In The World
It appears the Afghan forces are not holding up to their end of all the previous training and pay.. American Forces once again are having to provide policing of most of the rural towns and villages for the Taliban. Let’s face it once and for all. The Taliban are not going away. They will continue to be religious zealots hell bent on controlling or killing anyone that doesn’t live their way or follow their rules. Until the world accepts them as a political party or force in that sewer of a country the wars will continue. Followers of Islam have fought there for centuries. Only now it’s about opium and heroin.. Why doesn’t the rest of the world legalize or decriminalize it so that the farmers and drug lords under the Taliban rule will benefit or the entire country of Afghanistan will benefit from the tremendous wealth these terrorist bastards are accumulating. AND every Russian, Pakistani, Iranian, European, and American Drug Dealer is making off the worlds thirst for this terrible drug.
What ever rock Osama Bin Laden has been hiding under in Pakistan he decided to send out a recorded tape this week stating Obama is too week to defeat them in Iraq and Afghanistan.. Word must have just gotten to him that we changed leaders last fall.. Why doesn't he know that this is old news for most military leaders in the world.. Where is Dick Cheney when we need him?
In The US
What a terrible end for that young bride murdered at Yale and her body discovered on her wedding day.. Sounds like some sick bastard or co-worker did not want her to marry the other guy.. Sounds like some sorted triangle and I feel for her family and friends..
It turns our X Governor Rod Blago-sonofabitch has reached out from his hovel and managed to get one of his former fundraisers to commit suicide. A drug overdose sounds pretty convienent for Blago. "I don't know any more than you know, except that a friend of mine took his life because he refused to submit to the pressure by the government to lie about me," Blagojevich told CNN. "And to think that it comes to something like that begs a lot of questions." So he continue to spew his hatred towards the federal government and even wants to post blame. He needs to look into the mirror for a while on that one..
In Texas
Once again the NFL season is upon us and I will continue my undying non-support for that team in Dallas. You know the one with the owner that saw the same plastic surgeon as Michael Jackson did. Anyhow that team beat Tampa this past weekend.
Finally some relief for the suppressive heat and drought here in San Antonio. Some parts of the area seen over 13 inches of rain in the past 6 days. Unfortunately most drivers here have forgotten how to drive in the rain and the body shops are booming this week. Today’s high is only supposed to be 85. We just may have to break out the jackets today.. It’s amazes me how well the A/C works at the grocery stores when it is not over 100 degrees outside.. *go figure*
That is where I see the world from where I’m Sitting.
Peace!
