July 2010 - Argghhh!

Both his AoC address to the assembled members of the Coalition Forces and his letter to the IASF are worth the read. Protecting those we are here to help nonetheless does require killing, capturing, or turning the insurgents. We do not shrink from that...General Petraeus "gets it"......

That's where I sit. I'm actively supporting my first candidate in my life, Jerry Moran, a Republican currently representing the 1st Congressional District, who is running for the Republican nomination against Representative Todd Tiahrt.Interesting election cycle. After the election in November, Kansas will go from having three Representatives with some seniority (Moore, Tiahrt, Moran) and two long serving Senators (Brownback, Roberts) to having only one long-serving Senator (Roberts) and...

With that attitude, no wonder we are in the stink we are in.

Reader Jim B has a personal stake in the war, and sends us this request. In truth, I don't have an opinion or good knowledge. This stuff is too new for my interests or personal experience...

(to include some recent arrivals) available...

Not really, just needed a title. Castle Argghhh! Farm and Migratory Habitat for Sergeants will be recieving two Sergeants today who need fostering while moving about the world. Afghan Old Blue will be by for the third time, while Bouhamme r will be making his first visit. Prime Rib will be involved. We figured Blue would be tired of ribeye. Funny thing - Old Blue usually pops in from Afstan and then heads back to Afstan. He must like SWWBO's cookin'!
