World Order After Next

Hegemonic Hotness! Wiping clean and drawing again the face of Power Balancin’ is not unlike gaming players at the club (oh snap!) India is visually undressing China, China is lustfully stalking on Great Satan’s fully crunk military, while America is winding down her most excellent adventures in Iraq and Afghanistan and fixing to might maybe […]

 

Sino Strategic Trust

Chengdu! Sino speak for asymmetrical irony ala puissance – nicht wahr? Great Satan’s exDef Sec’s semi recent hello about China’s massive opaque military bling bling got dissed down on touch down with a sad boring asset’d lecture about Taiwan yet it hasn’t stopped Great Satan from trying to be cool to a near field wannabe. […]

 


Macking MeK

Mac’ing! For the unhiply helpless (it’s true – there are bunches to go ’round – just check the commentary here sometime – shocking…) to mack or macking is a term au courant from the military term to Make A Connection (all’s fair in love and war, nicht wahr) as in courting game (a measure of […]

 


While We Celebrated, Obama Sneaked Terrorist Into US Courts on July 4

Did you know that a suspected Somali terrorist was sneaked into a U.S. criminal court in New York City over the July 4th holiday? Most people don’t. While we were all distracted by celebrating our Independence Day President Obama was sneaking foreign terrorists into our civil court system instead of taking him to Guantanamo. A […]

 

Persia’s Pres And The Supreme Leader

Vilayat-e Faqih!: : Aside from solid solidarity on breaking the world’s record for public executions in a years time,:  unsolid solidarity signals are blasting out of Gay Free Persia’s hot gossip, sweet deets and judicious jank ’bout divy’ing divisions at the highest levels of Preacher Command are off the hook! See, the battle over the Persian Version […]

 


Would Ottomans Do Syria?

Janissaries! Since the traditional despot remedial activity in Syria seems to be an endless sexercise in futility (aren’t they all? Why even tolerate their existence?) and a destabilizing factor in regional stability  – What if – the Ottomans decided to do Syria? GsGf’s Ottomanic expert Dr Soner ÇaÄŸaptay (Oh! He got game bay bee!) shares […]

 

Info Age Arms Race

Information is intell and intell is power. Thus – unlimited info = unlimited power! Oh, you know this is so. The very same cat that enabled two of Great Satan’s hyperpuissant fans to unleash “Shi Lang” upon a world worried about Collectivist China’s not so Peaceful Looking Rise – returns to continue to put steel […]

 

“Killing To Control”

Bloody L! Congrats to W. F. Owen – long time British Army Theorist, Little Satan fan and GsGf’s  asymmetrical warfare counselor – scored a significant coup with publication in the latest issue of British Army Review (PDF available here and at Small Wars Journal)  with the delightfully crunk deadly ditty: “Killing Your Way To Control” […]

 


Syrian Delirium

Suriya al- Kubra! Syria – punches far above her weight class in diplopolititary deals. Instead of cool stuff like Hooters, literacy rates off the charts or creating advanced avionics – Bashar Bay Bee follows poppa Assad’s script utilizing asymmetrical assets creating a slave trading Syria, abusing Palestinians as a strategic minority resource, fiddling about with […]

 

Incoming!

Make your brain more bigger with hot deets, big phased cookies and intell dossiers from the cool kids @ Foreign Policy Initiatives Libya Rebels in Libya’s western Nafusa mountain range were less than 50 miles from the nation’s capital Thursday and edging closer to their first significant victory outside their mountain stronghold, pounding the small […]

 

Doctrine Of Constrainment

Constrained! That’s what they calls it after the ‘rents freak the freak out about next month’s Visa statement showcasing over a hundred bucks splurged on liq liq liquor (liquor) on a Tuesday night (to be fair – please note a Jalapeno burger de luxe should be in there somewhere):  – with the appropriate gratuity – […]

 

Drones Alone

They are relentless predators. They never sleep, never stop and cannot be killed. They tote death, annihilation and misery to enemies. They are Great Satan’s all weather killer drones. Now that it’s official COIN has been short changed in AFPAK – drones alone remain the “Only Game In Town”and are reproducing at a wonderfully crunk […]

 

Obama’s Contempt for Our Soldiers

Obama made what many are calling a mere “mistake” when he visited the 10th Mountain Division. His “mistake” came in when he said that a soldier that received the Medal of Honor was still alive. Of course, the soldier in question, Sergeant First Class Jared Monti, was killed in Iraq in 2006 and did receive […]

