upon Simon of Cyrene.
Every time I put temptation aside and resist sin
I help Thee, Jesus, to carry Thy Cross.


VI. Veronica wipes the face of Jesus.
Thy suffering was for me.
I will not desert Thee, but always defend Thee.


VII. Jesus falls for the second time.
Forgive me, O merciful Lord, my many, my repeated sins.

VIII. Jesus speaks to the women of Jerusalem.
Thy words of mercy and pardon
gives me fresh hope and confidence.


IX. Jesus falls for the third time.
My sins never discourage me, but lead me to seek
more and more Thy help.


X. Jesus is strip of His garments.
I will be Thy valiant soldier.
My conduct will never shame Thee before men.


XI. Jesus is nailed to the Cross.
Thy commands mean that I should conquer
every unholy desire.
I will conquer in Thy name.


XII. Jesus dies on the Cross.
When my hour comes, may I die bravely,
dear Jesus for Thee.


XIII. Jesus is taken down from the Cross.
In camp, on the march, in battle,
Thou, O Lord, will be my true, though unseen, Comrade.


XIV. Jesus is laid at the sepulchre.
Thee, my eternal Captain, will I always serve.
With Thee I live and with Thee I die.
