SSgt Bales will plead guilty to Afghan killings, hope to avoid death penalty

by Jim Emerson, staff writer

In a plea agreement revealed on Thursday, Staff Sgt. Robert Bales has agreed to plead guilty to the killing of 16 Afghan Civilians last year. Bales hopes to avoid the death penalty with the deal. The plea hearing is set for June 5th and the deal has yet to be accepted by the presiding judge. Army prosecutors are seeking the death penalty and from the beginning, Afghan citizens have demanded that Bales be executed. They see the plea deal as breaking a promise. (1)

The deal requires SSgt Bales to present a full account of the murders he committed and prove to the presiding judge that he clearly understands the consequences of the charges against him and of the plea deal. (2) There is no guarantee that the deal will be accepted by the court-martial justice, though at the time of this writing it has been accepted … Continue Reading:SSgt Bales will plead guilty to Afghan killings, hope to avoid death penalty

Chicago’s licensed gun owner “problem” invented to fool the dupes who vote for Democrats

By Kevin “Coach” Collins

Under Chicago’s Police Chief Gary McCarthy and the hack that hired him, Chicago has quickly become Murder City USA. Last year by a substantial amount, more Americans died from gunfire in the Windy City than died in Afghanistan. The gunfire is coming from the violent street gangs that infect the streets of Chicago.

Since they have failed to solve the real problem of gunfire killing people in their streets, the current administration has invented a problem their media pals can fool the dupes that vote for them into thinking they are solving. Their invented problem is: what to do about “dangerous” people who are licensed gun owners?

Since their constituency of public housing dwellers doesn’t count when they complain, honest licensed gun owners who can put a spotlight on their failure to make the streets safe, must be targeted and shut up. Last week McCarthy publicly warned licensed gun owners his officers … Continue Reading:Chicago’s licensed gun owner “problem” invented to fool the dupes who vote for Democrats

The sad state called Afghanistan

by Jim Emerson, staff writer

This week the Taliban said the transfer of U.S. and NATO led security operations to Afghan security forces was similar to America’s retreat from Vietnam by the “declaring victory and run” strategy. The Taliban just needed to learn a little American history to know about the Vietnamization Strategy where the US would train the Afghans to fight their own battles and allow American and NATO to withdrawal with honor. Like the North Vietnamese, the Taliban can already declare victory. Who can blame them with this Administration too busy kowtowing to the Muslim Brotherhood and doing nothing to Iran? Taliban leadership believe that history and time are on their side. (1)

History

American now is repeating the same mistakes the Soviet Union made during their incursion into Afghanistan and, as with the Soviets, no matter the effort expended to modernize the tribal nation it will always fail. Unless the Afghans themselves embrace the West … Continue Reading:The sad state called Afghanistan

Obama will accommodate the American people into slavery

Conflict Resolution 101

Accommodating is the preferred style of conflict resolution often used by the Obama Administration to resolve crisis on the diplomatic stage. Today’s Democrats are too willing to put the needs of terrorists before this country, allies or any other democracies. In fact the only people they see as enemies are American conservatives. Obama will surrender victory in order to maintain peace with people whose only goal is to wipe America off the face of the earth. This White House refuses to do or say anything that might upset America’s enemies; they only want to placate them. In simple terms for the low information voter, Obama wants all Americans to surrender and beg for our lives like a poor animal begging for food, hoping the bad guy won’t kill us.

Rules of Engagement getting American soldiers killed at alarming rate in Afghanistan

by Doug Book, staff writer

“American troops are needlessly exposed to increased enemy attack, suffer unnecessary casualties, cannot secure or control the indigenous population and are not allowed to deny freedom of movement or maneuver to the Taliban.” (1)

This is a portion of an 8 page letter which a Tactical Commander in Afghanistan, Colonel Harry Tunnell wrote to Secretary of the Army John McHugh in August of 2010. Throughout, Tunnell associates what he believes to be unnecessary dangers faced by American troops with the Army’s adoption of its “Counterinsurgency” operational doctrine known as COIN.

Introduced into the Afghan theater of operations by General David Petraeus in July of 2010, COIN includes 24 “points” to US commanders in the field, all based on the belief that “alienating Afghan civilians sows the seeds of our defeat.” (2) In short, the intent of COIN is to “win the hearts and minds of the Afghan people.” (3)

But … Continue Reading:Rules of Engagement getting American soldiers killed at alarming rate in Afghanistan
