Afghanistan hit by largest bombing since 2001.

“Thirty-five people were killed and 52 injured this morning in a devastating suicide bomb attack on a bus in Kabul. The attack bore immediate comparison to mass casualty suicide bombings in Iraq and appeared to mark a leap in the capability of the Taliban and its Al-Qa’eda mentors in Afghanistan to mount such attacks. The death toll is the largest in a single attack in the country since 2001.”

Our actions continue to be the single best recruiting tool for the Taliban. What don’t we get about how we are activating the rest of the world????

Oddly enough I had just read how the US was touting the fact that the Aghanistan taliban hadn’t been able to launch their spring offensive.

Let’s see if we can get the morons who haven’t been able to win against this 10th rate military insurgency to open up a new front against Iran!

Calling Joe Lieberman.

I wonder how much play this will get in the “MSM”. I first learned of this when I went to check my e-mails earlier this morning. That was at 9 AM. I happened to turn on MSNBC at that time and what was their oh-so-important story at that moment? Another missing white woman.

We all must remember that these people are being trained in Pakistan where Osama is being harbored and shielded. You know, Pakistan, our friend with nuclear weapons. And yet we think we need to attack Iran because we think they might be helping the Shiites. I haven’t yet seen any hard proof, so I will continue to say “we think”, not “we know”. And then there is Saudi Arabia who is arming and sending money to the Sunni’s. But they are also our friends. I think we need to learn how to pick better friends.

The more these bombing’s and war’s continue I am reminded of a tiny little war that was started on my little space and ended abruptly by me…..Let me explain…I have an evil neighbor that I have ignored and sent good reflection’s back to for year’s….I maintain a profesional attitude to her only when necessary to communicate…For many she would be a dreadful thorn in the side of humanety..To me just a distraction and nucence..Here’s the deal..

I went to town one day and when I returned home she had taken down my tiny fence and put a rickety old wheel barell in my yard with her flower’s in it….First off her yard was bigger than mine, second her encrochment to my little space was offensive and disterbing, not to mention down right madenning….To say I was mad would put it midly..

Calmly I went over to her and asked her if she put it there and took down my fence….Yes she said she wanted it there and thought it would look nice..Hah!…I like a jungle of plant’s not old rusty junk I don’t own in my yard…Then she added, leave it there…..

With that I promply walked over, gathered up the broken wheel barell and put it back in her yard…All the while she is screaming at me….Then I went and found board’s and wire fencing and put up a new permanent fence that was on our fence line….She knew what she was doing and wanted to claim my lot as her’s to use..Guess what.? She continues her little evil deed’s quietly in her own space and now gives me a wide berth in space and attitude…

My point in this lengthy post is still the same as I have posted before….If we remove our troop from the sand we have no right to or the oil under it these waring people will continue to fight for awhile and then quit. Or not.. Their choice..It is their space, not our’s..Any of their resourses should be sold by them on the free market for us to buy if need be.. We as a country have no right to invade and steal much less kill off whole tribes to suit our maniacle administration’s gain’s….

One can name any of the group’s fighting against us anything they want but the bottom line is we have spilled their blood in their sand and will forever be in the wrong for doing so…..

Our present administration is hell bent on distroying them and us for their own gain, like my crazy little neighbor….This thinking must stop, the killing’s must end, the troop’s must come home and the people of the world must be allowed to put up their own fences, define their own space and the guilty must be put in their space, hopefuly jail….Blessings All..

The ranks as probably the single worst analogies I’ve ever read on here……and there have been legion. Congratulations. The premise is entirely missing, your logic is faulty at best, and your spelling is off. Look up fallacious in the dictionary.
