We are honoured that such as he choose to put themselves in harm's way to keep us free. However imperfectly, let us work to be worthy of that trust.
Nato leaders have endorsed on Saturday a plan to start handing Afghan forces command of the war next year with the aim of ceding full control by 2014
"We have launched the process by which the Afghan people will once again become masters in their own house," Nato secretary general Anders Fogh Rasmussen told a news conference following a summit of Allied leaders in Lisbon.
Hamid Karzai, the Afghan president, signed the plan along with Mr Rasmussen and Ban Ki-moon, the United Nations secretary general.
Earlier alliance leader suggested that Natos plan to wind down its combat mission was not set in stone, casting doubt on David Camerons fixed deadline for a British withdrawal.
Despite Western leaders eagerness to leave Afghanistan, the Nato timetable remains conditional, dependent on the ability of the Kabul government to secure the country against the Taliban.
The Obama administration made clear that 2014 was only an aspirational goal and Natos secretary-general warned the West must remain committed in Afghanistan as long as it takes.
A senior Nato official also warned of inevitable setbacks in the work to complete transition by the end of 2014.

"What message do you think all the super-special important stuff you've done here (PBUH) sends to those awful Mitch McConnell-led Rethuglican neanderthals?"

Maybe because the Viet Cong weren't actively attempting to blow up US civilians at home. Nor was Vietnam positioned such that its fall added a cornerstone to a strategically important arc of such activities.

Isn't this true even if the claim of ignorance is totally implausible?
With all those little villages up in the hills, where everyone including the imam is illiterate, and marauders have been raiding since the beginning of time... it's easy not to know what the ultimate cause of things is, I should think. But in the less isolated parts? You make sense there, Omaing White7048.

You willing close your eyes to the power of the Bilderbergers on the hill people?
Dear Zombie Hillary Lover, I cannot possibly comment on the Bilderbergers until we have been properly introduced. For that matter, who exists who could properly introduce even a single Bilderberger, with bloodlines that trace back no further than the Middle Ages, to people who had held that land for centuries before Alexander the Great paid his little visit to the region? Really the situation would be quite, quite impossible.
[Emirates 24/7] A Saudi prince was injured and his uncle killed when their cars slammed into each other due to a fault by their drivers, a local daily reported on Friday.
Prince Abdul Aziz bin Turki bin Saud (senior) suffered from a fracture in his hand and bruises on the body after the crash that occurred in Ramah, nearly 120 km northeast of the capital Riyadh, on Wednesday night Alsaudi newspaper said.
His uncle (mother's brother), Sheikh Saud bin Mohammed bin Awad Al Dousari, was killed in the accident that was caused when the Prince's car smashed into a Toyota four-wheel vehicle driven by the uncle's body guard.
"The Prince's car overturned, causing a fracture in his arm and bruises on the body....his bodyguard was also injured," the paper said, with saying whether the Prince is related to the royal family.

North Korea appears to be weighing two options: conducting a third nuclear test or building a light-water nuclear reactor. Japanese media on Thursday quoted a Japanese government official as saying North Korea appears to be "preparing for a nuclear test" by building a new shaft at its test facility in Punggye-ri. "This is clearly visible through satellite images. It would not be surprising if North Korea conducts a nuclear test at any time," he said.
Jack Pritchard, the president of the Korea Economic Institute in Washington who visited Pyongyang earlier this month, said Tuesday that a North Korean official he met in Yongbyon said the North was building a 100 MW light-water reactor.
But based on these developments alone it is difficult to say what North Korea is planning. A Cheong Wa Dae official said, "North Korea is up to something, but we don't expect anything to happen right now." Judging from the depth of the shaft that has been dug so far, it will apparently take three to six more months before a nuclear test can be conducted, while the light-water nuclear reactor is slated for completion in 2012.
North Korea has a history of turning to its nuclear option whenever it faces adverse conditions. At the moment the regime's top priority is to consolidate the grip on power of Kim's son and heir Jong-un. "It's highly likely that North Korea will use its nuclear program, which symbolizes the 'Songun' or military-first doctrine, to bolster Kim Jong-un's status," said a South Korean intelligence official.
Seoul is watching out for a third nuclear test. But skeptics say North Korea would not put China in such an awkward situation at a time when Beijing's influence on the North has increased following the sinking of the South Korean Navy corvette Cheonan.
They'll do whatever the Chinese tell them to do.
Yet Jeon Sung-hoon of the Korea Institute for National Unification said, "China believes North Korea has nuclear weapons and treats them as a separate issue in dealing with the North. China will not abandon North Korea even if it conducts a third nuclear test."
After formally announcing Kim Jong-un's position as heir to the leadership on Sept. 29, the North's chief representative to the UN Pak Kil-yon vowed the country will strengthen its "nuclear deterrent."
South Korean authorities appear far less concerned about the light-water reactor. "It's not easy to build a light-water reactor," said Suh Kune-yull, a professor at the Department of Nuclear Engineering at Seoul National University. "It would be difficult for North Korea to build one from scratch unless it manages to steal the necessary technology from overseas."
Many experts think the reactor may be a Potemkin village. During the late 1990s, North Korea dug a massive underground tunnel in Kumchang-ri near Yongbyon, and the U.S. raised suspicions that it was building a large underground nuclear facility and met with North Korean officials in New York in February of 1999. U.S. investigators traveled to North Korea in May the same year to inspect the installation but found only empty caves. North Korea nonetheless received hundreds of thousands of tons of food aid.
That is why experts think North Korea is using the light-water reactor threat to boost its leverage ahead of a possible resumption of six-party nuclear talks.

