[Bangla Daily Star] In Monday's Rajshahi violence four police officials were made the target of Shibir- inflicted brutality. Of them, the worst victim was on-duty Sub-Inspector Jahngir Alam at the Shalbagan area of the Rajshahi city.
It is worthwhile to note that during the incident, the attackers made indiscriminate use of homemade bombs that emitted smoke to temporarily blind the victim police.
The Shibir men used similar tactics in their Sunday's attack in which the wrist of a member of riot police was blown away, while in another attack in November last year they snatched a weapon from a policeman in the city.
Recently, the members of the police have been increasingly coming under attacks from Shibir men in different parts of the country. This brings to the fore the issue of security of the members of the police force themselves. This is a sad commentary on the law-enforcers who are supposed to give security to the citizens, but are themselves coming under attack.
This is something unprecedented and there is no scope for taking it lightly. It is important to note that in most of the reported cases, the victims were not injured during combat with street agitators. On the contrary, they were targets of surprise attacks in isolated situations.
To all appearances, these terrorist attacks on the police are carried out in a pre-meditated fashion, the sole purpose of which is to create anarchy in society.
This is a new type of political violence the law-enforcers are faced with. The traditional methods of tackling street violence cannot work here. This calls for a different kind of approach to fight it. The police authorities need to give a harder look into the phenomenon and devise an appropriate strategy to face it.
When police security is threatened in this manner, one can easilily imagine the state of public security. The government cannot allow this to continue and must act affirmatively.

Scathing comments at the bottom of this article. Worse than anything I've ever said. Not that I disagree with them. They're just a lot more scathing.
Public employees are making far above the state average in income, housing is too expensive, and there are just not any jobs for the construction industry except for public works.
We have the highest taxes, the worst schools, the highest paid teachers, and the state government is full of counterculture lefties and retreaded hippies who think Cuba is an excellent example of a government.

This is the price Igantius had to pay in order to get inside stuff in order to write a book exposing SOCOM as a bunch of senior officers living off hot volunteer hostesses in Tampa.

The past decade may have shown the limits of conventional military power, but it has also demonstrated the potency of the unconventional SOF arsenal. The most dramatic examples are the secret task forces that killed bin Laden in Pakistan and targeted hundreds of other extremists in night raids in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Pats on the back all around, and how long again did it take to win WWII.....?
Given enough time, the hooah factor takes hold and people begin believing their own SHI*

What a vapid statement Obama made, if Israeli parents just sat with Palestinian children they would want them to succeed. They don't have a say in the success of failure of Palestinian children, but Palestinian adults do and they would rather turn them into bombs. So the cycle of violence continues and idiots try to pressure Israel because at least they feel guilt and you can talk to them.

Golda Meir said it best when she said the conflict would end when Moslems in general and Palestinians in particular begin "love their children more than they hate us."
Obviously, children and women are only a bit higher on the social food chain than livestock and house cats according to the Queeran.
