On a Heavier Note....

Original Article Here

Apparently Famine in Kenya is not all due to war and the evils of western Civilization.....or is it?

Apparently the "mother nature idiots" are being outsourced to the third world to cause problems over there.

According to the above article. A village in Kenya has had to have famine goods shipped in to feed them because they have been overrun with "vervet monkeys". These monkeys apparently come in and destroy the crops and have even killed livestock.

Here's the kicker "The town has been warned by the Kenya Wildlife Service not to harm or kill any of the monkeys, as it is a criminal offence"...

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! THEY'RE M-O-N-K-E-Y-S!!! Human beings are starving to death because they are not allowed to hurt the monkeys! So instead we ship more food into the village, which the monkeys promptly destroy.

I have a solution to the problem......SHOOT THEM! THEY'RE A BUNCH OF DAMN MONKEYS!

In fact, for $5,000 (plus expenses) I will go shoot them myself, it sounds like fun.

"OPEN LETTER TO THE GOVERNMENT OF KENYA"

To Whom it may concern:

For $5,000.00 in American currency (half up front, half on completion) plus expenses, I will be more than happy to utilize my skill with a firearm to personally mitigate the current monkey crisis, provided no questions are asked. You may reach at [deleted]. I eagerly await your reply.

This is great! These guys went camping and caught a guy hanging around the womens latrine trying to "peep" at the women. One of the guys tackled him and then they tied him to a tree until the cops came.

BEAUTIFUL!!!

The next Prez

I gotta be honest. I have no idea who I am going to vote for in the next election. There has been so much jockeying for position and we're still more than a year out. I cannot vote for Hillary...not because she's a woman. I have no problem with a female president, I think John Edwards should have just as much a chance as everyone else. My issue is that she endorses Socialized medicine and if you have been reading my blog at any length, you can see how that would conflict seriously with my view on economics. Not to mention that they have it in Canada and the UK, and it has been a disaster in both places.

On the other hand I don't really see any republicans I'd vote for either

.....I wonder if we could bring back Ross Perot?

Let the countdown begin.

Well, here we go. In a few months I'll be headed for Iraq. I think it'll be a good trip. If nothing else it'll be something to tell the grandkids about.



Since I received the news I've had a lot of time to think about it and after some soul searching, I've realized that under my bravado and patriotism, I really do believe in what we are trying to do over there. And here's the part that you won't get on the news...it's working.



Volumes have been spoken on this "surge" and whether or not it's going to work. I have to be honest; it is, and it is for obvoius reasons. When we went in the first time, the troops counts were determined based on the number of troops it would take to take an area. No thought was given to holding the ground. So we would clear out an area and move on, and as soon as we moved on the enemy wouold reoccupy the ground.



How do we fix this problem without having a military presence in Iraq for the next 30 years? Simple. We do what we have been doing since the beginning of the surge.

1) Allocate enough troops to take the ground.

2) Allocate the required number of troops to provide area security for ground already taken.

3) Allocate specialized troops to train the Iraqis (the good ones) to be able to take over

security so we can eventually move on.

4) Require the current Iraqi government to provide us with competent troops to train in defending their pwn country.





This will accomplish our stated objectives.



1) Eradication of the terrorist threat in Iraq.

2) Installation of a strong central government friendly to the free world that will not provide a

power vaccuum for terrorists to make a play for.

3) A way to end this conflict without a specific timeline.

Think carefully to yourself, whether you like Bush or not, if I am a terrorist, and the US announces that on such-and-such a date we will pull out and go home, what do I do?

The obvious answer is sit back and relax and wait for them to leave so that we can continue our operations. I have never understood how this is not obvious to everyone who wants to get out now.
