Super Tuesday

Ok, y'all - fixing to get my electoral cherry popped with the closest thing the Great Satan has ever had to a Nat'l Primary.

Vote Early! Vote Often! (just teasing)

Voting is the ultimate homage to American troops who stood long watches over vast expanses of trackless oceans, who killed our enemies in scary dark places like Hurtegan Forrest, Inchon and Fallujah.

Young Americans who laid their lives on Freedom's Altar in the ultimate act of sacrifice to something larger than self.

Voting is using Force. And using Force is Violence - the Supreme Authority - from which all authority is derived.

Jumped Up Ayatollah

Splitting the scene pre surge, Mookie has been hanging (hiding? ) in a comfy compound in Tehran's Preacher Heights hood. Leaving his Mahdi Army(v4.0) to face Great Satan's military might and marginalizing influence, things may not be so sweet for Iran's future plans.

Trekking twice a week to the Mullah's Holy City of Qom (kinda like a Persian version of Najaf) Mookie is in a super summer school for preachers. Ameri Taheri explains why Mookie's act is kinda weak and uncertain and the high hope the Islamic Republic has for him in the future to create a sister theocracy in Iraq and a Shi ite crescent from Persia to the Med

"It normally takes at least 12 years of intensive studies to become a "mujtahid"
(who can offer religious guidance). And the title "Sign of God" can't be secured
solely by studying: Ayatollahs bestow it on only a few individuals in each
generation. The candidate must author a "resaleh" (dissertation), with at least
one grand ayatollah publicly acknowledging its theological value.

Traditionally, no man under 40 could pretend to be a "Proof of Islam," for it
was at 40 that the Prophet Muhammad was approached by Archangel Gabriel and
informed of his divine mission.

But the "Muqtada Project" envisages shortcuts. Sadr is to complete the 12-year course in four or five years, by which time he'd also be 40. Someone could write a resaleh for him and someone else could attest to the work's authority. He could then receive endorsement (tasdiq) from ayatollahs close to the Tehran authorities.

Sometime in 2012 or so, we may meet Ayatollah al-Sayyed Muqtada al-Sadr
al-Mahallati al-Tabatabai. By then, Najaf's four aging grand ayatollahs could
have passed on, thus making it easier for Tehran to market Muqtada as a
religious authority for Iraqis."

Yay. The Holy city of Najaf is key for a caliphate in Iraq - so far Iraqi Ayatollah's haven't really took up with a hook up with Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (also a crash course cleric by order of the Grand Old Ayatollah Khomeini himself). The Mahdi Army is splintered and fragmented, key cats are missing, captured or reclining on green sofa's with dozens of white raisins and silken youth in Paradise. No surprise, the Mahdi Army loses all the time.

Great Satan just cut deals with Iraq and is killing enemies with the new Iraqi army buds. She will most likely be there waiting for him to arrive. Mookie has a lot to consider. Like his first try in Najaf.

"On 23 Aug 2004 at least 15 explosions, many sounding like artillery
shells, rocked the area, as shrapnel fell in the courtyard of the gold-domed
mosque and gunfire echoed through the alleyways. On August 26, 2004, two F-16s
flying out of Balad dropped four 2000 pound JDAMs (Joint Direct Attack
Munitions) on two hotels near the shrine which were being used by the
insurgents. The successful airstrike dealt a devastating blow to Sadr and led to
a hasty settlement with Sistani the following morning."

Though Sadrists honked in nearly 11% in the last elections they will have some pull. But do they really want to become Iranian minions for life?

"Muqtada faces a tough choice. Should he continue with the Iranian project, in hopes of winning big in four or five years - at the risk that others will fill the vacuum in his
absence? Or interrupt the Iranian project and return to Iraq to reactivate his
armed gangs - possibly exposing himself to the Americans' full fire - which,
with Sunni pressure almost gone, could crush him?"

Does he even have the freedom of choice to choose? Or do the Mullahs have their hooks in him for life?

"He might be a virtual prisoner, along with his new Persian bride,
in that villa facing the snow-capped Towchall mountains."

"The Bride Was Ravishing"

Congratulations Mr French President! On behalf of Americans everywhere, still glowing about his super cool, event saavy (au currant or historical) pledge of praise, are wishing the very best. Nicholas Sarkozy, aside from winning elections in France (while championing the ideas of America Unbound - no less), buddying up with Great Satan in killing killers, immodest military projections about the globe pushing the new school 'freedom is for everyone' has literally charmed the britches off a super hottie Italian model with legs right up to her neck.

