#1 The Pentagon asked the nonprofit research organization to review strategies to thwart insurgents.

Think we need a procurement requirement that identifies studies which are the result of earmarks in the funding bills to support work in people's districts. Throw in the office's GO or Secretary's name which did the request if it wasn't an earmark.

#2 They should just read Rantburg to have all their questions answered. Cheaper too - even if they hit the tip jar.

#3 WAFF.com > TORONTO SUN - EUROEPANS SEE WHAT AMERICANS DO NOT. Many Euros hold that NATO was created to defend Europe only from Soviet aggression, NOT TO USE UP ITS MILFORS FIGHTING AMERICA'S WARS FRO AMERICA E.G. IRAQ-AFGHANISTAN??? Article - USA needs up to 400,000 Amer troops in actually defeat the mostly Pashtun-led resistance in Pakistan-Afghan, NOT 66,000 US-NATO troops dubiously backed up by the Afghan National Army = disguised local mercenaries???

#5 Europe has to decide whether they're going to fight the islamists in Europe, or in the islamists' home countries. I'd think after having their cities and towns ground in to powder twice in 40 years, they'd opt for the latter, but you never can tell with Europeons.
