Real Oath Keepers

18 Month Troop Build Up Equals 2-4 Years

So much for 18 months until troop draw down begins in Afghanistan. Defense Secretary Gates, another one of America’s usurpers, has made it clear that troops will likely continue fighting in Afghanistan for the next two to four years. The U.S. will not be able to turn over control of Afghanistan to it’s rightful, elected leadership known as the Taliban, because U.S. troops are there to crush the Taliban and install puppet leadership. However, since most Afghanistan citizens supported the Taliban and their ouster of the opium drug lords the U.S. was sent to protect, our troops face a major uphill battle. It is highly likely that U.S. troops will have to kill on the order of one million or more Afghanistan civilians, as they did in Iraq, to ensure there is no fight left in the people, and they will remain subdued when American forces leave control to the new puppets in charge. Gates is more than happy for the Taliban to lay low while U.S. troops secure control of all the important assets within the country. In his eyes, this will only make enslaving their peoples easier. The idea that they must renounce Al-qaida is a joke, because Al-qaida is their own creation, and is made up of mostly white skinned pretenders like Adam Gadahn a.k.a. Adam Pearlman and other fakes. Gates is planning on a long term relationship with Afghanistan, because when U.S. troops are done, the country will no longer belong to it’s people. It will belong to the same traitorous usurpers that run the U.S., and are responsible for these wars. This is what you get when you are working for the enemy while they destroy your homeland. War, war, lies, lies, and more lies, and more war. Don’t expect it to end with Afghanistan. Iran is next on the list.

WASHINGTON – Defense Secretary Robert Gates says Americans should expect a significant U.S. military presence in Afghanistan for two years to four years more.

Just as in Iraq, the U.S. eventually will turn over provinces to local security forces, allowing the United States to bring the number of troops down steadily, according to Gates, who appeared on three Sunday talk shows with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to discuss President Barack Obama’s new Afghan war plan.

That plan includes an increase of 30,000 U.S. troops, followed by a scheduled transition to a greater role for Afghan forces that would start in July 2011. Obama’s plan would increase to 100,000 the number of U.S. troops there, marking the largest expansion of the war since it began eight years ago.

Gates acknowledged that the additional U.S. forces will mean more casualties at first. He also said he’s happy with the results of an offensive in Helmand province.

“I think one of the reasons that our military leaders are pretty confident is that they have already begun to see changes where the Marines are present in southern Helmand,” Gates said.

The Pentagon chief said the initial U.S. troop withdrawal in July 2011 might involve only a small number of troops. He rejected suggestions that setting a transition date would embolden the Taliban. They read newspapers and are able to determine public opinion in the United States and Europe, he said.

Gates said he doesn’t believe the Taliban will get more aggressive, and would welcome it if they lay low until the target date in 2011 because that would give coalition troops opportunities to make great progress in stabilizing Afghanistan.

Clinton said one area that may not show much progress is winning over Taliban leaders.

They “have to renounce al-Qaida, renounce violence. They have to be willing to abide by the constitution of Afghanistan and live peacefully,” she said.

“We have no firm information whether any of those leaders would be at all interested in following that kind of a path,” she said. “In fact, I’m highly skeptical that any of them would.”

But both Clinton and Gates said having a target date will help move both countries toward a successful transition.

“What we’ve done and what the president’s direction to the commanders on the ground is very clearly: We want this to move. We want it to move quickly,” said Clinton.

Obama’s combination of a troop increase and a transition target is intended to balance “a demonstration of resolve with also communicating a sense of urgency to the Afghan government that they must step up to the plate in terms of recruiting their soldiers, training their soldiers and getting their soldiers into the field,” Gates said

“It’s an effort to try and let the Afghans know that while we intend to have a relationship and support them for a long time, the nature of that relationship is going to begin to change in July of 2011,” Gates said. “And as the security component comes down, the economic, development and the political relationship will become a bigger part of the relationship.”

Clinton and Gates appeared on ABC’s “This Week,” CBS’ “Face the Nation” and NBC’s “Meet the Press.” The interviews were taped Saturday and the networks provided transcripts in advance of the shows’ broadcast.

Bin Laden Becomes Where’s Waldo

Finding Osama Bin Laden, the patsy set up to take the fall for 911, has become a lot like the game “Where in the world is Waldo”. Although this man is accused of being the terrorist behind the events of 911, the facts just don’t add up that way. Considering that five Mossad agents were caught dancing and celebrating the collapse of the twin towers, with explosives in their van, it’s amazing that people still believe some guys in a cave were capable of such a coordinated attack. The truth is the terrorists are in the White House, Congress, Senate, Judicial system, private non-federal reserve bank, media, hollywood, and many other places. The real terrorists still dwell right here in America, not just amongst our people, but in positions of power all across our nation. So, why is it that we can’t seem to pin down where Bin Laden is? It’s not that hard to catch somebody hiding in the mountains with a kidney dialysis machine, and all the support equipment necessary to keep someone alive with it. Regardless of all the troops scouring the Afghanistan and Pakistan mountains and borders, this magician Bin Laden seems to be able to scoot in and out of either country at will.

