We now have to focus on finishing up the mission in Afghanistan. It will take a surge and an invasion into Pakistan, to cut the throats of what’s left of the Al Qaeda and Taliban who scurried across the border to re-group. But until B. Hussein Obama is out of office, that isn’t likely to happen.

Assuming we win in Afghanistan(highly unlikely) the Afghans will treat us withthe same gratitude the Euros have for liberating them in ww2. While we are at it,pull out of nato as well.

But Hershell Erwin brings me back on topic and back to earth about Michael Yon and his excellent unbiased war reporting. He is a rarity among current War Correspondence in that we/I can depend on him to call events as they are, good or bad and not persuaded by a tingling up his leg or a political position. The Obama and Dem threat of the "Fairness Doctrine Act" (FD) and the propensity of those proposing this act is not one inclined to permit views critical of their policies. Sorta in the mode of USSR Pravda where “A lie that advances Communism is a truth” and nothing contrary permitted. The US media has been in the tank for the Dems though out this election and the past few years knowing the FD Act will insure their inability to compete with those who report it as it is and this FD will not hamper but insure their continued existence by eliminating their competition. If Michael Yon's and the rare war correspondence reports derogatory information about Obama’s war management they may be censored, refused embed status, or denied theater entry. That news commentators were kicked off Obama's plan for daring to present information for public discussion that did not compliment Obama one could expect similar Oboma actions toward these war correspondence. I could easily expect we are further threaten by a similar effort to throttle Internet discussion, the best source of contrary discussion. One of Obama's goals is to have free Internet and if the Gov wants to control an entity it must first own, contract, or pay for the service. Hershell- You Canucks as well as the rest of the world have begat what you begot and I predict will want another Cowboy in the office of the US Presidency. I note the feeling that liberal Canadian’s got you into the Afghanistan morass and get the impression from a short read that with rare exception only the US is at war with terrorism. I hope that is wrong but as my old Canuck ski instructor said in my early ski lessons, “You fall well.” I hope that is so here but if not “Happy trails” anyway…. http://www.royrogers.com/happy_trails.html Domostene: I have used the French and European percentages of use of nuclear generation for years and never understood why this country was not so rationally persuaded. The environmental groups are a very large and vocal and legal wing of Obama’s team and consider nuclear waste worse than a pox it is patently NUCLEARRRRRRRRR. And Happy trails to all… Read this and sing it… It’s not what you hear about what real Cowboys (W) are. http://www.royrogers.com/happy_trails.html Lyrics to "Happy Trails" by Dale Evans Rogers Happy trails to you, until we meet again.

Lyrics to “Happy Trails” by Dale Evans Rogers
Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
Happy trails to you, keep smilin’ until then.
Who cares about the clouds when we’re together?
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.
Happy trails to you, ’till we meet again.

Some trails are happy ones,
Others are blue.
It’s the way you ride the trail that counts,
Here’s a happy one for you.

Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
Happy trails to you, keep smilin’ until then.
Who cares about the clouds when we’re together?
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.

Happy trails to you, ’till we meet again.
Alternate Religious Verse:
Happy trails to you, it’s great to say “hello”.
And to share with you the trail we’ve come to know.
It started on the day that we met Jesus,
He came into our hearts and then he freed us.
For a life that’s true, a happy trail to you.