Faster than Napoleon's campaign that knocked out Austria, Russia and their myriad of client principalities in the Austerlitz blitz, Pres Sarkozy continues the history making niche he's slit out by being the 1st Fench pres in historie moderne to wed while in office. Nikki's charm offensive included a trip to the Pyramids and all the right spots re: night spots.

His bride is the luscious talented quadruple threat ( model, singer, songwriter, multi musician) Carla Bruni. While there are a few years diff in their ages (like a dozen or so) Nicholas is living by an age old maxim for leaders - essentially work hard - play hard. France's Pres is suffering a bit of a hit pop wise as some French folks currently think he's taking up a lot of time on personal things in lieu of state. Perhaps in 9 months or so, Carla and Nikki can create a surge of their own with a precious little baby while at the pennacle of French political power.

And that baby would most likely inherit all the good looks and charm of his or her 'rents. As the officiating Mayor of Paris Francois Lebel (looking hot in Comte de Guerre Ensembe for an old guy) said on Radio Europa Channel One

"The bride was wearing white and was ravishing. The bridegroom wasn’t bad
either"

Marine Nationale

Darling Nikki's hot, sticky, sweet make up hook up with Great Satan whispered hot, sticky, sweet, down right sexed up promises of creating a real future world that couldn't help but to annoy, annihilate and marginalize creepy time traveling intolerants and unfree missile millionaires anywhere on earth

"Today, as in the past, we stand at the begining of the 21st century, it is
together that we must fight to defend and promote the values and ideals of
freedom and democracy"

A true player (oh, he got game!) France's Pres proves it by putting steel on the target with an updated fleet setting sail with a berth in Naval history. Since 911, France has executed a crash naval programme to create, update, deploy and maintain a NATO navy compliment that not only could fight but could also command with allies in the New Millenium. France will soon sortee with:

"...a strategic ocean-going force consisting of four SSBN, a group of twenty-six
destroyers and frigates including four AAW (anti-surface and anti-sub) and
eight ASW ships, overseas forces consisting of six surveillance frigates,
eleven patrol boats and five light transport ships (BATRAL), a mine warfare
force consisting of fifteen ships and a command ship, a maritime patrol
aircraft wing consisting of twenty-two Atlantique aircraft and ten maritime
surveillance aircraft, about fifty ship-borne helicopters - This represents
a total of 80 warships, 130 naval aircraft and five commandos (Marine
Amphibious) units."

France's Navy has been teaching the Russians a thing or two about maritime ops and recently picked up NATO command and control stats for the first time ever - all in 3 weeks.

"On January 1st 2008, following Great Britain, for the first time France took
the command of the NATO Response Force, for 6 months, under the orders of the
Rear Admiral Hinden. Being deployable under very short delays, wherever
actuality demands it"

For the pièce de résistance, France is hooking up with Great Satan in the Persian Gulf. Until now, Only Great Satan had bases in places like the strategically saddled United Arab Emirates.

Trying to downplay Great Satan's recent Persian Chess Tour and her avec de guerre with a France Military base in their own back 40, Ebtisam Al-Kitbi, associate professor of political science at UAE University points out that unfree regimes that may or may not be fiddling about WMD or may or may not be destabilizing neighboring turf and that publicly threatens neighbors or may or may not deploy stealth subs to sabotage the internet in the ME isn't really a problem.

She lays the blame squarely on America Unbound in the new millenium

"The U.S. has been causing a great deal of concern among Arab Gulf countries
because of conflicting and dangerous statements and policies made by
Washington that have led to the current situation in Iraq and to a mounting
tension with Iran. Moreover, the U.S. image in the region has deteriorated
as a result of the global war on terrorism and the failed Palestinian-Israeli peace process.

The U.S. must notice this change, and subsequently improve its foreign policy and reconsider its actions in order not to miss the major strategic shift that seems to be happening. French military presence would help restrain the Bush
administration from making irrational, unilateral moves that could lead to war."

Au contraire mademoiselle! Dr.Theodore Karasik, Middle East security analyst at RAND Corp. in L.A. says even trying to drive a zero sum wedge betwixt two freedom loving allies is totally retarded

"The United States should welcome this move because its current relations with
Paris have never been stronger. In case of a confrontation with Iran, the French
military presence would be a complementary package to the U.S. forces there."

French Defense Minister Herve Morin hooked up with Def Sec Gates at the Pentagon today and spelled out the bloodtests of history confirmed

"The bloodlines uniting the United States and France are much more powerful than
discrepancies we might have experienced"

Riad Kahwaji, a part timer at Agence Presse France, cites undisclosed 'officials' that admit Great Satan and France have been buddying up for a while military wise.

