World Hoochiefication

While the world rehabs from checking Great Satan's combat cats doing their Lady Gaga routine, Little Satan's infantry patrol rocks out to Ke$ha's "Tik Tok" and may get busted for their rowdy risque (yet totally combat professional) foot manuevers.

Safe as milk however - are two IDF hoochies rocking out to Avril - look out for the hottie naughty terminology (unfound in any NATO alphabets) around the 43 second spot and the hoochiesque gratuitous smack la boo tay!

Syrian Theory

"If all our problems were as easy as Syria - the War on Terror would have been won long ago." Essentially meaning as regime changing the living daylights out Syria's B'Athist ganksta nepotisitic terrorist loving illegit Allawite regime at the point of the world famous M16.

So far, 44's secular suck up with Dr General President for Life - the Lion of Syria - Bashar al Assad has been dangerously embarrassing - even making the world a way more dangerous place.

Despite hot gossip about hosting Iranian radar chicanery, rumors of xferring ownership of the V2 like SCUD D to a time traveling intolerant terrorist group with buckets of American blood on their hands, slave trading and abusing those precious magical Palestinians as a strategic resource - 44's outreach has been routinely offered, re offered and repeatedly dissed.

And the funintended consequences of 44's skirt flirt with a risible tarded quest like pursuing Bashar to pursue stability could result in a regime change all right - just the wrong regime change!

A theocratic terroristic take over of Syria!

"...If Assad were to work with the United States by promoting stability instead of terrorism, freelance jihadists all over the region would have every reason to bump him to the top of their to-do list.

"...A secular non-Muslim Arab government at peace with Israel and the West and an enemy of the “resistance” movements would make an obvious next stop for roaming insurgents.

"...That’s why Assad won’t likely ever do what Washington wants unless the region as a whole changes drastically or the United States threatens his survival more than the Islamists do

Oh Snap! So...44's fan club out reach to Syria (in the realist def of 'stability')actually could be the harbinger of instability?!

Yessir!

Enemies "...arguing for a jihad in Syria believe that they have hit the trifecta: In the Syrian regime, they have an enemy that is at once tyrannical, secular, and heretical.

"...If the jihadists are not a spent force, and if they choose to concentrate their efforts on Syria, then it stands to reason that the Syrian regime may face a very grave challenge to its survival.

"...The idea that a security regime can tether down the wild beast of jihadism misses the technological, financial, and recruiting innovations that have freed jihadists to a large extent from their past reliance on state sponsors. This newfound confidence accentuates the unwillingness of the “vanguard” to submit to any master beyond its revolutionary passions.

"...Of course, stability would hardly be served by allowing the jihadists to have their way. As brutal as the Assad government is, neither the world nor Syria would be better off with the jihadists in charge.

"...But it’s far from clear that support from Washington would make Assad more stable vis à vis the jihadists. The jihadists would likely understand U.S. engagement with Syria as an ironic twist of events: Rather than punishing the Syrians for enabling jihadists in Iraq, the Syrian regime would be propped up as a bulwark against jihadist expansion.

"...In this Faustian deal, the jihadists would undoubtedly smell weakness—both on the part of Assad and on the part of the Americans—not to mention opportunity to target another regime allied with the West.

In It 2 Win It!

Totally hot! P4's Command Posse takes charge on Great Satan's Happy happy BDay and doubles down a killer commitment:

"We are in this to win"

Absoutely correct of course - and a vital dose of steel shanks to retreatists of all stripes - "Weenie Hut Juniors" style or grotesque misguided political hacks

The Astan will be difficult - true:

"...There have been setbacks and disappointments during this campaign, and adjustments will likely be necessary. These are inescapable in war. Success is not by any means inevitable. Enemies adapt and spoilers spoil. But both panic and despair are premature. The coalition has made significant military progress against the Taliban, and will make more progress as the last surge forces arrive in August..."

Yet, sticking to Great Satan's guns and insisting on an all out long term and short term to win - victory - should be the goal:

"...And although winning in Afghanistan would not by itself defeat Al Qaeda and associated terror movements, it would strike a hard blow against our enemies, while losing the war there would be cataclysmic:

"...It would strengthen our enemies and lead to the loss of many more innocent lives around the globe. Most importantly, despite the gloom that hovers over Washington discussions of Afghanistan policy, the war is still winnable, given the right decisions here, in Afghanistan itself and in Pakistan."

