THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER

A favorite photo by freelance Afghanistan correspondent Michael Yon: PJs on a casualty run. I’ve been helping support him with a little here and there for several years. You should, too. You know?

Time for Barry to cut-and-run from Afghanistan? It certainly would fit the rest of his dictator-loving foreign policy. Leaking the latest unhappy command report to the Guardian, of all media, isn’t grounds for confidence. Meanwhile, Michael Yon says there’s already a crippling shortage of helicopters to ferry American troops around the mountains. Accidental? Or the [...]

"The Taliban are very brave, but they are ignorant brutal men who murder locals who do not support them, and brave doesn’t stop bullets." –Michael Yon Sounds like the Viet Cong. Hope they don’t have the Cong’s tenacity. So far they seem not to have. But this "good war," as the Dems used to call [...]

Instapundit clings somewhat precariously to the military weapons wielded by the Mexican drug cartels to try to show that not all their guns come from the U.S. Fox News, to which he links, has apparently taken his side of the argument.Their concern, of course, is new gun sale restrictions here at home.

A harsh, depressing video via Michael Yon. Until you remember all the comrades of these scum we’re eradicating. Someday we’ll get them, too. UPDATE: Or not. A new pro-Jihad magazine in North Carolina, of all places, has to make you wonder.

Like Michael Yon says: Iraq is only a few decades behind the West, but Afghanistan is on another planet. Barry and the Democrat’s quagmire, coming up. [...]

Given Barry’s many policy flipflops since his election, and his Code Pink, etc. base of support, it’s not hard to imagine him finding a rhetorical way out of Afghanistan–especially now that the campaign there is becoming harder than ever to win. For one thing, freelance correspondent Michael Yon says the administration’s proposed thirty thousand new [...]

What, before Baby Barry could make his first trip there in more than two years? Before the Dems could cut and run? Independent correspondent Michael Yon says so. His colleague Michael Totten says it is all but over, and that we won. But this is the Middle East, not middle Europe. So minor violence could [...]