"French forces in UAE have been giving support to NATO operations in Afghanistan
since 2002. The only thing new is that it has been made official and public."

Darling Nikki agrees and points out that wielding a future Navy on Freedom's behalf and being magically drawn to wherever the banner of Liberty is unfurled is a really cool signal and is totally legit, after all she's just like Great Satan.

France is totally jazzed about flexing muscle in unfree, scary parts of the world where baby democracies could be strangled to death in their cribs. President Sarkozy starts off nearly every analysis

"... with the assumption that the US is not involved, either as a problem or as a solution.

Imagine, there is no US. Are the European nations threatened by radical Islamism or not?

Imagine there is no US, does the European Union depend on oil and gas imports from the Greater Middle East?

Imagine there is no US, is the acquisition of nuclear weapons by the Khomeinist regime in Tehran good or bad for France and the European Union?

Imagine there is no US, isn't Europe safer if Afghanistan and Iraq are transformed into friendly democracies rather than a safe haven for terrorists?

France responds to its friends. This is a sign to all that France is
participating in the stability of this region of the world."

Cyber Media Blitz

In the essential "Rise of the Vulcans" James Mann shares that the Great Satan's 30 year in the future Military was actually a crazy cool chaotic orderly march set in motion way back in the last millenium. Back in the day, when Ex Def Sec Donald Rumsfeld was Pres Ford's White House Chief of Staff he literally wore people out about a new magical future thinking missile. Way over the top, peers and subordinates joked about

"...sending Rumsfeld on a cruise..."

Still cruising in service to something larger than self, the Ex Sec is still at it, with an au currant demarche' that is totally in sync with the idea of constant confrontation and selective intervention.

Since Great Satan cannot change what she is (and honestly would never want to) and since certain Axis', blocs, Caliphating fanboys, leagues, Presidents for Life and rocket rich rejects fear everything Great Satan is all about (and they honestly should) - all of these unfree regimes and their intolerant resistence movements, militias and bombsquads use their unfree state controlled media to diss Great Satan and her irresistable ideals.

The ex Navy Fly guy and Regime Changer Rumsfeld is absolutely correct in his latest idea championship that it's time to put the 'world' in

"...America ain't what s wrong with the world..."

Essentially, since no one can defeat Great Satan on the Battlefied - and they all know it, perhaps it's time to pump up the volume in communications using every trick in the book to increase, maintain and crank down pressure on self imposed media that tends to glorify destructive penchants like

"... the fact that they blow up mosques, kill women and children and publicly
behead their foes..."

The outgoing #3 at State, R. Nicholaus Burns agrees and points out that would be easy to

"explain who we are and to show the goodness of America to the rest of the
world. I mean, there are some countries where the state-controlled press in
authoritarian countries spew out lies about us; I mean, pictures of us that you
would not recognize."

No doubt! After all, certain blocs have a bizarro double standard like in Pakistan where it's ok for girls to learn to fly military jets but totally controversial for girls to drive cars in Saudi.

Totally flipping off any foreign concerns about Great Satan imposing alien ideas on hapless time traveling intolerants Ex Marine and supersmart guy Gary Anderson of GW University disses any reasoning of 'blowback' or publicising inner ethical wrestling matches

"A big part of the reason is that we spend too much time wanting to be liked
rather than turning Muslim anger on our enemies.

We preach some values that are viewed as alien and threatening to the traditional order of things. Our popular culture is seen as decadent at best and downright threatening at worst in traditional cultures.

We can't change what we are, nor would we want to. No matter how much the government may disapprove, the government's official propaganda will be overwhelmed by the deluge, both positive and negative, from the popular media. We need to accept this fact and move on, rather than waste more millions on strategic communications "charm campaigns."

Hitting them where it hurts, Ex Sec Rumsfeld is correct that Great Satan is irresistable and just like her ideals, a super cyber www all media campaign would include a

"21st-century agency for global communications, a valued tool to help tell the
story of a nation that was carved from the wilderness and conceived in
freedom"

Not only that - Dr. Anderson insists on taking it a bit further - using the enemies own words against them is a battle of ideas that would be a sure thing for sure.

"...collecting photos of the Muslim innocents al-Qaeda has killed and putting
below them quotations from the Koran decrying such practices. These
advertisements would appear in every newspaper and TV station in the Muslim
world where I could buy print space or air time..."

