Panel discusses Obama's 'unconscionable', win or lose timetable for US troops in Afghanistan
Tags: Afghanistan Afghan Taliban timetable troops unconscionable conscionable Barack Obama President
New York Times Washington correspondent, David Sanger, author of a soon-to-be-released book on the Afghan war, notes that when President Obama ordered a troop surge in Afghanistan in 2009, with a firm timetable for withdrawal, he did so with the stated intention, that win or lose, the troops would be withdrawn by the set deadline. This unfortunate fact prompted a panel discussion as to whether the President's decision was "conscionable" or not. Of course, the word "conscionable", does not exist when it comes to the President's political aspirations, but that's besides the point. The panel also discussed some other significant points.

Aug 2009... Backpacking through Yosemite with my dad's Boy Scout troop. Cloud's Rest is 9926 feet above sea level. This hike is all about the destination, from which you'll have striking views in every direction, including, perhaps most gripping of all, straight down. Turn a complete circle and you'll be able to see any number of Yosemite landmarks, including Tenaya Lake, Half Dome, Mt. Hoffman, Sentinel Dome, North Dome, and bits of Cathedral Rocks and El Capitan, plus Merced Lake and dozens of peaks you probably won't be able to name.

National Anthem of the Soviet Union in the Mirror Universe The Soviet Union is ruled by a Communist-Stalinist dictatorship. The Soviet Union extends from the Pacific to the Eastern Europe and from North Persia to the Arctic. The Soviet Union has influence over several countries, including Venezuela, Brazil, and Uruguay in South America as well as Angola and Mozambique in Africa. Since the Great Patriotic War (World War 2), the Soviet Union has occupation zones in the vanquished Axis nations in Europe, including East Germany, East Austria, and Scotland. The primary ally of the Soviet Union is the Pan-Asian Empire. The Soviet's main rivals include the North American and Roman Empires.

"Help us bring our DIVA Girlz to life!"
Tags: bedazzle do bedazzle DIVA diva girls diva girlz teen empowerment tween empowerment
WE EDUCATE, ENCOURAGE, EMPOWER, AND ENTERTAIN! After decorating the girl's hair with lots of razzle-dazzle, we would call them a "diva" because of the uplifting and positive experience it created for their image. We noticed that having their hair bedazzled gave them confidence and created a sense of inclusiveness. The experience not only encouraged me to want to continually uplift and empower the girl's self esteem through hair art, but extend it in a way that reaches more girls - thus the DIVA Girlz mission began. BeDazzle-Do DIVA Girlz™ support and enhance character building, self empowerment, and personal development programs in schools, camps, girl organizations, troop meetings, sporting events, cheerleading squads, and more. When girls have a chance to participate and engage in learning, the impact is incredible. These events will be more impactful if the DIVA Girlz™ can only COME ALIVE! This is where we ask for your help!
May 24, 2012 Afghanistan_New Afghan soldiers trained in preparation of NATO's withdrawal
Tags: May 24
New Afghan recruits are now undergoing training in Kabul as the country prepares to take over security responsibilities in the face of NATO's imminent withdrawal. The recruits arrived at the Afghan National Army's main training center, the Kabul Military Training Center (KMTC), on the outskirts of the capital, that offers 16-week basic infantry training along with other basic courses. The new recruits have come from all over the country to form the basis of a professional Afghan army of 200000 men. "I joined up to defend my country, my pride and my family," one recruit from Kapisa Province said. The time left for them is short. Afghan forces are to take control in less than two years as NATO has pledged to withdraw in 2014. During the training, on the parade ground as they receive their first orders, the new recruits do not look very imposing, but more like teenagers on a school trip. However, once they are issued their kit, the transformation begins. For the International Security...
