China has joined the European Union in expressing a desire for Afghanistan to sign onto the Obama regime’s ‘security’ deal. Karzai continues to say he’ll leave it up to the next Afghan government, and as far as the Obama regime threatening to leave Afghanistan altogether, that’s what Karzai has been demanding for years.
One of the few sectors of Afghanistan’s economy, that’s actually booming, is the cell phone sector. About 12 million Afghans have cell phones, including 3G phones. More than $1.6-billion USD has been invested in Afghanistan’s cell phone sector.
130 militia-airmen of the Air National Guard’s 146th Airlift Wing (California) deployed to Kuwait to support ops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
60 militiamen of the Army National Guard’s Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 169th General Support Aviation Battalion (Georgia) deployed to Afghanistan.
The Michigan National Guard is pissed at the Obama regime. They were told to expect the Obama regime to steal away their Air National Guard A-10 Thunderbolt 2s.
The Iowa National Guard is pissed at the Obama regime. The Army National Guard said they could loss as many as 648 soldiers because of the Obama regime: “I’m co-chair of the governor’s advisory council to the Pentagon and Homeland Security, and the message from all the governors of both parties is, don’t cut the National Guard. We know there’s going to be reductions in the Army, there’s been a big buildup in the Army since 9-11, and now the Army is recommending major reductions in the National Guard instead of the regular Army, and we think that’s a big mistake.”-Terry Branstad, governor of Iowa
The Tennessee National Guard is pissed at the Obama regime. The 1-230th Air Cavalry Unit, now in Afghanistan, will lose their Kiowa Warrior helicopters when they return. Major General Max Haston spoke out: “We’ve already taken significant reductions in the Air National Guard to the tune of about 200-250 people and now we’re getting ready to look at what’s going to happen to the Army National Guard. If the worst case in the Budget Control Act takes place, the state of Tennessee could lose anywhere from 8-12% of its national guardsmen. That concerns me for the security of this nation….”
The South Carolina National Guard is pissed at the Obama regime. Governor Nikki Haley, whose husband spent almost a year in Afghanistan with the National Guard, basically called Obama a traitor: “I want to speak as a military wife. Look at what you’re telling all of these soldiers across the country that they left their businesses, they left their families to go serve their country. … You’re going to hollow out the National Guard? It is really a slap in the face to anyone who in the past decade has served multiple times and left their life to do this. … The active military hasn’t felt the pain the National Guard has felt. This is not how you show your thanks. Let’s be very clear there are a lot of places you can cut in Washington. The National Guard is not one of those that has to be on the priority list.”
“It is greatly disappointing that even after more than a decade of overseas deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Pentagon refuses to recognize the versatility and effectiveness of the National Guard. The men and women of the National Guard have proven again and again, beyond any question, that they can do any job they are assigned, at high-levels of performance indistinguishable from their active component counterparts. Fifty-seven senators joined me recently in pointing out to Secretary Hagel that a National Guard reduced to 315,000 threatens the Guard’s ability to function as a cost-effective, dual-use force for missions at home and abroad, and would dangerously reduce our nation’s strategic depth. As co-chair of the Senate National Guard Caucus and as one who has closely watched the phenomenal work of the Guard in Vermont and other states, I believe the Senate should not and cannot support a long-term plan that guts our citizen-soldier force.”-Senator Patrick Leahy, Co-Chair, Senate National Guard Caucus
As the the Obama regime’s new interim prime minister of the failed state of Ukraine angrily said to a British empire BBC reporter “….this is the government of political suiciders! So welcome to hell!”-Arseniy Yatsenyuk