The real reason Osama can’t be found is because Obama and his criminals would lose their fabled boogie man, and thus their current justification for the war. The lies that started these wars have fallen flat on their face, i.e. WMD’s and other fallacies, but as long as they have their boogie man to chase around, millions of Americans will support killing innocent Arabic peoples, without ever once thinking to take out the criminals responsible right here at home. Any Soldier worth his salt knows it’s not that hard to track down an injured enemy, wherever he may hide. Our murderous usurpers lay the ground work for continuin the war without chasing Osama (Waldo) by saying al-qaida will flourish without him. Of course it will, because al-qaida is their own creation, and Osama has nothing to do with it. Now, if you’d like to go after the real terrorists, get our Basic Training manual and fall in line. Otherwise, don’t come crying to us when you finally realize you’ve been had.

WASHINGTON – National security adviser James Jones said Sunday that al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden still spends some time inside Afghanistan. Most recent U.S. estimates have placed bin Laden inside Pakistan. But Jones, a retired general, said the best estimate is that bin Laden “is somewhere in North Waziristan, sometimes on the Pakistani side of the border, sometimes on the Afghan side of the border.”

Jones described it as “very, very rough, mountainous area. Generally ungoverned and we’re going to have to get after that to make sure that this very, very important symbol of what al-Qaida stands for is either, once again, on the run or captured or killed.”

Earlier, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the U.S. hasn’t had any good intelligence for years on bin Laden’s whereabouts. He said he couldn’t confirm reports that bin Laden had been seen recently in Afghanistan.

“If, as we suspect, he is in North Waziristan, it is an area that the Pakistani government has not had a presence in, in quite some time,” Gates said.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said it was important to kill or capture bin Laden and other al-Qaida leaders, “but certainly you can make enormous progress absent that.”

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said people in the region have told him bin Laden “moves back and forth.” He said the hunt for bin Laden has prevented him from establishing bases for training and equipping terrorists, adding, “Don’t think al-Qaida could not flourish without him if we give them a safe haven.”

Jones appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Gates and Clinton were on ABC’s “This Week,” NBC’s “Meet the Press” and CBs’ “Face the Nation.” McCain was on NBC.

Congress Pushing for Conflict in Pakistan

The usurpers infesting our Congress are now screaming about what will be done with Pakistan. You thought the troop buildup in Afghanistan was meant to end the war? Sorry for the bad news. Our infiltrators have made enemies all around the globe, and the few who haven’t been completely subdued in the Middle East are left for you to trample. Just days after Obama orders 30,000 more troops into Afghanistan, these snakes want to ensure that any resistance in Pakistan will also be squashed. The crying about Pakistan nuclear weapons is not because Pakistan is a threat to the United States, but is rather because many Middle Eastern nations are positive who the real terrorists are. ROK members make no mistake about it, one Middle Eastern country is far more dangerous than all the rest. It is called one of America’s greatest allies, but the truth is, this nation has repeatedly attacked America. For instance, the USS Liberty attack on June 8, 1967 and the attacks on 9/11. In fact, the attacks of 9/11 mirror their previous terrorist attack on the King David Hotel in Palestine, which they OPENLY admit to.

You can not, and will not win a war fighting friendlies for your own enemy usurpers. Instead, you will find yourself used up and discarded. This is why 25% of America’s homeless population is made of Veterans. These people do NOT care about you, your family, or your country. While you are away destroying their few remaining enemies in the Middle East, they are setting your homeland to ruin. It’s time you step up to the plate, get with our Basic Training, and help us fight off the enemy within. Those whom you are told are your enemies will rise up in SUPPORT of your efforts, if you start going after the real problem, i.e. the termites that are eating our homeland alive, before you end up fighting a war in 10 different countries at the same time.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama’s planned troop buildup in Afghanistan came in for more skepticism on Capitol Hill Thursday with lawmakers zeroing in on how the U.S. will deal with terrorist havens in neighboring Pakistan.

“What happens in Pakistan … will do more to determine the outcome in Afghanistan than any increase in troops or shift in strategy,” said Sen. John Kerry, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Obama has depicted the effort to defeat al-Qaida as the center of his war strategy, but his national address Tuesday contained no details on how he planned to accelerate attacks on the terror network. The U.S. has relied largely on drone-launched missile strikes in recent months, and those operations are classified.

Opening a hearing on Afghan strategy, Kerry, D-Mass., said that it is the “presence of al-Qaida in Pakistan, its direct ties to and support from the Taliban in Afghanistan and the perils of an unstable, nuclear-armed Pakistan that drive our mission,”

Sen. Richard Lugar, the committee’s ranking Republican, chimed in, saying the president and his administration “must justify their plan not only on the basis of how it will affect Afghanistan, but also on how it will impact our efforts to promote a much stronger alliance with Pakistan.”

Lugar said “it is not clear how an expanded military effort in Afghanistan addresses the problem of Taliban and al-Qaida safe havens across the border in Pakistan.”