My first military flap for rapid deployment came in 69 during a flare up with these mopes, and they have been playing the one-trick pony card of threatening and rattling the west every year or so to get goodies. Ignore them and they threaten, appease them and they never stop grasping for more, and always cheat and counterfeit and abuse every international protocol to sustain the leadership and the army.
Their people are inches shorter now due to chronic multigenerational malnutrition, and we keep buying the BS. STOP talking to the asshats and stop feeding them and sink their damn smuggling ships and watch how quickly they actually fold. If they do unleash their "sea of fire" it will horrific and short and over with a mix of US airpower/seapower and SKOR infantry and armor winning the day. We have sustained these slimeballs with appeasement long enough. All they ever do with the food is feed the army.... yet after 60 years we keep looking for a pony in the horseshit....
The Agostinho Neto Center of Culture is a massive national park that the Angolan government is building on 12,000 sq. m of land in the capital city Luanda in memory of its first president. On Oct. 24, the entrance was firmly shut with a black iron gate. Through barred windows, three or four Asian workers could be seen: they are staff of North Korea's Mansudae Overseas Project Group of Companies, which earns much-needed foreign currency for the regime from massive construction projects and monumental sculpture in the developing world.
Initially, the Agostinho Neto Center was commissioned to a Brazilian construction company, but work came to a halt until the North Koreans took over at the end of 2007.
The North Korean workers are living together in temporary wooden accommodation in a corner of the construction site. There are reportedly 100 to 120 of them in Angola. North Korea supported independence movements and civil wars of some African countries, and has been involved in some large construction projects there based on the diplomatic ties built this way. The North provided military aid to the side currently in power during the Angolan civil war and is reportedly building other parks and peace monuments in Cabinda and Huambo, one or two hours away by plane from Luanda.
The Daily NK reported North Korea has earned at least US$160 million in construction projects in Africa since 2000. A South Korean resident in Angola said, "Although North Korean workers only get minimum living cost from their government, they make additional money by working on smaller-scale projects locally when they have some spare time waiting for equipment or materials to arrive."
One North Korean worker said, "When we go to the site for work, we sometimes get Angolan traditional congee called Fungi. It's delicious.
Yum ...
"We eat better here than in North Korea because we can get rice from Chinese construction firms."
In a predominantly black residential area in Luanda, there is a pharmacy run by a North Korean doctor in a shabby one-story building. "I work at a national hospital in the morning, and run this pharmacy privately in the afternoon. This is the only way I can make the ends meet," he said.
According to a local source, there are about 180 North Korean doctors across Angola, including about a dozen in Luanda. There are also North Korean doctors in Mozambique and Congo, and some practice oriental medicine. At the pharmacy, acupuncture costs $80 for the first treatment and $40 thereafter.

It's ironic that President Obama's only major trade export success has been through selling arms to India and SA. How's that Nobel Peace Prize workin' for ya now?
The video says that a typical French family has 1.8 children but that French Muslim families have 8.1 children. No source is given for this information and the French government doesn't collect statistics by religion. So it is impossible to say what the precise fertility rates among different religious groups in France are. But no country on earth has such a high fertility rate and in Algeria and Morocco, the two nations which send the largest numbers of Muslim immigrants to France, the fertility rate is 2.38, according to the UN's 2008 figures.
In the Netherlands, according to the video, half of all newborns are Muslim, and in 15 years half the population will be Muslim.
But the Dutch office of statistics estimates that Muslims make up only 5% of the population. For Dutch Muslim women to produce half the nation's babies, they would have to be giving birth at at least 14 times the rate of their non-Muslim neighbours.
Is 25% of the Belgian population Muslim, as the video asserts? No. The Belgian office of statistics points to a 2008 study which suggests the real figure is just 6%.