In the New Millenium, Great Satan could checkmate old school, played rhetoric and put the "O!" in offensive cyber blitzes that would render any counter truly counter productive - winning friends and influencing people in a way that ye olde 'Hearts and Minds" campaign with it's find a friend frenzy that never really took off .

Deploying everything from blogs, online dating social networks to old school radio and TV. Like the Ex Sec says

"Necessity is the mother of invention. And the necessity is there."

Border Of Disorder

Land of Pharohs, Pyramids and Pres for Life Hosni Mubarrak, Egypt is also good at pretending. Using his best Relax y'all this is part of the show tone Egypts Foreign Ministry Spokescat H'Ssam Zaki says getting an estimated 750K ex colonists and their rowdy children gate crashing sovereign borders is all part of the plan.

"We are not opening the Rafah crossing just for everybody to cross - we're
opening it because it's a very dire humanitarian situation The current situation
is only an exception and for temporary reasons. The border will go back to
normal."

Good Luck! Day 4 of the Strip stampede is like a mass exodus . Even as Egypt deployed more units to the border and issued invites for HAMAS and Fatah to an Order at the Border tete' a tete', HAMAS was bulldozing huge gaps through the Rafah crossing and nearly half the Strips 1.5 million surged right through. Violence was off the hook - nearly 20 casualties a day.

Egypt's Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit tried to explain why all this chaos was actually a good thing.

"These provocations cause us concern and our Palestinian brothers should note
that the Egyptian decision to host them and ease their suffering should not
result in threats to the lives of our sons in the Egyptian forces"

This flood also reflects HAMAS' penchant for intelligent human shielding for cover as waves of ex colonists are magnetically drawn to Cairo like Muhammad al-Hirakly, 22

"I tried to go there, to see the big city and our family there, and also the
girls."

While Little Satan scored with a sweet missile hit on HAMAS's "military commander" of Rafah, Muhammad Harb along with his personal posse, IDF sources confess this may have been HAMAS's plot all along.

Nigh unstoppable civilian heavy traffic masks intense efforts by Palestinian terrorists like HAMAS, Jihad Islami, Fatah-Al Aqsa Brigades, the Popular Resistance Committees, any number of the nearly 2 dozen security forces, intolerant militias as well as al Qaeda to establish a base in northern Sinai.

Indeed, the only way to stop anybody would be for Egypt to violate her treaty with Little Satan and deploy about 30K troops with all the goodies like armoured vehics, spotter jets and helicopters 24/7 on the border.

This type of show of force would really put Hosni in a bind - calling up reserves to fend off waves of ex colonists - a real risk since violence would most likely escalate and put a military face on Palestinian Sympathy Fatigue.

Totally jazzed up with victory, HAMAS's Ahmed Youssef giddily dreamed of trying this Border busting tactic with Little Satan

"The next time there is a crisis in the Gaza Strip, Israel will have to face
half a million Palestinians who will march toward Erez."

Cairo's regime would most likely not survive a battle with civilians or even risk it because of the catastrophic impact it would have on Pres for Life Hosni 's street creds on the Arab street.

Cutting deals with HAMAS and their new bases in Sinai may be a non starter - everywhere it's been tried - Pakistan, Lebanon, Palestine - it's always like the Kiss of Death. Hosni's one chance may actually be cutting a deal with Little Satan.

Violence could possibly be managed in the press with a state controlled media and bribes to neighboring turf. It would also mean starring the HAMAS as the villan in Arab press and trying to evacuate civilians from Gaza..

The interesting point no one has yet brought up is, with all this chaos and border deconstruction - what might be sneaking in to the Gaza Strip?

Last Stand In Pakistan

The au currant Pakistani Pres for Life (the former General Pres for Life for the undespotic) Musharraf pointed out great reasons for the Great Satan to put the "OH!" in No Go Tribal zones in Western Pakistan.

"All the terrorist activity in Afghanistan had its base in Pakistan. All the
freedom struggle in Indian Held Kashmir was Cross Border Terrorism from Pakistan
All nuclear proliferation in the world had its source in Pakistan. Pakistan is an
intolerant militant extremist society."

Until recently, Pres Pervz didn't cotton much to the idea of Great Satan stomping about in Pakistan. And true, he had good reasons - pre Surge Iraq was totally stocked in terrorist head choppers, Iran fanboys and Syrian minions.

Even certain pols were totally freaking out. That was weird. Never sounding like any ex boxers or former Marines personally met or on TV. Plus, Afghanistan suffered a Taliban comeback (actually better PR wise than Brittney's) every spring offensive. Quagmire was the word de jour. Al Qaeda was like a mythical beast totally indestructable hanging in safe zones in Pakistan and magically transporting anywhere in the ME.

