AFGHANISTAN: THE FATE OF THE WAR RESTS ON WHAT HAPPENS IN KANDAHAR


Time Magazine has posted a story on what lies ahead for U.S. and NATO forces as they push into the Taliban stronghold of Kandahar, Afghanistan.
The U.S. has been successful in building schools, but there aren't any teachers to teach in the schools
The Afghan Army is still a work in progress and spend the better part of their time protecting Afghan citizens than fighting the Taliban.
The mission and the fate of Afghanistan could very well rest on what happens over the next few weeks or months as U.S. and NATO forces launch an all out effort to capture Kandahar.

BILL O'RELLY, FOX NEWS, SOUNDS OFF ON "DON'T ASK, DON'T TELL"


Bill O'Reilly like everyone else on Fox News has his facts all wrong when he suggests in this story and video that repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" in the military will "cause severe morale problems."

Media Matters points out how what O'Reilly stated is not true when it comes to other countries who don't have a problem with gays in the military.

"WAR"---SEBASTIAN JUNGER'S NEW BOOK


Next month Sebastian Junger's new book, "WAR," will be released and it is bound to be a best-seller.

Junger was embedded with the 173rd Airborne in the dangerous Korengal Valley of Afghanistan and in his new book he talks about what he saw and how our troops are handling themselves in the God-forsaken country of Afghanistan.

Publisher's weekly reviews Junger's book here and I would strongly suggest you read the review as a way of finding out what really is happening in Afghanistan.

Here is the link to the review:

TIME TO REMEMBER WHO STARTED THESE WARS


The 24-hour news media and mostly FOX NEWS have conveniently forgotten who started both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars that have cost over 5,300 Americans killed and a cost of $9 BILLION a MONTH that was never figured into the budget.

PINK performs the hit recording, "DEAR MR. PRESIDENT," as a reminder for all those who have forgotten just how all this crazy war crap started and who was behind it with their lies in this salute to our men and women in the service.

President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney were the scoundrels who lied us into war and it should never be forgotten what they did.