[Pak Daily Times] Daily Times can confirm that Siraj Haqqani, the operational commander of the Haqqani Network, who had earlier been moved from Miranshah, North Wazoo to Kurram Agency, home of an intricately interconnected web of poverty, ignorance, and religious fanaticism, has been moved to a secure "safe house" outside FATA. The decision was taken after the September 27 NATO incursion near the village of Mata Sanger, which left two Pak FC guards dead.
"Apparently, Siraj Haqqani was pretty close at a safe-house when the NATO incursion at Kurram took place," confirmed a top Western diplomat. It should be noted that Siraj Haqqani was earlier moved to Kurram Agency from Miranshah in North Wazoo after his brother, Mohammed, was killed in a US predator strike and another military commander, Saifullah Haqqani, was killed earlier this year.
The Haqqani network, which is considered as a 'strategic asset' by the Pak security establishment due to their considerable influence in Afghanistan, had first been moved to Kurram Agency where a new operation centre had been set up to intensify attacks in Afghanistan in co-ordination with a break away section of the Lakhkar-e-Taiba and other groups. It is now reported that the Shia tribes that make up most of the base for the Frontier Corps, who had earlier given most of the resistance to Gubuddin Hekmatyar's Hizb-e-Islami in Spina Shaga, have turned against the Haqqani network, who they see as an ideological threat to their existence. While most of the Pak mainstream media reported the recent festivities in Kurram Agency as 'water wars' between various tribal groups where more than 70 Islamic fascistihad been killed in strikes, it was in reality a section of the security establishment's supporting pro-government tribal killings to pave a way for the Haqqanis. Daily Times can now confirm that it was a story to cover and allow the military to intervene on behalf of the Haqqanis, who are viewed as 'strategic assets' and 'good Talibans'.
As a result, the Haqqanis play the 'mediating role' and 'big brother' of Kurram Agency, where at least two of the junior Haqqani, Khalil and Ibrahim Haqqani, were in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar and Islamabad to negotiate a peace deal in Kurram.
It should be noted that previously in 2006, the banned sectarian organisation Sipah-e-Sahaba took control of a mosque in Parachinar and killed hundreds of Turis, while LeJ and LeT are present and use Kurram Agency due to the area's strategic value as it borders Paktia, Nangarhar and Khost provinces of Afghanistan and is considered ideal for launching offensives into Afghanistan.
While the Bangash and Turis had been fighting against the TTP, LeJ, LeT, Haqqani supported groups in Kurram Agency, the Turis remain cut off, as the Taliban continue to attack along the single road that connects the remote area to the rest of Pakistain. The Turis have not received support from the Pak military for obvious reasons. US and Afghan forces tried to hit the Haqqani network in the summer of 2009 during a series of raids in Khost, Paktia, Pashtun-infested Logar, Zabul and Paktika ...which coincidentally borders South Wazoo... provinces in Afghanistan, but failed to dislodge it.
It is to be noted that the Haqqani network took credit of kidnapping a US solider during combat from his post in Paktika on June 30, 2009 and has carried many suicide missions against US and NATO forces in Afghanistan. The ongoing negotiations between the Afghan government and the Taliban fell off because of the Haqqani network, whom the Americans considered to be a faction of al Qaeda. Most of the members of the Haqqani network have been added to the list of US Treasury's specially-designated global hard boyz for financing terrorism and the CIA has tried to inflict maximum damage to the network via dronezaps in North Wazoo.
It should be noted that there was an offer to the Haqqani network in 2001 to help the US in fighting against the Taliban and even head Afghanistan's new government, which was refused. The network today remains, after al Qaeda, the biggest threat to NATO and ISAF.

[Pak Daily Times] Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Wormtongue Qureshi on Wednesday said the government would continue to extend moral and diplomatic support to the Kashmireis and highlight the issue.
Talking to news hounds after offering Eid prayers at Shah Rukn-e-Alam Mosque, he dispelled the impression that the issue had been dropped from the UN agenda.
Kashmire issue was still on the United Nation's agenda, he said, adding that it was baseless news.
Qureshi hailed policies of the government, adding the issue was highlighted with a new spirit and the voices of the victims of Kashmire resonated across the world. He said Kashmirei leaders, particularly Mirwaiz Omar Farooq and Syed Ali Geelani, were satisfied with the role of Pakistain concerning this burning issue.
The foreign minister condemned the atrocities being committed by the Indian army in the held valley, saying it was blatant human rights ... which are not the same thing as individual rights, mind you... violation, which must be stopped at the earliest.
Regarding recent visit of US President Barrack Obama to India, he said it was a scheduled visit. "Both Pakistain and Indian are enjoying relations with the US through their own perspectives," he added.
He said Pakistain retained equal importance in the region and President B.O. had decided to visit Pakistain in 2011.
He welcomed the role of international community for helping flood-affected people in the country.

