The afghan issue will blow over extremely fast, methods which are being used are so black ops that the color black seems white.
Every human needs food and water, guess which one is being traced and imaged from global hawks mapping to and from locations.

A great post SKL - S&F'd
I share your frustration mate at the grotesque level of inaction.
And the irony is, the more one fights for "freedom", or whatever catch-cry they decide to use, the higher the number of victims of slavery!
As I said on the related post, I have some ideas on what could be done - but they are best shared over a beer or two with you when you visit the farm

I guess the politicians seem to have some trouble understanding the idea of a WAR. We don't want to date the Taliban or make nice with Al Qaeda, we want to win. Or at least those of us who are not pushing for and praying for America's destruction.
Whatever happened to the good old concept of "Search and Destroy?" Let the military do whatever they have to to win this god awful war and be done with it.

Just for the record, you can be an insurgent in your own country.
That is what they are calling then in Iraq as well.
If you rebel and fight against your government, you become an insurgent.

You got it in one mate
Forgive my vaguness as their are some geo-political constraints on what I can say, but in if you are living in the West, you may find it hard to appreciate the enormity of the game SpartanKingLoenidas has so eloquently summarised in the above quote.
Come to my nick of the woods (I'm not in the West at the moment), and you'll gain a very frightening appreciation for what SKL is getting at.
Once again, a great - and very poignant post