That is so last year. Great Satan's Old Ironsides (which has quite a history of ripping the living guts out of her enemies) is cruising with a bruising. Gen Mark Hertling (with 2 PHD's) teaches that: annihilating wretched time traveling Al Qaeda (8th Century - no less) on the run is sweet, crunchy and almost like devouring certain snack chips - you can't kill just one.

"They are trying to get away or find new safe havens. And every time they think
they have them, we attack"

Celebrating Surge's very first Happy BDay bash, "Rock of the Marne" is no stranger to danger either. Literally vaporizing Great Satan's enemies with literally 2 tons a minute called in from on high, courtesy of the Great Satan's literally global air superiority. Iraq really is a quagmire for creating caliphates, emirates or theocracies (your choice Taliban or Iranian style).

Real life Super Villans are either running for their lives, snitched on by a tormented pop, held securely by Great Satan in controlled environments, incinerated on scene or left dead on the side of the road for a stranger to bury.

Great Satan has fine tuned the Land between the Rivers from a giant, sucking irresistably magnetic trap for wanna be jihadis, Syrian agents and Iranian minions into a giant, sucking, irresistably magnetic killing machine for wanna be jihadis, Syrian agents and Iranian minions.

"Send all you want - we'll kill more" In Afghanistan, 10th Mountain Division's General David Rodriguez explains that Great Satan's 10th Mountain Division is driving the Taliban into kill zones and into Pakistan's Federal Tribal zones.

"I don't think there'll be a big spring offensive this year. I base that on the
fact that the Afghan security forces and the Afghan governance and Afghan
development has moved forward. The people of Afghanistan don't want the Taliban
back."

AQ gets no caliphate or theocracy in Iraq or a Taliban Afghanistan. No surprise - any version of Caliphating totally sucks. All death and blood and shame and honor but little staying power. Gary Anderson led a study of al-Qaeda from 2003 to 2005 for a Defense Department contractor. He lectures on "The Revolution in Military Affairs" at George Washington University.

"Everyplace where al-Qaeda has gained some measure of control over a civilian
population, it has quickly worn out its welcome. No one likes to be brutalized
and dominated. Its members have killed more Muslim civilians than have
misdirected coalition airstrikes in Iraq and Afghanistan combined."

This is significant. Al Qaeda and their Taliban Allies are retreating to Pakistan, capturing turf, hostages and defeating a military Great Satan personally funded to the tune of 10 billion bucks. The Land of the Pure is a land of Red Mosque insurgencies in the capital and a former Federated Tribal zone horribly disfigured into hot pocket caliphates and Super Villan lairs. Like Afghanistan and Al Anbar - torment, control and misery are all in stock out to the dock. This is their last stand.

"nine of the twelve districts in the picturesque Swat Valley, 100 miles from
Pakistan's capital, have been taken over by militants, who have torched music
shops, barred girls from going to school, forced women to wear burqas and
decreed that men must grow beards."

Great Satan is moving in for the kill - and this is not her debut in the Land of the Pure either. A real magical mystery tour escorting enemies to the perfumed Gardens of Allah and straight into the arms of the dark eyed ones has been running for years in an overt covert war that's featuring future high tech.

Like that stealth drone that may or may not have been the culprit for cashing in nearly a dozen caliphaters. Or old school special ops combinations that will only increase as America, unbound by commitments in Iraq and Afghanistan, expertly applies every weapon in her armoury to devour her shrieking prey.

Deploying risable decoys about Pakistan's sovreignity and Great Satan's Polite Intervention since 911, Adm. William J. Fallon, CENTCOM promises the future will be way more.

"More robust. There is more willingness to do that now"

Repeatedly tested, repeatedly victorious in combat for years against Al Qaeda, Talibanis, Mahdi Armies and Republican Guards Great Satan fields the most de luxe, all weather killers of killers in history - in pursuit of a goal most de luxe American arrogance is mean, scary, crazy and unpredictable (check Luftwaffe Bomber Command debriefs about that one) openly reminding the entire world that a 30 year in the future military could pretty much do whatever the heck she wanted, whenever the heck she wanted.

And this time, Great Satan is taking a hard look at Pakistan. And, just like ex General Wesley Clark laughingly proved to the horror of NATO cats, Serbian cutthroughts, unfree regimes and militias worldwide:

"And there's nothing they can do about it"