It was the second day of hearings into Obama’s plan to send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan — the largest expansion of the war since it began eight years ago. As with a day of hearings Wednesday before other lawmakers, the committee was questioning Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen.

Mullen used his opening remarks to assure Kerry and Lugar that the administration’s strategy takes Pakistan into account. “The linkage between Pakistan and Afghanistan is almost an absolute,” Mullen said.

“A stable, supportive Afghanistan will make a big difference on how Pakistan sees its future,” he said.

Both Gates and Mullen sought to underscore the threat that al-Qaida poses in Pakistan, which maintains its own arsenal of nuclear weapons.

Gates said he considered the dangers to be greater than they were 18 months ago because al-Qaida has become “deeply involved” with Taliban forces operating inside Pakistan that are trying to destabilize the government there.

Mullen said al-Qaida’s pursuit of nuclear weapons and interest in Pakistan is “extraordinarily dangerous.”

Kerry said he believes Pakistan cooperation is vital and that the administration needs to do a better job making that case.

Democrat Robert Menendez of New Jersey gave one of the most spirited arguments against the troop buildup.

“I just don’t get the sense at this point in time that there is a comprehensive policy that says that I should vote for billions of dollars more to send our sons and daughters in harm’s way in a way that we will ultimately succeed in our national security,” Menendez said.

One particular problem is Pakistan, he added.

“They don’t seem to want a strategic relationship. They want the money. They want the equipment. But at the end of the day, they don’t want a relationship that costs them too much,” Menendez said.

He referred to military and nonmilitary aid to Pakistan. Congress has approved spending $1.5 billion a year over five years mainly on economic and social programs there.

Despite the misgivings, members of Congress seem poised to back the president’s plan, which encountered only tepid criticism Wednesday in the Senate Armed Services and House Foreign Affairs committees.

Critics conceded that Obama will have little trouble early next year getting Congress to provide an added $30 billion or $40 billion to carry it out.

After her morning testimony, Clinton will take the administration’s case for escalating the war to NATO’s top council on Friday. She will meet with allied foreign ministers, plus representatives of other countries that have troops in Afghanistan, and the allied ministers will hold a separate session with Russian officials.

Clinton told congressional committees this week that she expects the allies to make new troop contributions, but it’s not yet clear how many will be offered, or how soon.

Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the top commander of U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan, is to attend the foreign ministers meeting Friday to lay out in detail the military plan.

3 Soldiers Die to Protect Poppy Fields

What doesn’t make sense is why would Afghan civilians blow each other up? In these attacks, more of their own people are killed, than that of the enemy, every time. Simple logic will tell you that there is more to these attacks than suicidal jihads. How do these “insurgents” get away with bombing our troops over and over again? How do they get the sophisticated remote detonated shape charge explosives, and how do they always know where troops will be to make their attacks so effective?  Maybe our troops should start looking closely at any non-American “help”. What Arab person would blow up a market full of Arab children if the U.S. is their enemy? Would you bomb your own people to deal with an invading force, or would you focus your attacks on the invading force? You don’t have to be a genius to figure this stuff out. The people placing the bombs are not who you think it is, but the connection is easy to figure out when you realize you are guarding poppy and heroin production that the Taliban tried to rid itself of. Follow the poppies to find the enemy, but be careful, because they are amongst your ranks as well.  Get our Basic Training now and start battling for the real cause.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Aug. 1 — After the deadliest month yet for U.S. troops in Afghanistan, three American soldiers were killed Saturday in a bombing in a southern province, and a French soldier died in a separate attack north of Kabul.

The U.S. servicemen were killed when two roadside bombs exploded while they were on patrol in Kandahar province, the military said in a statement. The increased use of such powerful bombs by Taliban insurgents has been a major factor in the U.S. military’s rising death toll, which reached 43 in July, the highest level since the war began in late 2001.

A U.S. military spokeswoman in Afghanistan said no other details about the blasts would be available until the families of those killed had been notified.

“Their sacrifices, although very difficult to accept, were not made in vain,” Brig. Gen. Eric Tremblay, a military spokesman, said in a statement.

In a separate incident in a valley north of the capital, a French soldier was killed and two others were wounded during sustained fighting with insurgents. The soldiers came under attack by the Taliban while patrolling with Afghan soldiers, the French military said, according to news services.

The killing raised France’s death toll in Afghanistan to 29 soldiers, and President Nicolas Sarkozy’s office issued a statement that reiterated “France’s determination to fight, alongside the Afghan people,” against terrorism.

U.S. casualties have risen since President Obama ordered tens of thousands of additional U.S. troops to Afghanistan to stage an offensive against the Taliban in the southern province of Helmand. Military analysts have predicted more violence as the soldiers push into areas long held by the Taliban. The insurgents have fought back with a range of weapons, including mortars and rocket-propelled grenades, in addition to the bombs planted for passing convoys.

Some observers say violence could spike before this month’s presidential election, a test for Afghanistan’s fragile democracy. With five months to go in the year, 2009 is already the second-deadliest year for Americans in the Afghan war: So far, 133 Americans have died, compared with 155 in all of 2008, according to the Web site icasualties.org, which tracks military deaths.
