Pfc Bradley Manning who is the US Intelligence Analyst responsible for the largest leak of classified information in U.S. history is a step closer to a general court-martial, the Army says, after a second officer signed off on the procedure. There is no way that this young man won’t be court martialed. The Army is [...]
There is new ho-e and confidence in Washington that the war in Afghanistan will end soon. Some think that the Taliban does not really want peace but I am inclined to see things just a little bit differently. They are just as sick of the war as the Americfan public is. They have been taking [...]
The same U.S. Navy SEAL team that killed Osama bin Laden parachuted into Somalia under cover of darkness early Wednesday and crept up to an outdoor camp where an American woman and Danish man were being held hostage. Soon, nine kidnappers were dead and both hostages were freed. These are our SEALs and this is [...]
Pakistani intelligence has intercepted radio communications which indicate that the leader of the Pakistani Taliban may have been killed in a recent U.S. drone strike. The Taliban has denied the death and I don’t know if I believe Pakistani Intelligence at all. Their track record thus far has not been good at all. The claim that the [...]

It’s located in the middle of the swamp but it’s [...]

Soldiers from the powerful Revolutionary Guard practiced ambush tactics in subzero temperatures along the Afghan border. Next month, the Guard’s warships [...]
A Spanish Navy ship captured about half a dozen Somali Pirates when they attempted to hijack it recently. I don’t know why they chose to try to hijack a Navy ship. Either they are just plain lost or kind of mentally retarded. This is not the first time that they have attacked a Navy ship [...]
The deadly U.S. drone campaign in Pakistan’s tribal zone resumed with a missile strike that killed four militants, two months after a NATO raid that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers. The Pakistanis got their panties in a bunch after this incident and banned all drone attacks on their territory. I still believe that the reason that [...]
The Obama administration and the Taliban each voiced readiness Thursday to enter peace talks while pledging to carry on with a decade of military conflict in Afghanistan until their rival objectives are met.