 

Obama’s Medal of Honor Gaffe

Somehow I get the impression that our Community Organizer in Chief doesn’t take military matters terribly seriously. After announcing that he would effectively surrender in Afghanistan, but leave most of our troops there hanging in the breeze for awhile, he made a poorly prepared speech to a division that has been heavily involved in the […]

 

The psychology of war and warriors

Peter Wehner writes about Obama’s decision to draw down troops in Afghanistan, something that (just coincidentally, of course) will take place right before Obama’s reelection bid. Wehner is appalled, and he explains that this gross political calculation isn’t the way it needs to be: I have the advantage of having served a president during wartime. […]

 

UnAssing AFPAK

Jirga! 44’s hello ’bout ‘nnouncing the AFPAK Surge will be scaling down by 10K troops this year enroute to unSurging the force levels had some interesting stuff in it. Kinda. Zooming out of AFPAK (which featured only tiny bite sized bits about Land of the Pure – the PAK part of AFPAK) 44 unveiled a […]

 

Obama: Who Needs Victory When We Can Negotiate With The TahleeBahn?

President Barack Obama came before the American people tonight to unleash his latest campaign speech disguised as a foreign policy address. It was a presentation that even Politico calls “boring and predictable, balanced to please critics,” and one that “did not change the debate about the war.” But, one thing does seem like news. Obama […]

 

Sirens Of Isolationism

“O Tay Mr Peabody! Set the dial on the Way Back Machine to 1911!” Prob the best descrip of the recent GOP Debatery that CNN King Grunting Guy kept grunting through (yeah – it was kinda gross) “…Mitt Romney sounded not so terribly different from Obama on Afghanistan, with the crucial difference that he wants […]

 

Army Day!

“This We’ll Defend!” Joyeuex Anniversaire’! (#236 in fact!) to Great Satan’s all weather original voltiguerres – the Army! “…Two hundred and thirty-six years ago, the United States Army was established to defend our Nation. From the Revolutionary War to the current operations taking place around the world, our Soldiers remain Army Strong with a deep […]

 

Libyan Box

War Powers! “44 has not sought, and Congress has not provided, authorization for the introduction or continued involvement of Great Satan’s Armed Forces in Libya.:  Congress has the constitutional prerogative to withhold funding for any unauthorized use of Great Satan’s Armed Forces, including for unauthorized chicanery regarding Libya.” Whee! So what? 44’s predecessors have sweetly […]

 

Morning Glory

Learning to love living in the shadow of the new clear sphinx! Persia’s Preacher Command swears out loud to swap production of higher-grade uranium to an underground bunker and trip, trip, triple production capacity! Iran’s Revolutionary Guard’s (no doubt the official guardians of any future new clear weaponry stock) Farsi site GERDAB sweetly floats a […]

 

France Commemorates D-Day With Pacifist Moonbattery

Yesterday was the 67th anniversary of D-Day, on which 1,465 American soldiers died to liberate France from German National Socialists. The French government saw fit to commemorate the date by allowing a moonbat artist to clutter the beach with this tasteless desecration: Original caption: An installation of 1,000 casts of Russian, German and American combat […]

 

A sentimental service in a cynical society — our Navy

Sentiment: “refined or tender emotion; manifestation of the higher or more refined feelings.” Ours is a cynical age. The traditional values that defined us as Americans (weirdly old-fashioned ideas such as the belief that we are a wholesome, good and honorable culture) seem to have been jettisoned. Even though I believe the majority of Americans […]

 

The Story of Stars and Stripes Honor Flight – Documentary Trailer

Religious Freedom Lives to See Another Memorial Day in Houston

Excellent news on Memorial Day: VA bureauweenies have dropped demands that ministers keep references to Christianity out of their prayers. Assistant U.S. Attorney Fred Hindrichs told federal District Judge Lynn Hughes that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs will not demand that Memorial Day prayers at Houston National Cemetery Monday be as non-denominational as possible.

Memorial Day 2011: THIS Is What American Troops Are Made Of…

For Memorial Day, I don’t usually post much, preferring to dedicate the day to memorializing our troops. To do that this year, I am going to share this story about the mettle of our troops. What follows are excerpts from remarks by Marine Lt. Gen. John F. Kelly to the Semper Fi Society of St. […]
