As you may know by now, ten relief workers were murdered in Afghanistan over the weekend, six of whom were Americans. The Taliban is taking “credit” for their murders. These people were there for no other reason but to help people. They were medical personnel – doctors, dentists, nurses, and others, there to provide free [...]

In almost every briefing pertaining to South Asia, the U.S. Special Envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan Ambassador Richard Holbrooke says that he won’t use the ‘K word,’ by which he means Kashmir. This is sensible of him, knowing that any statement could escalate into an exchange of hot words between India and Pakistan (and India [...]

But before it does, I have another video for you celebrating women from around the world: Now, I admit, there were some women in there about whom I knew absolutely nothing. Some other names were familiar, but I could not remember why. So, I did a little digging, and wanted to share with you what [...]

Many of us were surprised last year when President Obama considered reaching out to the Taliban. The very idea was upsetting on a number of levels, particularly around our national security, what happened on 9/11, and the current wars in which we are engaged. But there is another element that may not have been considered [...]

This post carries an offer for the religious conservatives. Those who consider themselves good Christians, the ones who talk incessantly about family values and the importance of virginity. The ones who go to Church every Sunday and incorporate Jesus into every nonsensical thought that comes out of their mouths. The wholesome, flag-waving American-born Christians. For [...]

Recently, 7 CIA officers and a Jordanian intelligence officer, were killed, 6 injured, when someone got in Camp Chapman in Khost, Afghanistan. It was a shocking event, especially as reports surfaced that the bomber was freely admitted to the camp. How could that possibly be that he would be allowed on base without even being [...]

One major bit of news that went largely unnoticed this weekend was the passage of this rather significant bill,Defense Appropriations Bill Passes Senate 88-10, Clears Way For Health Bill. Yes, this pesky little bill needed to be take care of before the Democrats could begin to ram the Health “Care” bill (and its attendant expenses) [...]

While I was out of the country? Anything much happen? Ahahahhaha – just kidding. I know that while pandering to, I mean, granting an interview, to Oprah, Obama graded himeslf on a major curve and gave himself a B+ thus far. Wowie zowie – I bet his students loved him at the Law School if [...]

^ ^ ^ bumped up ^ ^ ^ So the other night, Obama had his big Afghanistan speech. Finally, after months of waiting for a decision regarding the request by General McChrystal, Obama laid out his plan, pretty much what had been telegraphed to us before the speech (yet, he still had to get in [...]

At first blush, one would think, not much. But recently, a number of Miss Americas, and one Miss Utah, who is also a former sergeant in the Army, traveled to Afghanistan to meet with the troops. Oh, you might recognize one woman in particular, especially if you are a fan of The Amazing Race, as [...]

We have been hearing a lot about Afghanistan of late, most of it bad. Finally, a story that will lift your spirits, a tall “tail” that is true. This one is about Sabi, who has been MIA in Afghanistan. She is MIA no longer as this article details, “Digger Dog Found After Afghan Adventure“: An [...]

(Bumped up from November 7th.) The current issue of Time Magazine has Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the cover, and an article by Joe Klein entitled, “The State of Hillary: A Mixed Record On The Job.” On Joe Scarborough the other morning, they discussed this article (major H/T to Bronwyn’s Harbor for the video): [...]
