HUMOR | ‘We’re Making Real Progress,’ Say Last 17 Commanders In Afghanistan
February 27, 2017‘We’re Making Real Progress,’ Say Last 17 Commanders In Afghanistan, Duffel Blog, February 27, 2017
BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan — The past 17 commanders of international forces in Afghanistan, as well as other US leaders, say the coalition is making “real progress” towards defeating the Taliban insurgency and stabilizing the country, sources confirmed today.
That positive outlook has offered new hope for peace and stability as the current commander, Gen. John Nicholson, looks to deploy “a few thousand” more troops to theater to build upon all the progress that has already been made
Gen. Tommy Franks served as commander of US Central Command from 2000-2003, and was in charge of operations in the Middle East when the Taliban was conclusively defeated in 2002.
“What a difference 10 months makes in a country like Afghanistan,” Franks said in an interview that year. “Taliban’s gone.”
Many other commanders have talked about the incredible progress that has been achieved in Afghanistan, where NATO has crippled the Taliban and put them against the ropes. As most terror analysts note, the terror group can barely hold on after more than 15 years of fighting.
In 2005, Gen. John Abizaid, who succeeded Franks at CentCom, promisingly judged that international activity in Afghanistan had “shown interesting progress.” He also noted the coalition was making progress in “reconstruction projects that showed some tangible progress” and “the cessation of hostilities after 25 years worth of hostilities in the vast majority of the country.”
And Gen. Dan McNeill, who served as commander of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) from 2007-2008, prudently assessed that “there is significant progress in the forward move of the Afghan National Army,” while scrupulously reminding the audience that “NATO’s an interim force in Afghanistan.”
Still, there have been setbacks.
In 2009, Gen. David McKiernan was fired from his post as ISAF commander after brashly stating that the US “must define winning in Afghan terms: meaning improved security, reduced civilian casualties, trustworthy government, economic and social progress.”
He went on to suggest that a satisfactory outcome in Afghanistan would take a decade or more to achieve, despite historical precedent to the contrary and Vice President Dick Cheney’s assertion that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were won back in 2004.
After taking the post from McKiernan, Gen. Stanley McChrystal was rightfully relieved in 2010 after failing to recognize the great progress that was being made.
Fortunately, Gen. David Petraeus replaced McChrystal and masterfully implemented a grand strategy to inject more progress into the campaign for progress. In a letter to the troops in July 2010 he declared, “progress has been achieved in some critical areas, and we are poised to realize more.”
Full progress in Afghanistan was achieved definitively in May 2011 with a high-profile raid that killed Osama bin Laden. Vice President Joe Biden then drove a proverbial stake through the heart of the war when he said in 2012, “we are leaving [Afghanistan] in 2014. Period.”
Gen. John Allen paved the path to victory for his successors, stating in 2013, “I think we are on the road to winning,” as he turned over command to Gen. Joseph Dunford.
Before “Fightin’ Joe” closed out the war in 2014, he offered a more somber assessment, saying, “At this point we have made significant progress, but we are not yet at the point where it is completely sustainable.” He also reassured Americans that though there would be a US presence in Afghanistan after 2014, “the actual fighting on a day-to-day basis will all be done by Afghans.”
And as ISAF transitioned to the Resolute Support Mission (RSM) at the end of 2014, Gen. John Campbell maintained a bright outlook.
“Together, we have lifted the Afghan people out of the darkness of despair and given them hope for the future,” he said during the transition ceremony.
Gen. Nicholson, the current RSM commander, is looking to continue the progress made by his predecessors over the past 15 years. He has big shoes to fill, as at least two presidents and perhaps a dozen commanders have successfully won the war thus far.
But his plans are on track, as he stated in a press briefing in July 2016, “I would say overall our mission in Afghanistan is on a positive trajectory.”
Interestingly, Mullah Mohammed Omar, who served as the sole Taliban leader from 1996 until his death in a jet ski accident in 2013, also says the Taliban is making “real progress” in the region.
Not REALLY Fake News | Worldwide Coven of Witches To Cast Spell On Pres.Trump Fri. Night

Fair is foul, and foul is fair:
Hover through the fog and filthy air. (Macbeth Act 1, Scene 1)
No this is not about another political attack by the likes of Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, and Debbie Wasserman Schultz, we’re talking real witches. Apparently a group of witches are planning to “bind” President Trump in a mass spell-casting action this weekend. Bind? Sounds a bit kinky.
Both the Huffington Post and the Sydney Morning Herald have reported about this mass spell casting. And for those novice witches there is document with instructions for casting a spell on Trump “making the rounds in a number of magical groups” after being “created by a member of a private magical order who wishes to remain anonymous”.
Personally after reading the spell on line, I’m confident it won’t work as doesn’t contain any of the ingredients specified by the witches in Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Act 4, Scene 1:
FIRST WITCH
ROUND ABOUT THE CAULDRON GO; IN THE POISON’D ENTRAILS THROW.
TOAD, THAT UNDER COLD STONE, DAYS AND NIGHTS HAS THIRTY-ONE
SWELTER’D VENOM SLEEPING GOT, BOIL THOU FIRST I’ THE CHARMED POT.ALL THREE WITCHES

EYE OF NEWT AND TOE OF FROG, WOOL OF BAT AND TONGUE OF DOG,
ADDER’S FORK AND BLIND-WORM’S STING, LIZARD’S LEG AND OWLET’S WING,
FOR A CHARM OF POWERFUL TROUBLE, LIKE A HELL-BROTH BOIL AND BUBBLE.ALL THREE WITCHES
DOUBLE, DOUBLE TOIL AND TROUBLE; FIRE BURN AND CAULDRON BUBBLE.THIRD WITCH
SCALE OF DRAGON, TOOTH OF WOLF, WITCHES’ MUMMY, MAW AND GULF

