11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.
           \_ You voted for the billionaire that ran HP into the ground

4/5     "Lawmakers: Afghan leader threatens to join Taliban"
        http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100405/ap_on_re_as/as_afghanistan
        Hmmm, first we proped up bin Laden to fight against the Soviets, and
        he joined the Al Qaida to go against us.  Next we proped up Karzai to
        fight the Al Qaida, and he's joining the Taliban to go against us.
        When will we stop propping up our own enemies?

12/11   Congress makes me sick. They forked over $700B to the banks with
    less hand-wringing. $15B is chump change. Just do it. They don't
    deserve it, but neither did the banks.
        \_ The $700B was a loan.
           \_ and we're gonna get every penny back, with interest!  or how
              about this:  it would have been much worse if we hadn't loaned

8/11    Anyone have thoughts about what the US should do about Georgia?
        \_ Annex it as Georgia II.
        \_ Not much I'm afraid.  Especially since Georgia seems to have
           started it.  Russia was fomenting the battle, but when Russia
           is itching to attack you, don't give it an excuse!
           \_ Russia moved troops into Georgia, not the other way around.

Printable version 'Many die' in new Afghan fighting US soldier in Afghanistan Nato forces are battling Taleban fighters regularly in Helmand At least 19 suspected Taleban militants have been killed in clashes in southern Afghanistan, officials say. A Helmand province government spokesman said Taleban fighters attacked the village of Nawzad, targeting a garrison of Afghan and coalition troops. Shopkeepers were surrounded and ordered to leave the centre of the village before the attack began, reports said. Coalition forces launched air strikes, with reports saying 12 Taleban died in a car, with others killed elsewhere. Long battle The fighting, which lasted several hours, broke out on Wednesday morning, US military officials said. Quick guide: Afghanistan "The Taleban surrounded this area, including a nearby bazaar, and told all their shopkeepers to leave before attacking the compound with small-arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades," Afghan spokesman Ghulam Muhiddin told the Associated Press news agency. Seven attackers were killed and two injured in the initial fighting, with another 12 killed when coalition forces bombed a Taleban vehicle trying to leave the area, the officials said. Violence in southern Afghanistan has risen sharply this year, the bloodiest since the Taleban were overthrown in 2001. Coalition losses have been mounting, despite regular strikes against suspected militants. More than 3,000 UK troops have been sent to Helmand since early May as part of a Nato operation to battle Taleban rebels and limit drug trafficking.
