from the 24th to the 29th of September King Abdulah hosted a small confrence in Mecca present were members of the Afganistan Goverment, Taliban leaders and leaders from the Mujahdeen. Apparently it was a effort to try to get the sides in the Afghan conflict talking, reports of developments are quite scarse at the moment but the sides are expected to meet again. On a slightly similar note 'British envoy says mission in Afghanistan is doomed, according to leaked memo' http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article4860080.ece And this is the opinion of Brigadier Mark Carleton Smith who is the most senior British Officer over there (until he is replaced) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/7653367.stm We are expecting to deploy a further 7000 troops to the region early next year to help bolster the position.
I am not sure what 'victory' would even look like in Afghanistan. It is such a primitive place. Hardly even qualifies as a country. But here are some training videos to look at. Not my videos but I did once get my photo taken with Pres. Karzai. lol
What did the Tabalin did to young boys in the kite flyer. Well the PLO did the same thing in Lebanon to the Christian children in the mountain villages. These are backward saudi trained sunni thinking people that the left seems to embrace which undermines any war with them.
From Coin people days, I thought you were stationed in Germany on an air field base. Welcome home by the way and I am glad to see that you bike to work and stop not to smell the roses but to capture the beauty of your trip with your camera.
Thanks Andy. No, I never got lucky enough to get stationed in Germany...just stopped over on my way to other places. lol Unfortunately, all I have seen of Germany was the inside of an airport.
Wowza, the terrorists benefactors and financiers get to meet up with their brethren in the field finally. A wonderful opportunity that the USA missed with the UAV bomber that could have taken out the whole miserable lot of miscreants.