FINGER OF BIRTH-STRANGLED BABE DITCH-DELIVER’D BY A DRAB,
MAKE THE GRUEL THICK AND SLAB: ADD THERETO A TIGER’S CHAUDRON,
FOR THE INGREDIENTS OF OUR CAULDRON.
The anti-Trump spell “A Spell to Bind Donald Trump and All Those Who Abet Him”, is due to be performed, midnight on Friday night (EST) and on “every waning crescent moon until [Trump] is removed from office”. I guess they mean eight years from [now].
A Facebook group has been set up for the spell-in, “attracting an incredible mix of genuine believers in magic and Wicca, as well anti-witch Christians and confused members of the alt-right determined to shut this ungodly thing down.”
The page instructs:
THOSE WISHING TO TAKE PART IN THE SPELL WILL REQUIRE A SMALL, UNFLATTERING PICTURE OF THE US PRESIDENT, AS WELL AS A TAROT CARD (“FROM ANY DECK”), A TINY STUB OF AN ORANGE CANDLE, A PIN OR SMALL NAIL, A WHITE CANDLE (OF ANY SIZE), A SMALL BOWL OR WATER, A SMALL BOWL OF SALT, “ANY” FEATHER”, A BOX OF MATCHES OR A LIGHTER, AND AN ASHTRAY OR A DISH OF SAND. [NOTE: THE DIRECTIONS SPECIFY THAT IF YOU DON’T HAVE THE STUB OF AN ORANGE CANDLE YOU CAN USE A BABY CARROT INSTEAD.]
See what I mean? Not even an eye of the newt!. Let’s see what the president does on Saturday, the day after the spells are cast.

Humor | More Loony leftist nonsense and a response
February 10, 2017More Loony leftist nonsense and a response, Vermont Loon Watch, February 10, 2017
(Fake news which I wish were true. — DM)
Sometimes it is wise to take these crazies seriously and threaten to give them what they want, IN SPADES.
The Canadians know how to handle complaints. Here is an example:
A Canadian female liberal wrote a lot of letters to the Canadian Government, complaining about the treatment of captive insurgents (terrorists) being held in Afghanistan National Correctional System facilities. She demanded a response to her letter.
She received back the following reply:
National Defence Headquarters
M Gen George R. Pearkes Bldg., 15 NT
101 Colonel By Drive
Ottawa , ON K1A 0K2
Canada
Dear Concerned Citizen,
Thank you for your recent letter expressing your profound concern of treatment of the Taliban and Al Qaeda terrorists captured by Canadian Forces, who were subsequently transferred to the Afghanistan Government and Thank you for your recent letter expressing your profound concern of treatment of the Taliban and Al Qaeda terrorists captured by Canadian Forces, who were subsequently transferred to the Afghanistan Government and are currently being held by Afghan officials in Afghanistan National Correctional System facilities.
Our administration takes these matters seriously and your opinions were heard loud and clear here in Ottawa .. You will be pleased to learn, thanks to the concerns of citizens like yourself, we are creating a new department here at the Department of National Defence, to be called ‘Liberals Accept Responsibility for Killers’ program, or L.A.R.K. for short.
In accordance with the guidelines of this new program, we have decided, on a trial basis, to divert several terrorists and place them in homes of concerned citizens such as yourself, around the country, under those citizens personal care. Your personal detainee has been selected and is scheduled for transportation under heavily armed guard to your residence in Toronto next Monday.
Ali Mohammed Ahmed bin Mahmud is your detainee, and is to be cared for pursuant to the standards you personally demanded in your letter of complaint. You will be pleased to know that we will conduct weekly inspections to ensure that your standards of care for Ahmed are commensurate with your recommendations.
Although Ahmed is a sociopath and extremely violent, we hope that your sensitivity to what you described as his ‘attitudinal problem’ will help him overcome those character flaws. Perhaps you are correct in describing these problems as mere cultural differences. We understand that you plan to offer counseling and home schooling, however, we strongly recommend that you hire some assistant caretakers.
Please advise any Jewish friends, neighbours or relatives about your house guest, as he might get agitated or even violent, but we are sure you can reason with him. He is also expert at making a wide variety of explosive devices from common household products, so you may wish to keep those items locked up, unless in your opinion, this might offend him. Your adopted terrorist is extremely proficient in hand-to-hand combat and can extinguish human life with such simple items as a pencil or nail clippers. We advise that you do not ask him to demonstrate these skills either in your home or wherever you choose to take him while helping him adjust to life in our country.
Ahmed will not wish to interact with you or your daughters except sexually, since he views females as a form of property, thereby having no rights, including refusal of his sexual demands. This is a particularly sensitive subject for him.
You also should know that he has shown violent tendencies around women who fail to comply with the dress code that he will recommend as more appropriate attire. I’m sure you will come to enjoy the anonymity offered by the burka over time. Just remember that it is all part of respecting his culture and religious beliefs’ as described in your letter.
You take good care of Ahmed and remember that we will try to have a counselor available to help you over any difficulties you encounter while Ahmed is adjusting to Canadian culture.
Thanks again for your concern. We truly appreciate it when folks like you keep us informed of the proper way to do our job and care for our fellow man. Good luck and God bless you.
Cordially,
Gordon O’Connor
Minister of National Defence
