The Major Flaws in Afghanistan's Intelligence War
*Javid Ahmad* *Security, Middle East* The United States needs an honest reassessment of Afghanistan’s defense capabilities as it ramps up its combat-training role. As the dust settles after the latest string of ghastly bombings in Kabul that took nearly 150 lives, including foreigners, the failure to prevent the attacks should be debated through one important prism: fixing the Afghan intelligence. By any measure, the new wave of violence across Afghanistan is a forceful response by the Taliban—and, arguably, by Pakistan—to President Donald Trump’s new Afghanistan strategy, indic... more »

Missing Dog Reunited with Family After Ten Years
A family has been reunited with its dog 10 years after the dog went missing. Debra Suierveld and her family assumed their dog Abby had died after she ran away in 2008 from their home in Apollo, but decade-old sadness turned to joy on Saturday when Suierveld received word someone had found the dog. The black Labrador mix showed up on George Speiring’s front porch in Lower Burrell, 10 miles west of Apollo. Speiring contacted Animal Protectors of Allegheny Valley, which discovered the dog’s microchip and was able to contact Suierveld. Someone had taken good care of Abby over the year... more »
"The Military Industrial Complex Strikes Again: War Spending Will Bankrupt America”
*"The Military Industrial Complex Strikes Again:* * War Spending Will Bankrupt America”* By John W. Whitehead “Why throw money at defense when everything is falling down around us? Do we need to spend more money on our military (about $600 billion this year) than the next seven countries combined? Do we need 1.4 million active military personnel and 850,000 reserves when the enemy at the moment - ISIS -numbers in the low tens of thousands? If so, it seems there's something radically wrong with our strategy. Should 55% of the federal government's discretionary spending go to the mili... more »

U.S Wants Turkey to Restrain Their Operation in Syria
*It seems odd that the US wants Turkey to restrain their ops, when the US is not restraining their ops? When the US is occupying and allying with terrorists right on Turkey’s border which is not located anywhere near the US border? Why should Turkey 'restrain' their operation? It’s obviously a border security issue for them. Tillerson will be visiting Turkey soon.

In what has to be the least shocking revelation of all, we now learn that Donald Trump deplores the #MeToo movement.
Courtesy of Axios: *Trump tells friends that he deplores the #MeToo movement and believes it unfairly exposes CEOs to lawsuits from their female employees. The fact that women frequently face sexual predation in the workplace doesn’t impact his view on this.* *This is the strongest indicator yet that Trump will reflexively defend his male allies from any and all accusations, even when he thinks those accusations are true.* Well of course Trump hates the #MeToo movement. They were formed specifically because of him, and clearly he is at the top of their list of targets. And ac... more »

Who Is The Aggressor In Syria?
It's been a couple of weeks of serious escalation in Syria. First, the US attacked and killed some 100 Syrian government-allied troops for launching an operation against a US-funded rebel force that seeks the overthrow of the Syrian government. Then some US-trained rebels shot down a Russian jet fighter. Then Israel began bombing Syria for the 100th or so time. Then Syria shocked the world and shot down an Israeli F-16. Then Israel dropped some more bombs on Syria for what it said was a violation of its sovereignty. Where does it go from here? And why are we still there? Tune in to ... more »
