The death of innocent (i believe are a concern for all) The Chinese have a vested interest in the Sudan as the south has the oil and the north has the refining process and port facilities. Saying that the Chinese is the nut in the wrench simply means that they have a vested interest in the...

Maybe I am simplifing the issue Atrocities were committed on each side... as it takes to to dance. That being said Bashir (Sudan president) is an ICC war criminal... The pics of the Grizzly are cool and showcase the need for the Gila which i am glad they purchased for use in the Sudan...

For me I see the equipment issues and the soldiers themselves could easily transferred to a perceived or actual conflict in Africa. The instructors will probably be using light armoured vehicles (like the Gwagen) in their new role after 2011. I wish the Sudanese (Southern) would begin using...

I watched a report from Pakistan that the locals are perceiving that the Pak army is the fighting arm of the US forces. 500 bomb attacks in last year and even today a governor was killed. The Pashtuns who have always felt left outside the Army and specifically the officer cadre. We must talk...

Some articles that are old or ones that are new (in the case of British forces killed by sniper team this summer ,2010) is still valid. is the fact that the ISI is one of the main problems because of their work 20 years ago with al Qeada and against the Northern Alliance. Im not giving a...

My point is to simply say that trends in fighting can come from many sources..... The fact that we haven't seen as much foreign fighters as we have expected (non Pahstuns if you will) may be the tip of the iceberg or simply an ice cube. As to Int sums... I don't hold them much credit.... they...

The TAPI pipeline is a concern as it would be a juicy target for the Taliban to hit against the Kabul government. Just because the history of the oil pipeline is long and convoluted... does not mean that the government of Afghan should not support the building of it if it can provide security...

The bomb in Kamloops may have been part of some seismic gear.... The reaction of the RCMP and the local police is proof that there is concern on our side of the border about Mexican drug cartels coming up north. As for the sudan I agree that Chinese support is neccessary. They are the ones who...

If you want the easy answer Sudan pays as they sit on 1.3 trillion in oil reserves.... It can be done if there is political will.

Some of my experience may be dated but when compared to the Brit soldiers killed by a foreign fighter sniper team in helemand province this summer... there can be correlations. "Four foreign snipers hired by the Taliban, thought to be responsible for the deaths of ten British soldiers, have...

I think the military with Musharraf  will return and attempt to be the strong man. America will accept it again due to fears for the security of the nuclear and missile forces Article on people asking for his return to politics...

You talk of the problem with the Mexico drug cartels... Thats is an issue but I think a greater issues and something that is more important to Canadians is the drug cartels coming to the north. "CBC- Kamloops  "Dozens of homes and businesses in Kamloops, B.C., have been evacuated as police...

1.  Congo and Ivory Coast are not worse or better they are what a modern Africa still is... primitive. But the Congo and the Ivory Coast don't have the oil reserves a ICC indicted war criminal in the north... Chinese exploration companies chomping on the bit. 2. I have never said intervene I...

I think these are the kind of first moves in the nation of Pakistan falling into seperate tribal areas.... Its only a matter of time.

I am just proposing a question... what do you do when the vultures wait. Bashir is a vulture, China is as well.... Sure the borders are pourous but a Kenya in disarry a Rwanda that falls back into anarchy all effects us. The equipment needs to be manned by good quality troops and I know that...

I think since we already have such a large contingent of equipment... although few boots on the ground. The mandate of the mission in Sudan is supposed to be over in 2012 as they discuss the outcome of the referendum. I suggest that this mission may be the right one due to the large oil...

Tactics in COIN FMI 3- 24.2 (2009) http://www.fas.org/irp/doddir/army/fmi3-24-2.pdf For the Che quote: Message to the Tricontinental (1967) http://www.marxists.org/archive/guevara/1967/04/16.htm The idea was to simply make a comment that sometimes counter insurgency can be an easy thing...

The idea of posting this from my blog was to simply make a statement. For any personal reasons... yes I have seen Checnyan and Foriegn fighters in the kandahar region. They were not part of a kill teams that have been reported but were simply walking down the street... pictures were taken as...

good job dudes....

It was just trying to say that many times we look too hard at an issue and do not realize that many times we have fought many of these same battles before. The surge in iraq was a success and I see similar results in Afghan although it is still early.
