Interesting, 506 drone strikes represents only 12% of all air strikes in Afghanistan in 2012.
That means we bombed the sheep herders nearly 5000 times in 2012.
We've been bombing that country for over 11 years...So, have we bombed the "enemy" nearly 50,000 times?
How much DU is laying around? If we cant beat the enemy with 50,000 bombs, let alone troops on the ground....What the hell is going on?
Could it be that we are milking this "war" for the benefit of the Military Industrial Complex?? For the Poppy Fields? For the Pipelines?
Hilarious if not for the fact that psychotic murdering, lying, profiteering war criminals run our country.
U.S. drone strikes up sharply in Afghanistan
Though drone strikes represented a fraction of all U.S. air attacks in Afghanistan last year, their use is rising as American troops have pulled back.

That means we can just open carry on our hip.
Nice
NO...Only mileage required for work, once you get there if you use your personal vehicle.
If it can be created by a POTUS, it can be dismantled by a POTUS...apparently Obomba fully approves.
Food that is regurgitated. No offense, that is a very dumb story.
I agree....Hell, cut more.
But why Obomba has to lie about it? I guess it's what he does best.
Obama's lies about the origin of the sequester
President Obama has been making a big deal about blaming Congress for the sequester, even saying at one point during his debate with Romney last year, "The sequester is not something that I've proposed," Obama said. "It is something that Congress has proposed."
"There was an insistence on the part of Republicans in Congress for there to be some automatic trigger," Lew said while campaigning in Florida. It "was very much rooted in the Republican congressional insistence that there be an automatic measure."
The president and Lew had this wrong. My extensive reporting for my book "The Price of Politics" shows that the automatic spending cuts were initiated by the White House and were the brainchild of Lew and White House congressional relations chief Rob Nabors -- probably the foremost experts on budget issues in the senior ranks of the federal government.
Obama personally approved of the plan for Lew and Nabors to propose the sequester to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). They did so at 2:30 p.m. July 27, 2011, according to interviews with two senior White House aides who were directly involved.

Bunch a lib enclaves...Interesting
The Great Lie That Will Bankrupt America
By Porter Stansberry
Wednesday, February 13, 2013
The world's markets are beginning to go haywire.
The world's money system – the scales upon which the world's market functions – is being deliberately destroyed. And so, the monetary signals that guide the markets – which are supposed to represent the supply and demand decisions of billions of people – have become distorted.
You can see the signs everywhere... You could see it in the equity markets a year ago. Never before had stocks been so tightly correlated to each other and to currencies, commodities, and bonds. Not everything should move in the same direction at once... but it did.
And you can see it now in the incredible bond bubble going on... Interest rates across all types of fixed-income products have never been so low. And junk bonds have never traded at such an average high price – a significant premium to par ($105).
And until recently... you could have seen it in the prices of gold and platinum. Over the past 25 years, gold has almost never traded for more than platinum. And yet, from September 2011 until just last month, it did. But both gold and silver have doubled against the dollar since 2008. Platinum was hard-pressed to keep up...
Any one of these examples, considered in isolation, seems harmless enough. But taken together, they clearly demonstrate that the markets are not working normally.
These weird situations in the markets are linked. They are all warning signs.
We believe the world's markets have gotten "out of whack." As a result, these aberrations will continue in size and scope until, at some point, they begin to seriously affect the world economy's ability to function.
You see, central banks are inflating the world's money supply at an unprecedented pace. Never before has the entire world's monetary system been completely untethered from both gold and real rates of interest. Monetary theorists believe these manipulations can deliver the benefits of free markets – wealth, abundance, a cornucopia of choices – without any of the costs: savings, investment, labor, and interest.
But we agree with Seth Klarman. The legendary value investor and head of the Baupost hedge fund described the situation like this in his annual letter:
The short-term palliatives we are currently pursuing go against everything a long-term-oriented society should aspire to achieve. Today's policies encourage spending over savings, reward the profligate over the prudent, and support the failing at the expense of the successful. The antidote now being dispensed puts us squarely in uncharted territory in which the risks are outside the range of historical experience...
The distortions in the markets are the result of the deliberate manipulation of currency values around the world by central bankers. The central bankers are responding to their political masters' demands for easier money and cheaper credit. There is now, around the world, a widespread belief that the symbol of wealth (paper money) alone can deliver all the benefits of the market.
This is the great lie. It is the final modern delusion.

Proof of how we are being robbed in broad daylight, our currency debased and the creeping cancer of monetary inflation destroys us...The REAL culprit...And the sheep go...BBBAAAAAAA more more! BAAAAAaaaaa. If you cant understand the below, you will never understand anything and when you go to the store and a loaf of bread is 10 bucks you will just stand there, scratching your ass....wondering what happened.
The Fed Reserve has been bending us over and invisibly raping Americans for 100 years now. We've been ROBBED 2272% since 1964, or over 37% a year since and I don't see too many actively discussing that!
Proof?
Let's say a married fellow with kids working the local gas station earned the average yearly salary of $8175 in 1964. That was $158 a week thereabouts.
If he had gone to the bank and cashed his checks in for silver coins, that is the equivalent of 16,350 silver 1964 Kennedy Half Dollars.
Adjusted for the true rate of inflation since 1964, to be on a par, his wages would have to be
$185,409.00 today... But in fact, the family household brings in 2011 was $50054, a level last seen in 1996!!! And this is for TWO working adults now.
And they want folks to anty up for taxes too! That's theft coming AND going!

Again, as usual, you need correcting. Straight from Shiff's mouth on February 21st...And yes, all folks take profits...doesnt mean anything.

Gold: Can Rally to 5000 Dollars In 2 Or 3 Years
“Can it get to $5,000 in six months? Probably not. In two to three years it’s more likely. I doubt it will take five years. If it takes that long, it will go higher.” - in MarketWatch

Video: Gold Pullback Explained
Video Summary: Reports of the death of the gold bull market have been greatly exaggerated. In the global currency war the biggest loser wins. However, the real winner will be gold. The race to debase means no fiat currency is safe. Savers are assured of being collateral damage unless they protect their purchasing power with a monetary asset central banks cannot print.

Michele Obomba....Patient dumper...Is she proud?

Who gives a crap about the sequester...It's a pimple on a deranged Aussies ass.
This country spends like a drunken bogan...

Hello, hello??? Any intelligence left out there??????
Many outrageous products in Asia and the South Pacific...
And much stupidity on the other side of the spectrum right here at home.
The suicide of Newsweek magazine
Going down with the ship. Newsweek staff continued radical far-left bias even as it was causing the magazine to die.
Newsweek magazine has lost its owners many scores of millions of dollars over the past few years. In 2010, The Washington Post Company sold it for $1 to a left-wing startup, Daily Beast, which was already losing money when they bought Newsweek.
http://www.examiner.com/article/the-suicide-of-newsweek-magazine
Then why has he kept the current rate of spending under Shrub?
He's Shrubs clone, that's why.....Tell me fuggie....
Has Gitmo closed?
Has the Patriot Act been repealed?
Did Obomba sign the NDAA in to law?
Is the TSA still operational?
Why are our emails hacked and our internet movements surveilled?
Are drone strikes still happening?
Is our southern border still wide open?
Do we still have massive unemployment?
Are our jobs still flowing overseas?
Did we invade Libya?
Are we slowly invading Africa?
Does Iran still hate us?
Does N Korea still hate ue?
Does the Middle East still hate us?
Why on earth has Obomba kept nearly every Shrub policy and expanded many of them?
Can you pull the wind up key out of your back and stop acting like a mindless, Obomba worshipping robot?
