Yes,the son is in the USMC and the grandson is in the USAF and the grandson was wounded. Go figure.

Like everyone else, God has a thing for Marines too.

J,

Perhaps it’s just moving supply closer to demand. Cross-border terrorist fucktards demand killing, NATO forces happy to supply it.

The less distance the fucktards have to travel, the less mess to clean up later.

“…The Times of London reports that the US has massed troops along the border in order to strike into areas essentially ungoverned by the Pakistanis, targeting Taliban and al-Qaeda bases.

I find this rather curious…when BHO suggested he might consider this sort of action much earlier; posters here and McCain’s campaign referred to such action as totally irresponsible. It would appear the merit of some proposals or action is based on where it is “invented” and not its actual intent?

“…I suspect that in the wake of this week’s attack it was seen that bolstering existing posts was advisable and that is why you see these troops moving.

Perhaps the cross-border attack in Kunar has generated enough mental heat for planners to toss political implications or considerations aside; if that’s the case I find their reasoning very flawed.

It was and has been my experience to never react out of anger or revenge. Anger clouds the mind.

Wow, there we go again. This is exactly why I can’t stand Liberals. The disdain, the hatred for anyone stupid enough to join the military. America’s true heroes. America’s true warriors, and this lil piece of scum says they rely upon the U.S. military for a regular welfare check…

Personally, I’m done with this alphie creature.

Maybe we shouldn’t have funded the Taliban in the first place?

Or chased them into Pakistan?

Oh, well…close enough for government work.

Hindsight? If we want to go down that road, then maybe your mom should have aborted you. That way we wouldn’t have had to deal with your childishness.

Oh well. I guess (to her) having you seemed like a good idea at the time. I’m not aware of any better criterion to make decisions by.

At least you won’t have to worry about any of your own grandkids having to clean up any messes. Unless you get off the liberal, spineless bandwagon, you’ll stay neutered.

US abandons Afghan outpost where 9 troops died.

My thought would be they’re movin’ these troopers south for the incursion.

Who could have predicted that giving money and arms to radical groups could ever lead to problems down the road, eh?

Synapses clogged up there, alpo?

alpo, good to see you’re just as brain dead as ever.

It’s a big gamble, but the status quo is unacceptable.

SHIITE…roll the dice!

But what some people don’t really understand is that there are about 160 million Pakastanis in a country a little less then the size of Texas and about 30 million in Afghanistan.

That’s an insane amount of crazy people in really close proximity to each other… in all seriousness that’s a bad thing.

Lazy? Do you think that you could make it through USMC boot camp? And our soldiers are smart enough to make the enemy fight when and where we want, and our military is kicking ass.

..Pakistani Army and its spy agency had become “the world’s biggest producers of terrorism and extremism.”

*Emphasis mine

This is basically self-evident to the about 1.8 billion people who live on the sub-continent (India, Afghanistan, and Pakistan…among others). How we’re all just coming to this conclusion now, is beyond my understanding.

Even I’ve mentioned it on here before and I am sure I mentioned it on my site as well.

How Christian of you…

Bad mouthing Christians now, huh?

Lazy? Do you think that you could make it through USMC boot camp? And our soldiers are smart enough to make the enemy fight when and where we want, ahd our military is kicking ass.

You truly are lost.

How Christian of you…

The rest of us may figure out that bribing and arming radical groups is just creating future make work jobs for people who can’t make it in the private sector.

alphie on July 16, 2008 at 12:13 PM

You vile loathesome maggot, why don’t you name these “people who can’t make it in the private sector”?

Filthy coward.

I did four years in the Marines, and you know how many liberals I served with? One or two. Why don’t liberals serve, alphie boy? Because you are empty creatures without souls. While you are enjoying your hollow abstraction of a life, better men than you are hauling your load. Enjoy your free ride, creep.

The rest of us may figure out that bribing and arming radical groups is just creating future make work jobs for people who can’t make it in the private sector.

KABUL, July 16 (AP) – (Kyodo)—The U.S.-led alliance force countered attacks by militants who entered Afghanistan, killing about 150 of them in the southeastern province of Paktika, the provincial governor said Wednesday.

Around 300 militants entered the province’s Barmal district from Pakistan late Tuesday and attacked police posts, Gov. Akram Khpalwak said.

The U.S.-led alliance force and Afghan army soldiers countered them by using attack helicopters and artillery, according to media reports.

The alliance force is helping Afghanistan fight an insurgency led by the Taliban.

They are pouring out of Pakistan.

Communism looks pretty tame in retrospect.

So if we’re going to cross the border and kick some ass, we better go in there and go for broke and not stop until the mission is actually ACCOMPLISHED. We, and NATO, had damn well better lay waste to any and all terrorists and their enclaves as well as make damn sure that any and all nukes are accounted for and SECURED… or there will be hell to pay for far longer than any of us here will be drawing breath.
