O-BOMB-ahh
What this [Afghanistan] country needs is more MARINES, and what Pakistan needs is more covert Xe mercenaries. It will build a better government and add stability??? Paki's have launched an investigation into munitions stored in US [Karachi] Embassy.

With the "republican right" by his side [except they don't like deadlines] and shedding actual democrats like a leaves in November, so he adds more missiles and more troops to the burial ground of empires. Oh and Erik the Prince complains he was mistreated.

Comments on Frank Rich's Column [12/6]

“Along its border,” of course, means across the border — a k a Pakistan. Obama never satisfactorily argued why more troops in Afghanistan, where his own administration puts the number of Qaeda operatives at roughly 100, will help vanquish the far more substantial terrorist strongholds in Pakistan. But even if he had made that case and made it strongly, a larger issue remains: If the enemy in Afghanistan, whether Taliban or Qaeda, poses the same existential threat to America today that it did on 9/11, why is the president settling for half-measures?

RWS: He cannot invade Pakistan overtly. That's why Xe's been so busy. And the Video Game missile attacks continue - can victory be far off?

It’s not just that Obama is fielding somewhat fewer troops than the maximum Gen. Stanley McChrystal requested. McChrystal himself didn’t ask for enough troops to fight a proper counterinsurgency in Afghanistan in the first place. Using the metrics outlined in the sacred text on the subject, Gen. David Petraeus’s field manual, we’d need a minimal force of 568,000 for Afghanistan’s population of 28.4 million. After the escalation, allied forces will reach barely a quarter of that number.

RWS: just keep saying, its sodifferent than NAM, It's so different than NAM - well OK - No Draft.

RE SPRINT' Sharing

Sprint Nextel provided law enforcement agencies with its customers’ (GPS) location information over 8 million times between September 2008 and October 2009. This massive disclosure of sensitive customer information was made possible due to the roll-out by Sprint of a new, special web portal for law enforcement officers.

The evidence documenting this surveillance program comes in the form of an audio recording of Sprint’s Manager of Electronic Surveillance, who described it during a panel discussion at a wiretapping and interception industry conference, held in Washington DC in October of 2009.

WOW when they offer service - they really do!
