Kiss your Afghan dreams goodbye
And the CBC's as well. Watch this piece from "The National", May 17. A forty-something Afghan-Canadian lady, Nelofer Pazira, visits a military equipment show and is shocked, shocked at the idea that any of the equipment might help the Canadian Forces in Afghanistan. Or the Afghans. A real Michael Moore knock-off.
The attractive lady, in full facial frontal, has long locks and is wearing tight jeans and high boots. I would love to have seen her in Kandahar or Kabul in 1999.
This is how she refers to the C-130J tactical air transporter that the Canadian Air Force seems on the verge of buying:
The segment shows a still image of the C-130J similar to this one. Which looks like some sort of bomber in brutal action--unless you know the bright things are defensive measures. But 99% of viewers will be duly shocked, shocked. Shameful misrepresentation.
Pay no more taxes until the CBC is guillotined. I HAVE HAD IT. Rarely, guess what, have I been so angered by agenda-driven "journalism". Let us "engage in a conversation", as Ms. Pazira suggests, and Jack off. Let us know what you think.

As if...we need these capable aircrafts basically used by the US military...Well, then, that's the evil kiss of death one must conclude. But what about the UK, Australian, Italian, and Danish air forces that are also operating this transport?

I guess she was too busy to read this bit on how well the Dutch approach seems to be working in some cases:

"The police units in the province were in worse shape and more poorly led. At many remote posts few officers were on duty and officers wore civilian clothes, not uniforms.
Many posts also have separate tribal allegiances and do not cooperate tactically, Western military officials said.
"They just have their own islands and protect their families and protect their villages and that is it," said a Dutch officer, Captain Ninke. (Dutch military rules allow most deployed soldiers to be identified only by rank and first name.)
The Dutch were also trying to encourage the local police to act against a group of Taliban who had stolen a police truck.
Two local chiefs, Abdul Karim and Sadiq, said their general had told them that whoever captured the truck could keep it, so they were trying to steal the truck back, rather than kill the Taliban driving it.
"Do you know how hard it is to capture a truck from the Taliban without damaging it?" Sadiq asked.
Poppy cultivation was also widespread at, or near, the police posts. At best, the police were tolerating the trade, the Dutch said. At worst, they were part of it."
Will post/share transcript when ready....