[Pak Daily Times] Three people, including an activist of the All-Pakistain Muttahida Students Organisation (APMSO), were killed while at least 10 others were maimed in various firing incidents in the city over collection of hides during Eidul Azha.
Kalri police informed that two people were killed and 10 injured near Niazi Chowk, Lyari, when armed gangsters opened fire on a group of people to snatch hides from them.
Some armed members of the notorious Baba Ladla group turned up to seek hides of sacrificial animals from the Niazi community, who declined their demand, leading to an exchange of hot words between the two parties, police said.
The men then opened fire on the community members and as a result, Fayyaz, son of Abdul Qadir, and Samiullah, son of Bashir, were killed on the spot while ten others including Waseem, Gul Khan, Raheel, Mohammad Khan, Ahmed, Tahir and Sohail were maimed.
The culprits managed to escape with the hides from the scene, police said.
Kalri SHO Yousuf Baloch said that onlookers said that Badshah Khan's two sons Faheem and Shakeel, along with Waseem, Shahid alias Darinda, Khadim Hussain, Abdul Basit and Saeed Bengali were involved in the incident.
A heavy contingent of police and Rangers arrived on the scene to launch a search operation and cordoned off the area. However, The infamous However... no arrests have been made.
In another incident, an APMSO activist was rubbed out and two others sustained injuries when unidentified gunnies opened fire on in Gulshan-e-Iqbal.

[Pak Daily Times] Former president Pervez Perv Musharraf ... former dictator of Pakistain, who was less dictatorial and corrupt than any Pak civilian government to date ... has claimed that al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden funded Pakistain Mohammedan League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif ... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Müslim League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf... for taking part in the 2008 elections, a private TV channel reported on Friday. Addressing the All-Pakistain Mohammedan League convention in Toronto,
Toronto, as in Canada? Beautiful Kashmir isn't good enough?
he said that Chaudhry Shujaat and Pervaiz Elahi were giving statements "in frustration", adding that Richard Holbrooke's statement against him proves that he never took orders from the US. Musharraf said that a group of people had again raised slogans against him in Toronto, adding that if he was not afraid of the country's law, he would have asked his party workers to kick out the demonstrators. Musharraf kept silent on the question regarding Dr Imran Farooq joining the All-Pakistain Mohammedan League, the channel reported.

ARBIL / Aswat al-Iraq: The Secretary-General of Iraqs National Chaldean Council, Dhia Petros, demanded the Iraqi government and the world at large on Friday to provide protection for Iraqi Christians, through the formation of special forces from the members of the Christian community and to grant them self-rule in their areas.
Iraqi President Jalal Talabanis call for the establishment of a special region for the Christian community in Ninewa, was based on his keenness to settle the problem of Christians in Baghdad and Mosul, following recent attacks against them, Petros told Aswat al-Iraq news agency.
He added that the isolation of Christians from their Muslim brothers is not a correct solution because we dont want to be isolated.
Petros stressed that the new government and parliament are demanded to enact a law that guarantees the rights of Christians and protects them by granting them self-rule and the formation of protection forces from the members of their community.
The Christian MPs in the previous Iraqi parliament had called on the cabinet to provide protection for Christians, he added.
Regarding the Christian representation in the new Iraqi government, Petros said We have five MPs, representing us in parliament, both in the previous and the current session, but we are striving to be represented in one ministerial post so we can be part of a government of national partnership.
The Chaldean Catholic Church, is an Eastern particular church of the Roman Catholic Church, maintaining full communion with the Bishop of Rome and the rest of the Roman Catholic Church. The Chaldean Catholic Church presently comprises an estimated 1,500,000 Chaldean Christians.

IMO, the only way (short of genocide) to deal with Islam is to encourage self-determination for each and every group seeking it in Dar.
#2
It is not a bad idea at all to create a Chaldean self defense force. Especially if the Vatican is allowed to augment it with volunteer Catholics with extended visas to Iraq.
With limited self-rule, mostly so that they have control over some critical parts of their enclave, such as the right to purchase food, water and energy without central govt approval; they can set up a defensive force designed to thwart those intent on traveling to their area to commit crimes and murder.
From this position of strength, they could then be on a much more equal footing with the more reasonable Iraqi Shiites and Sunnis.
[An Nahar] The Popular Nasserite Organization led by Osama Saad on Friday accused MP Bahia Hariri of arming her supporters with "large quantities of weapons."
In a statement issued Friday, Saad said motorists have been repeatedly stopped by Hariri's "gunnies" across Sidon, including Majdalyoun and Kuneissat, where their cars were being searched.
The statement said motorists were also being "intimidated and treated roughly."
"These militia-style acts came after MP Bahia Hariri distributed large quantities of weapons to its supporters and followers," added the statement.
