POPSGermany’s War of Words in Afghanistan It’s war taking place along the Hindu Kush, he explained to the minister. There are good and not-so-good reasons for the German government to shy away from using the word “war” in connection with the killing and dying German soldiers are doing in Afghanistan. It certainly can’t just be the accepted definition of war that is causing the government to so stubbornly reject the term. After all, war can " but doesn’t have to be " a conflict between countries. History tells us that there were innumerable other conflicts that have been referred to as wars. And the Americans have used the word for their operations in Afghanistan for some time. Shouldn’t the deciding factor be how the German soldiers define what they are experiencing? “If we were to talk about war, we would just be focusing on the military dimension,” says Jung to explain his linguistic choice. Apparently, the idea is to not encourage a military escalation with a verbal escalation.

POPSAl-Hopiyah, Al-Changiyah! Ali: Be quiet, I am trying to listen, you donkey. Now, Israel is a strong ally of the United States. They will not stop being a strong ally of the United States. And I will continue to believe that Israel’s security is paramount . . . Ali: “Strong ally.” It is the same from the House Negro as from his white masters, just as Sheikh al-Zawahiri has said. Achmed: No, no, Ali, he said “breakthrough.” What can this mean but uniting Gaza with al-Aqsa in Jerusalem, and sweeping the Jews into the sea at Haifa? Along with their stove-lighting Fatah Shabbat monkeys. Ali: Stop prattling, this part is important. AL ARABIYA : … Let me take a broader look at the whole region. You are planning to address the Muslim world in your first 100 days from a Muslim capital. And everybody is speculating about the capital. (Laughter.) If you have anything further, that would be great. Ali: Ha ha, yes. Which cell of brothers do we activate!?!

POPS Valkyrie For War Czar
that in the event of blood actually being shed, all operations should be immediately terminated and forces extricated in the most humiliating way possible, with strategy to be determined by regular polling. However, that was the 1990s, and we also know that in the post-9/11 era, Clinton briefly grew a set and strongly favored invading the heck out of belligerents who had made her husband look like an ineffective skirt-chaser. It was only the prospect of being president herself that made Hillary turn into a peacenik, but we know from the Democratic primary that Hillary does not give up. She will gouge the eyeballs out of anyone who stands in her way. News reports indicate we are being increasingly quagmirized by a bunch of 19th-century dishcloth-wearing savages in the rocky passes of the Hindu Kush, with al-Qaeda thumbing its aquiline nose from across the border in Waziristan, and the mullahs of Iran insisting on becoming a world-class nuisance, not to mention the Putinistas

POPSThe Anointed One Ventured Forth To Bring Light Unto The World In the great Battles of Caucus and Primary he smote the conniving Hillary, wife of the deposed King Bill the Priapic and their barbarian hordes of Working Class Whites. And so it was, in the fullness of time, before the harvest month of the appointed year, the Child ventured forth - for the first time - to bring the light unto all the world. He travelled fleet of foot and light of camel, with a small retinue that consisted only of his loyal disciples from the tribe of the Media. He ventured first to the land of the Hindu Kush, where the Taleban had harboured the viper of al-Qaeda in their bosom, raining terror on all the world. And the Child spake and the tribes of Nato immediately loosed the Caveats that had previously bound them. And in the great battle that ensued the forces of the light were triumphant. For as long as the Child stood with his arms raised aloft, the enemy suffered great blows and the threat of terror was no more. YouTube video 6:13

POPSSEAL Awarded Medal of Honor There's not a more deserving warrior patriot. I read of his courage under fire as written by the survivor mentioned, his fellow SEAL and best friend, Marcus Luttrell, in his book Lone Survivor. They were all incredible men, thus it was an incredible loss.

POPS"Barney Fife's" Dog Day Afternoon In Phoenix
And what did Arpaio's crack SWAT team net from the raid that left a needless trail of death and destruction? MCSO stormed the house believing there was a cache of stolen automatic weapons and armor-piercing ammunition. But MCSO got bushwhacked. Instead of finding weapons of mass destruction, they discovered an antique shotgun and a 9 mm pistol that appear to be legal weapons. There was no sign of the cop-killer bullets. Perhaps they are buried somewhere out in the desert, with Saddam's plutonium. Given the overwhelming display of force deployed by Arpaio's deputies, one would have expected the arrest of a mass murderer. Instead, the crack SWAT boys nabbed 26-year-old Eric Kush. Let me tell you, Kush is really a bad, bad guy. He was wanted on a misdemeanor warrant for failing to appear in Tempe Municipal Court on a couple of traffic citations. Thank God he's off the street. Well, not quite. He posted his $1,000 bond on the misdemeanor warrant and was quickly released f

POPSDavid Hicks goes green He's a candidate for causes, this one. Bet he's looking forward to New Year's Eve. I'm all for Hicks 'having a go' at being an environmental crusader, can't see the corporate world clamouring for his CV, and he is not allowed to make money from writing his story, so... break a leg. But he does have baggage that risks distracting from his message. "So there I was in the Hindu Kush, taking pot shots at the Indian Army and thinking that something was just not right.... ... then I realised it was the glacier; it was much smaller than in the brochure.

POPSScholars Race to Recover a Lost Kingdom on the Nile Kush is an anomaly to archaeologists because it was a fairly complex society exerting control over 750 miles of the Nile River valley but had no writing system, no extensive bureaucracy and no major urban areas. A rush is underway to discover the mysteries of Kush before they disappear under the rising Nile waters behind a new dam in northern Sudan.