Next time anyone in your august presence gets all wobbly and starts weepingly inappropriate handwringing about the 'forever war,' consider serving up a stiff double shot of buck nekkid truth serum:

"There is no safe haven that al-Qaeda covets more than the border regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan, which present a unique opportunity for our enemies and a threat to us. Situated in rugged terrain hundreds of miles from any coastline, with weak or nonexistent governance and security services, this region provides both a home to al-Qaeda and possible access to nuclear weapons.

"Our objective is to create an Afghanistan that can stand on its own, that ultimately is going to be able to secure its own territory, not provide a safe haven for terrorists, not drag down the security of the entire region, that that is still possible.

"It is going to take a long time.

Afghanistan is the New Gitmo - Great Satan didn't ask for it - or desire it - but she's got it. She will and she should have her way with it to her hearts content.

Pic - "Protecting those we are here to help nonetheless does require killing, capturing or turning the insurgents. We will not shrink from that."

Great Satan's Happy BDay!

4 July 1776 fired off a crazy rocking rolling ride that hasn't stopped 'stirring things up' on a global scale.
Advancing arrogance into an art form with a remarkable relentless risque commitment to liberty, egalitarianism, individualism, and laissez-faire values.
America differs qualitatively from all other nations, because of her unique origins, nat'l credo, historical evolution, and distinctive political and religious institutions.
Great Satan is magically especial because she was a country of immigrants and the first modern democracy.
Loud, proud and rowdy - early America forecast future stuff with a provocative lingo that still fits today. "Don't Tread On Me!" "Liberty Or Death", "Live Free Or Die"
Great Satan's superiority of the American xperiment is reflected in the perception among Americans of America’s role in the world. That American foreign policy is based on moral principles is a consistent theme in the American hot diplopolititary gossip – a phenomenon recognized even by those who are skeptic of such an assessment.
This inclination to do right has been virtually unique among the nations of the world - and for this very reason - America has been totally misunderstood. How could a nation so rich, so successful actually, really be so unselfish and so caring?
Unconvincing (and either historically igno - or deceitfully dishonest - either term will do) critics cry Great Satan must have darker motives! America must be seeking imperium - to dominate everyone else, suck up all the oil, to trade and rob blind for America's selfish purposes.
People from more grasping, less idealistic societies find it nigh impossible to accept that America honestly believes that giving everyone opportunity is the real roadmap for abundance and happiness everywhere - not merely in the magical Great Satan.
Americans honestly believe that securing other people's freedom is actually like the best guarantee that America can keep her own.
America does not want to dominate the world. Americans want to live in peace and hope other people will too.
America will go out into the world, redress errors, stop uncool unacceptable behaviour, to first challenge, then annihilate threats to our liberty.
Creative destruction is Great Satan's middle name. It is a natural function, for she is the one truly revolutionary country in the world for more than 2 centuries.
She does it automatically, and that is precisely why creeps and tyrants hate her guts, and are driven to attack her. An enormous advantage, despots fear her, and oppressed peoples want what she offers: freedom.
Amazingly, some suspect states, illegit leaders and some people have not yet comprehended that America's primary intention is to preserve and keep our own land and liberty and all it's prosperity and that America will do anything and go anywhere to make it happen.
Great Satan built the modern world.
And She knows her way around.
Happy BDay America!

Sky Soldier!

Great Satan's 173rd Airborne Brigade is a Nat'l Treasure - a long history of going anywhere, anytime and doing anything they want. And those ultimate combat bona fides have been legendary as the Sky Soldiers themselves.

Now whispers hot sticky whispers that a Sky Soldier may be the 1st live recip'ent of the Congressional Medal of Honor since the Vietnam war!

"...Today is a great day.

"...Our generation, our wars, now have a living hero who will represent our collective valor. SSG Salvatore Giunta (gotta love that he is Italian, too) saved countless lives on a piece of miserable rock in Eastern Afghanistan. His squad was hit in an ambush, the point man had no chance and was gravely wounded.

