Military StrongHolds

With president Obama making the decision to send 30,000 troops over into Afghanistan, just a little less than the 40,000 thousand minimum asked buy General Stanley Mcchrystal. Now the task is to be successful in an effort to help the Afghanistan government strengthen so that they may police their own country. With drug lords, warlords, and insurgents the Taliban is an extra threat to why America initiated this war on terror. In order to be successful we must examine the type of war we are fighting in Afghanistan. The enemy uses guerrilla tactics like the viet cong did in Vietnam. They have sophisticated tunnels, a network, ability to travel in disguise, they know the terrain, they are at home fighting in conditions that they are familiar with. We must draw from the US Army in the 1800 hundreds and how they defended the Fort against the Indians and how the L.A.P.D. dealt with Gang bangers in the City of Los Angeles when they began to crack down on them. Also we must take the Taliban out of their element buy making their hot environment cold, making their dry terrain wet and muddy, lowering their visibility, and ability to plant themselves in a position to aim their weapon. Smoke they ass by setting wild fires to cut off or restrict their movements. Build military strongholds or outpost that look like a natural part of the terrain. Using motions sensors, radar, and other night vision equipment to track their movements that is almost cloaked. A guerrilla fighters best weapon is the element of surprise. Another tactic would be to use the elements against them. Use water to produce rain, torrential rains. Bring in snow from Russia, lots of snow. Snowball they ass. Gopher the holes that they hold themselves out in like a Gopher hole flushing them out. Is all that illegal water boarding in Guantanamo Bay going on for nothing. Also use salt water as you use the freshwater, lots of it in the nearby oceans. Take a wild cat or wild dog that is natural to the terrain and overpopulate it and it will become an extra threat to the Taliban by looking for food applying more pressure on them making them use their weapons revealing their locations as they travel to their next target of attack.. Make they ass make some kind of noise. The strongholds will allow a network of outpost to be built and keep track of Taliban movement, taking their invisibility and surprise allowing the US Army to predict their movements and targets of attack. This will set up a method that will work successfully for the Afghan government when American troops come home. We are not actually at war but on a peace keeping and follow-up mission that has incurred more casualties and will incur the most casualties I think. When 9/11 occurred it alerted us to Osama Bin Laden whom is the new Jackal of the 21st century and we gone deal with him with some old school childhood tactics, the same stuff I used to do in my grandmothers yard in Pacoima, California in the early 80's. A message to President Obama this is the winning strategies and tactics that the Military need to take a look at as we try to bring this thing to a head and the troops home.

TECHNOLOGICAL FOOTPRINTS AND TRAPPINGS

Todays vision, who has it and are they in the right positions? Barack Obama has a visionary healthcare reform plan that was recently binded in a 1999 page plan. Like many of the great presidents before him, F.D.R., Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, J.F.K., Dwight Eisenhauer, and Harry Truman all have signature works of their presidency. For F.D.R. it was the New Deal for the American people, for Harry Truman it was the dropping/usage of the atomic bomb. As Barack Obama and many state and local leaders like him pursue a course that leaves no recognizable footprints or technological trapping they are liken unto the NBA teams of today that has so many teams stacked with talent it is something unseen and is unheard. Saturday Night Live made a parody fo the many things Obama has failed to do but there hasn't been a president in history whom has been scrutinized in such a short time like him.

In September North Georgia was swamped with flooding and after the flooding more rain. Rain and water are nature's natural cleansing agents, cleaning all of the past iniquities, dirty secrets, stuck on and stained sins, and any other residual evil that will keep Georgia impure. Vice President Joe Biden stated:

"It's not Katrina in its scope, by any

stretch of the imagination but the impact on

their lives, on your lives, we understand

it is Katrina"

After touring the devastation that washed out roads and highways the state of Georgia was reset for reconstruction bids that brought jobs to a state whose unemployment rate matches that of the national average. As the flood waters in North Georgia ran off into drainage systems into the Chattahoochee causing the river water levels to rise at certain points of the River walk here in Columbus, Georgia, damaging light post, benches, trashcans, and logs. Symbolically meaning that the run-off will come through and do damage to the economy but it is in the aftermath where we will receive more coal in our stockings. In Georgia, 62% of electricity is produced from coal overall and it takes a man of vision, a man with a successful business mind, is known throughout the state to replace Mayor Jim Wetherington, of Columbus, Georgia who won't seek re-election in 2010. We need a visionary Mayor, like J.R. Allen who died preaching consolidation, who can continue that vision, who can see that same vision for Columbus, Georgia, like Ft. Benning whom was awarded $32million for construction to build facilities to accommodate the Fort Knox Armour School. The opportunity is right as a soon to be vacant Mayor's seat comes up. You have three men who have announced their candidacy for Mayor: At-large Councilor Wayne Anthony; Councilor Skip Henderson; Mid-town Corporate Executive Teresea Tomlinson; and Spirit Filled Academy Director Zeph Baker.

Will Obama be the Poor man's friend? Has he remembered the forgotten man? Have white people rallied against his visionary health care? Is Obama's health care his new deal? If so, what will be his atomic bomb? Georgia, being the proverbial gateway to Corporate America and a traditionally Red state politically, economically, environmentally, demographically, and culturally and with California on the cutting edge of the American future then maybe Georgia should look to California for awhile and go as green as possible in all those same aspects.
