Another year, our land without smiles...

our Afghanistan 2010. Thank you your good work.

And thank you the fine picture our Gen. McChrystal, midst our troops...wrongfully (cheap shot) relieved his command.

Gen. Petraeus, our warriors, country need McChrystal. As well Afghanistan and Pakistan. Why? Warrior's warrior.

What's a little "locker-room" talk, days of War, anyhow?

Get tight my President, sardines.

Slide 31 awfully funny looking cattle

Not sure if its the weather that creates these short lookin' "cattle".
.
.
Seems to me more like they're goats or maybe even sheep. But hey, I'm only a vetran of several dozen petting zoo visits with the kids, not a goat-or sheep- herder, what do I know.

Awfully Funny Looking....

Surely these cattle are sheep and few goats in a herd.
This small variety of cattle is common in mountain regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Yes, they do look funny.
Don,t know exactly why they are so small, probably, lack of vegetation and dry mountains are cause to the effect.

Big Price to Pay

The is not doubt war means taking lives. Thousands of innocent people were killer, who had nothing to do with politics or terrorism. This cruel American act will bit back in many forms for a long long time to come. American history has proved the nation to be a violent, war-mongering, life taking nation. America must suffer. Now a days when I hear news killing innocent people in Uncle Sam's land, I think its the Karma biting back. To make the equation equal, either stop the war and do whatever US can to initial a long term relief action plan for the victims of the war or be prepared to see the terrorism results of the terrorism America is now implanting. Terrorism is global, and it is no good to fight terrorism by terrorizing innocent. I do not think Bush or his accomplice Obama wants aliens to come and kill american says "the stronger does what they can, and the weaker suffer what they must."

I thought Obama is 'the' person, but alas...same same with a different name, and style etc.

And as a second thought, if U.S. still thinks it is a superpower, and a unilateral leader, just give a mirror to all Americans. Might make a nice stimulus plan!
