I drove past this between Salida and Cotopaxi on State Highway 50 in Colorado. I had to turn around and tell whoever that I stood with them totally assuming I was correct. I was and got the biggest hug of appreciation for doing so.

From my understanding, there are close to 3000 children being held around this country after being seized from their parents at the border.

Many will never see their Mom and Dad again because Republicans are totally evil.

You bastards!

Read It And Be Pissed Off

UPDATE 10AM MST: FYI   I see where six of our guys and 12 Afghan civilians have been killed today.

Bits of bull shit from this article.

Slow, deadly road to peace for U.S. troops in Kandahar.

The reason the insurgents are putting up a tough fight in Arghandab is because the district forms a gateway to Kandahar from the north and the militants do not want to give that up.

Instead of launching a massive offensive as in Helmand earlier this year, however, commanders are talking of bringing a slow wave of security to the area with alongside more effective government and backed up with economic development.

"It gets really frustrating trying to walk the line between a counter-insurgency fight and not harming the populace and trying to kill the enemy,"

If there is anything in this piece that is correct it is this.
"In 2007 I was getting blown up and shot at. I come back now and guess what, I'm getting blown up and shot at. Nothing changed,"

Now there is talk of changing the rules of engagement to make it easier for our troops to shoot. The rules will be changed and yes there will be plenty more shooting going on.

And nobody gives a shit here that we have been at this for 10 years and the deaths keep coming ours theirs and everyone else. Congress members beat each other off on both sides of the aisle and appropriate more funds time after time. History of the area and this country of course is not discussed and concern over civilians deaths is there but the same happens daily and nothing changes. We got basketball and hollywood to talk about after all.

They say maybe Monday a new cap "may" stop the gush. Well maybe and let's hope so but til then all we got is squat in the gulf and a country that loves it's perpetual wars because we fear so much so lock and load and let's go get them baddies even though we're not quite sure how to do it. We'll just shoot anyway wtf!

  1. My son Tom is right now on his way from Iraq to Afghanistan to join the fray and it really concerns me.

    I am so sick of hearing the lies about the gulf. They killed the shrimp, shell fish, 75% of the corral, the plankton everything lives on. It is dead thanks to their oxygen depleting dispersant. This is barely beginning and they still just claim stupidity.

  2. As many are I'm so sick of War and what our brave troops have to endure.
    I just don't know why...
    As I've written before we've been in at least 42 Wars and conflicts since the end of WWII. God Damn we must love War.
    Of coures I hope they cap the well. Then I hope they inspect the 27,000 other wells, some abandoned.
    I also hope if we survive this Gulf thing, we learn something. I don't have High Hopes....
