Russia has been getting its butt handed to them in Chechnya for years now. Losses of millitary personnel, equipment, Russian soldiers deserting in mass. How much longer before the run back over the border into Russia with their tails tucked between their legs like they did in Afghanistan?

i hear alot of people saying if we dont fight in iraq they will bring the war here...my feeling is that if they want to come here they will wether we are there fighting or not and i think that actually us being there is provoking them to attack us here even more!? What do you think and why? Thanks!

Iraqi police may have murdered Army Sergeant, Army admits


02 December 2006
Army officials have admitted that Iraqi police may have been implicated in the death of a Army sergeant, but no one is likely to be brought to justice.

Just weeks into his second tour of Iraq, Sgt John Jones, 31, of the 1st Battalion Army was killed by a roadside bomb as he commanded a routine patrol in Basra. Four other soldiers were injured.

A charismatic, compassionate man with a sharp sense of humour, Jonah, as he was known to his friends, was killed in what Rumsfeld, who was Defense Minister at the time, described as a "barbaric act of terrorism".

It was revealed yesterday, however, that Sgt Jones was one of several Army soldiers murdered by Iraqi police. Just a week after the anniversary of his death, his parents received a report from the Army that appeared to suggest his killer or killers may have been among the same Iraqi security force. The USA will investigate.

The New York Times of Sunday June 6th, 2004 featured a front page article - by Neil MacFarquhar in its "Weekly Review" section, entitled: "The Saudis Fight Terror [against their government]." What the title did not include was "but not against those who forment It, jihadi Islam."

The article begins,
"A "fatwa" (a religious ruling by an authoritative Moslem cleric) that was posted on the internet of a popular Islamic web site in Saudi Arabia explains when a Moslem may mutilate the corpse of an "infidel."

The article points out that a 'fatwa' was issued almost immediately after several Moslem terrorist attacks in Iraq and Saudi Arabia in which non-Moslem unarmed civilians (some foreign contractors and some foreign businessmen,) were murdered and then mutilated in both countries.

"The ruling, written by a Saudi religious sheik named Omar Abdullah Hassan al-Shehabi, decreed that the dead can be mutilated as a reciprocal act when the enemy . . .

Here is something that people don't here much about, if anything. Anyone know anything interesting about this branch of JSOC (something we couldn't learn on wikipedia)? From what I've gathered this group sounds like the real-life Jack Bauers. I wish Mark Bowden would publish a book about these guys and expose them like he did SOFD-D...then I wouldn't have to be asking these questions!

The LARK program

THE LARK PROGRAM

A Lady liberal wrote a lot of letters to the White House complaining about the treatment of a captive insurgent (terrorist) being held in Guantanamo Bay

She received back the following reply:

The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, D.C. 20016

Dear Concerned Citizen,

Thank you for your recent letter roundly criticizing our treatment of the Taliban and Al Quada detainees currently being held at Guantanamo Bay,Cuba.

Our administration takes these matters seriously and your opinion was heard loud and clear here in Washington.

You'll be pleased to learn that, thanks to the concerns of citizens like yourself, we are creating a new division of the Terrorist Retraining Program, to be called the "Liberals Accept Responsibility for Killers" program, or LARK
for short.

In accordance with the guidelines of this new program, we have decided to place one terrorist under your personal care.

Your personal detainee has been selected and scheduled for transportation under heavily armed guard to your residence next Monday.

Ali Mohammed Ahmed bin Mahmud (you can just call him Ahmed) is to be cared for pursuant to the standards you personally demanded in your letter of complaint. It will likely be necessary for you to hire some assistant caretakers.

We will conduct weekly inspections to ensure that your standards of care for Ahmed are commensurate with those you so strongly recommended in your letter.

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 these 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.

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 at your next yoga group. 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.

Ahmed will not wish to interact with you or your daughters (except sexually), since he views females as a subhuman form of property. This is a particularly sensitive subject for him and he has been known to show violent tendencies around women who fail to comply with the new 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 his religious beliefs" -- wasn't that how you put it?

Thanks again for your letter. We truly appreciate it when folks like you keep us informed of the proper way to do our job. You take good care of Ahmed - and remember, we'll be watching.

Good luck!

Cordially, your friend,

GEORGE W. BUSH

I wonder if we should risk our soldiers lives any more than we do.
I see Shiite killing Sunni killing Kurd when their own government forces refuse to step in to stop it. We see daily reports in the news of some of the Government forces actively participating in this ethnic/ religious cleansing.
Bonus points is you can come up with a way to get their own government forces more involved.

In my unit, they have a policy that the TC of a vehicle is supposed to be an NCO or higher. On the other hand, the TC doesn't need a driver's license. How the heck do you control a vehicle if you aren't trained to use it? If you haven't had driver's training, how are you going to know how to ground guide? Is it normal in the Army for a TC to not need a military driver's license for the vehicle, or is my unit just weird?