"...As Taliban guerrillas began to drag this Airborne infantryman away, most likely to videotape his torture and grim execution, Giunta rushed them without considering the danger to himself.

"...Giunta dropped a magazine into two Taliban insurgents, killing one and wounding another.

"...What this means to a nation weary from almost nine long years of war is without words.

"...Congratulations to 44, Secretary Gates and most of all, SSG Giunta’s chain of command for recognizing not only the actions of a genuine hero, but the importance for these living heroes to walk amongst us displaying all that it is to sacrifice for freedom.

America is totally be proud of Staff Sergeant Giunta and we thank God Almighty for this living embodiment of service to something larger than self.

Twilight Scenarios

Long time friend and super source for that wild and wacky ME - where the men are often medieval and the girls endure it, is BlackHawk Partners (biz'ness is war!) President/CEO Ziad Abdelnour.

As gossip that Preacher Command is fixing to deploy an early warning radar system in Lion of Syria's turf, Prez Z recently pointed out that the hot cold war betwixt neighboring nation/states and non state actor outers was heading towards twilight - and that a hot shooting war would be the new night

"...It is a fact that at no time in recent Middle East history have the interests of Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and now the new kid on the block; Turkey, been so aligned.

"...And each of those 4 groups bring important assets to the table of the Middle East. Iran is an energy rich Gulf power with an important nuclear card in hand; Turkey is an emerging Euro-Asian power with NATO membership; Syria is an Arab nation with major influence in Lebanon; and Hezbollah; Iran’s proxy in the region, is the power hungry thug whose obsession is to teach Israel a lesson at any cost.

"...Add those 4 forces together with a common agenda (i.e.: eradication of Israel, ousting of the US presence from the Middle East and annihilation of the Gulf regimes friendly to the US) to Israel’s plans for a definitive war in Lebanon as part of a core military outlook that sees the demonstration of overwhelming military power against intransigent opponents who are resolutely against peace as the only route to security, and you have a recipe for disaster.

"...Logic is also clear: that there is a real risk of another war before too long - and that this will be a double war, against both Iran and Hezbollah.

Whoa! say it ain't so!!

Predicting and war gaming stuff is admittedly a clairvoyant art form (Oh Snap!)

"...Iran if attacked will respond by bombing all oil refineries of the Gulf States. It will close the strait of Hormuz, which almost third of the world’s oil needs passes through. Consequentially, driving oil prices to astronomical prices, crippling any hope for an economic recovery for the U.S. and the world’s alike.

"...On the same note, I would foresee smaller attacks like the recent thwarted Times Square car bombing will become the norm for the foreseeable future. I would even see the possibility of them being laced with nuclear waste.

"...Notwithstanding the fact that the string of recent terrorist attacks triggered by U.S. incursions into Pakistan and its government's support of them could very well destabilize the central government, and put its nuclear arsenal and waste in the hands of people with the worst of intentions.

"...China in particular will not be happy about this end result. The U.S. will suffer greater backlash from the Muslim World. Iran will use this backlash against Americans and fund and facilitate greater terrorist attacks against American interest worldwide. The disruption in oil flow and the rise in prices will automatically be blamed on the American adventure, harming further America’s image and accelerating China’s ascendance to the position of a wiser world superpower.

Arab League cost

"...Arab governments will not be spared from this war either. Opted to host some of the American military bases, the Gulf States will be at the forefront in this conflict. Damage to its oil infrastructure will be enormous. Any perceived notion that these Sunni governments are aiding on destruction of a Shiite nation, it is bound to stir the emotions of the Shiite minority within these nations, leading to what is likely be a sectarian division among the population, and possibly armed conflict. Descending further into chaos and creating an uncertainty of the final outcome of the war.

"...Iraq’s militias will not hesitate in exporting ethnic violence to neighboring countries. In a depressed global environment, reforms deflate or collapse due to a lack of attention to the root cause of internal issues and a tendency for governments to focus on short-term stability at the expense of long-term solutions. Caught in a shifting, violent environment, the GCC countries now blinded and unable to navigate their way out of the mess created by war will lose trillions of dollars in the process.

