I was watching the news when I heard the commentator discuss the situation in Afghanistan.
I kept hearing that phrase over and over when I drifted away from foreign policy.
What was the hidden meaning of “the situation in Afghanistan?”
Obviously people are finally taking my advice and sending the cast of Jersey Shore to dangerous world war zones where they can be eliminated.
Mike Sorrentino, also known as “the Situation,” is finally being sent to Afghanistan.
Now if only Snookie were sent to Iraq, pop culture would be slightly less vapid by an infantecimal amount.
(She spells it “Snooki” without the “e.” I am right, she is wrong.)
I have never watched the Jersey Shore. As a lifelong New Yorker growing up, I have nothing to say about New Jersey. Outside of Governor Chris Christie and a girl I liked at Summer camp in the 1980s, the state is worthless.
(Please do not cite Springsteen. He does nothing for me, although I did like Bon Jovi and Skid Row.)
The Situation in Afghanistan would be a great reality show. One minute he is flexing his muscles and preparing to fight, and then he realizes that the Taliban have guns and are unimpressed by his celebrity.
Snookie could finally get romantic with a goat. It could teach her Pashtun, and she could teach it…well, not everything has to be reciprocal.
She could show them the naked pictures she took of herself. They would then try to stone or behead her since even showing ankles is forbidden under Shariah law.
While it is tempting to have the entire cast waterboarded, coercive interrogation methods should only be used to extract vital intelligence information. I do not picture Snookie offering anything vital, informative, or intelligent, at least not from a security standpoint.
I do not know if any of these people are connected to Mr. Big (actor Chris Noth, not the 1980s rock band), although deporting the cast of Sex and the City would be fine as well.
So let’s have the Situation in Afghanistan along with the rest of them, and may none of them ever return.
America can be great again if we just dumb down the rest of the world to levels below us.

Well, don’t fret – Rupert Murdoch is working on just that!

We don’t have a situation in Afghanistan. We have a Free Pass. Where is the outrage… no stated purpose…establishing withdrawal timelines which are counterproductive to COIN doctrine; a corrupt government… Witin a day of my arrival, 5 senior-ranking US Officers were killed by an IED…nothing reported but in their hometowns…the airport I flew into was the target of a synchronized, planned attack…several people (civilian contractors and Soldiers) killed…the Taliban attackers were all killed, but nothing in the news… How about all the contracts and irregularities in their award? Certainly someone from the Bush Administration is still handling these contracts…???
The great news is victory in Iraq…we have pulled all our combat troops out!! Truth in lending…how about the Paul Harvey version… Before I discuss the differences between the “Advise and Assist Brigades” and the Brigade Combat Teams, let’s first look at their similarities… they have the same Table and Organization of Equipment (in laymen’s terms, this means they have the same number of tanks, Bradleys, Soldiers, grenades, Machine Guns, EVERYTHING is the same…). They go through the exact same training, from small unit collective, 4 man stacks, Table XII gunnery, battalion level and brigade level ARTEP at the NTC… The difference is this: the AABs have a Military Transition Team (MiTT) assigned to them…OPCON. When I was a MiTT Chief, we were embedded with an Iraqi unit, and the Brigade Combat Team provided us with logistical support. We sent them, and other entities in Iraq, daily reports, weekly reports, monthly reports, and attended a meeting with them once a week. Now, the MiTT reports directly to, and answers directly to the Brigade Combat Team Commander…or should I say, the Advise and Assist Brigade Commander… Welcome to the Shirley Sherrod spin zone…

Sorry, but the left dumbed itself down for the last 10 years with no help from anyone but themselves and their own hate. Thanks to NYTs, Huffy post, CNN, NBC, MSBNC, Katie, Olberman, Madcow…you freaking morons voted against a man who couldnt have a third term if his life depended on it just so you could put a black man into office because it would look sooooo cool to the rest of the world and make you feel good about yourselves.
