Afghanistan
Simple Afghan mission turns deadly for U.S. soldiers
2009-10-30
Duty. Honor. Country.
May their commander-in-chief figure it out soon.
The mission was simple. Some 20 U.S. soldiers were to patrol a riverbed in the dead of night, camp until morning, and provide backup to Afghan troops and their Canadian mentors in a clearing operation in Chahar Bagh village, an insurgent hotbed on the outskirts of Kandahar City.

Less than 12 hours later, seven of the soldiers and their Afghan interpreter would be dead, killed by a massive homemade bomb buried deep under pebbles along the dried-out riverbed.

The attack illustrates how a more aggressive U.S. military strategy of going into Taliban strongholds risks mounting casualties as President Barack Obama weighs whether to send thousands more troops to Afghanistan. The initial operation this week passed without incident. Around 200 Afghan soldiers and their Canadian trainers pushed through the village of mud houses surrounded by lush pomegranate orchards. A handful of men were arrested for later questioning.

#14  Nine We Play 4 Keeps
lyrics
Now the streets I run
Is the streets I'm from
And the streets you run
Is the streets you from
And this is for the borough
Verse 1:
I roam in the jungle and
rumble with thugs and
hoods that rob for goods
Weed smokers and
murderers and relations
My daily operation
caucasions hit me wit
persuasions
Be all you can be, fuck that
Be on the block, sell rocks,
stay strapped
Ready to cock back and
blast for my respect
Never neglect and watch
out for my Tech
I got trouble, mad trouble
I drink too much, that's
when I don't give a fuck
who I buck
I get sideways and take it to
the highways
Killin' liars twistin' niggers
like pliars
Day to day strugglein'
jugglein'
Wonderin' where the next
meal comin from
Never happen, nay mean
I'm playin' for keeps that
means I'm keepin' my
cream
We play for keeps
Me and my peeps we run
these streets
We play for keeps
Don't sleep when we creep
Lose your head piece chief
Bring beef lose teeth
We play for keeps x2
Verse 2:
Brand new apparrel on my
ass on the regular
Skypager new ride
equipped wit a cellular
Big ass piece of the pie till I
die
Play for keeps no lie,
wonderin' why
Niggas aint got no
opportunity
Niggas aint got no fuckin
unity
Every man for himself and
kill a man wit the ball
Drink a little Hennesy and
go A-wall
Fuck the bullshit, glock
shots spit where I rest at
Got me asking niggers
where you buy that vest at
Leave my front door like
I'm ready for war
I'm ready to die sometimes,
I can't take it no more
My mantality is twisted
I'm forever blunted forever
wishin' to get lifted and
splifted
I love these streets
That's why a nigga like Nine
play for keeps
We play for keeps
Me and my peeps we run
these streets
We play for keeps
Don't sleep when we creep
Lose your head piece chief
Bring beef lose teeth
We play for keeps x2
Verse 3:
Dark mass forever until the
day I'm gone
I'm gonna put in on my
people
Save it for the sequel, the
root of all evil
Is fillin' up my pocket
makin' me lethal
Only the good die young so
I'm bad as fuck
Pass the buck and be shit
out of luck
Niggas know the routine,
we got it down pat
You ain't getting jack if
your pocket ain't fat
So phat out the realness,
you could feel this
Goin' insane me can't deal
wit diss
I'm under pressure
The ghetto got my mind in
a daze
Duckin' strays, knowin' that
crime pays
Always and forever picture
perfect
Not the Mona Lisa, cuttin'
up niggas like pizza
In slices devices of war
make me hardcore
Over rough beats I play for
keeps
We play for keeps
Me and my peeps we run
these streets
We play for keeps
Don't sleep when we creep
Lose your head piece chief
Bring beef lose teeth
We play for keeps x2

#11  And of course Nero used the fire as an excuse to launch a horrific campaign against Christians, whom he made a convenient scapegote for the disaster.

Then he cleared the ruins and expanded his personal palace significantly at public expense.

Just saying ....

#5  "#2 PLEASE EXPLAIN? WTF DOES Nero mean to you ???? Nero????

I Really Hope You Didn't..... BE A FU#KING MAN"

If I may;
NERO - as in Emperor who fiddled while Rome burned. Not to be confused with a misspelling of the work "Negro", which often times elicits emotional responses as seen above.

seriously trying to bridge the communication gaps - not trying to make anyone look foolish.