Iranian cost

"...Iran will undoubtedly be the major loser. It will suffer great infrastructure damage, great number of deaths, and surely an even bigger damage to its political and economic structure that could lead to a complete collapse of the regime, similar to what we have seen in Iraq and Afghanistan. Since the battleground will be the Iranian soil, Iranian resistance and its conduct of the war will be similar to the Iraq War (if there is a ground invasion, thus far, not a single hawk has even alluded to it). Long, Bloody, and without any concrete and achievable strategic goals that could be ensured for the future. Iranians will have to rebuild their country anew.

Little Satan's cost

"...Israel has already prepared for such a scenario. Israel has distributed tons of gas masks for its population. Israeli officials announced on many occasions that the country has an unsettled score against Hezbollah and Syria. An Attack on Iran will start another front on the northern border of Israel, regardless of who will instigate it. The result of which is unpredictable, especially after what Israel had suffered in the 2006 war against Hezbollah politically and militarily.

"... Under normal circumstances, other Arab countries wouldn’t get involved in war to rescue Hezbollah. If it involves the entire country of Lebanon and Syria, however, the stakes will be high and the governments will be under extreme pressure from their populations. They will find themselves either crumbling, or politically or otherwise involved in the conflict.

Arab League - Little Satan Military Balance 2010

Surprise! Arab League actually has militaries!

Oh, it's true bay bee! Major busts be busting out in the Arab-Little Satan military balance. These changes are parading about in a new hot! deet filled gossip piece unleashed by Center for Strategic and International Studies - amazingly enough nom d'guerr'd "The Arab/Little Satan Military Balance 2010"

Uh, why pit nearly two dozen Arab nation/states with several hundred million cats against a tiny tiny spot with like only maybe 7 million cats?

Just lucky!

Since Nakbah Day, Arab League militaries have declined to the point that it's quite possible an armored squad of M1 panzers crewed by strippers could - uh, penetrate - the Residential Presidential Palace of any of Arab League's 22 despotries with little effort and very few losses.

Let alone what a conscript army from a nation of smart people could do.

"...Major changes have not taken place in the conventional military balance. Syria’s conventional military capabilities have declined steadily due to a lack of arms imports, modernization of the Syrian force structure and training methods, and the steady politicization of Syrian forces.

OTOH, Little Satan has
"... benefited from Egyptian and Jordanian adherence to their peace treaties, the disappearance of Iraq as a potential source of outside military aid to the Arab forces, and the continuing weakness of Lebanon’s regular military forces.

This sexed up dossier also reflects that Little Satan has benefited enormously from mirroring Great Satan's fully crunk unbridled inquiry, egalitarianism and that Arab League Free penchant for periodic transparent elections.

"...benefits that are substantially greater than the dollar figures show because Israel is able to draw on the most advanced US military technology, often on preferential terms, and integrate into its own advanced military industrial base.

Learning the hard way not to field their own panzers, combat jets and conscript infantry against Little Satan in old school set piece battles or clanking flanking spanking, Arab militaries are moving to the asymmetrical methodology - rocket bases shielded with tons of innocent civilians (children are the best - nicht war?), plausible deniability with proxy militias and old school terror attacks.

"...At the same time, the balance is shifting in other ways. Iran, Syria, and non-state actors that deny Israel’s right to exist continue to pose a growing threat. Hiz'B'Allah has not only rearmed, it has acquired longer-range and more effective rockets, greatly improved its command and control capabilities, and has augmented the survivability of its power structure in Lebanon.

"...There are no reliable unclassified data to document these trends, but it is clear that they are taking place. The key question is how much influence Iran and/or Syria have over Hiz'B'Allah, and the extent to which it will either be a proxy or partner in threatening or attacking Israel at any serious level of irregular warfare. Hiz'B'Allah may be more interested in political power and continued autonomy in Lebanon than posing a serious threat to Israel.

The wild card money shots are those nasty WMD witchcraft wizardries

"...The wild card in this quiet race in weapons of mass destruction is biological warfare. All of the major states in the Middle East that affect the Arab-Israel balance are acquiring the technology and industrial base to produce advanced genetically engineered biological weapons.

"...Such capabilities may also be within the grasp of non-state actors in the mid-term. There are no meaningful control or inspection options to prevent this, and no prospect that any weapons of mass destruction free zone agreement could deal even with this aspect of the arms race in the region.
