"White House intelligence in Washington anticipated attacks over the Tet holiday to celebrate the lunar new year, but they were surprised by their intensity.
Sporadic fighting is still being reported in Saigon but the main hostilities - which began at 1800 local time two days ago - are reported to have ceased.
"In the early hours of May 10, elements of the Viet Cong 1st Regiment attacked Ngok Tavak, and they successfully overran much of the outpost. By dawn, the 11th MSF Company was devastated, but they later received reinforcements which came in the form of the 12th Mobile Strike Force Company. Despite having received assurances that further reinforcements would arrive to relieve the outpost, the commander of the 11th MSF Company decided to evacuate his troops and move towards Kham Duc. By that time, however, the Viet Cong 1st Regiment had already turned their attention to the main target at Kham Duc, and they only left behind some local force units to destroy allied reinforcements. Meanwhile, elements of the Americal Division had been airlifted into Kham Duc as part of Operation Golden Valley, to bolster the strength of the Special Forces Camp there.
On the morning of May 11, the North Vietnamese 2nd Division surrounded Kham Duc, and they gradually forced United States-led forces into their bases after several outposts were overrun. Westmoreland then ordered Kham Duc to be evacuated, so the 834th Air Division was told to make an all-out effort to extract all the people in Kham Duc, both military and civilian. By the time the evacuation was completed, nine U.S. military aircraft had been shot down, including two C-130s. On May 12, the North Vietnamese were in complete control of Kham Duc, and the battle resulted in a major defeat for the United States military."
Expect a major reversal somewhere in the afghans with fragging/mutiny.
In the next weeks.
O and a surprise visit (there can be no other kind;) by Obama into Kabul or Islamabad.
Apr 16, 1968: Johnson arrives in Honolulu Previous Day April 16 Calendar Next Day
At a series of meetings in Honolulu, President Johnson discusses recent Allied and enemy troop deployments with U.S. military leaders. He also conferred with South Korean President Park Chung Hee to reaffirm U.S. military commitments to Seoul and assure Park that his country's interests would not be compromised by any Vietnamese peace agreement.
"What we won when all of our people united just must not now be lost in suspicion, distrust, selfishness, and politics among any of our people.
Believing this as I do, I have concluded that I should not permit the Presidency to become involved in the partisan divisions that are developing in this political year.
With America's sons in the fields far away, with America's future under challenge right here at home, with our hopes and the world's hopes for peace in the balance every day, I do not believe that I should devote an hour or a day of my time to any personal partisan causes or to any duties other than the awesome duties of this office--the Presidency of your country.
Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your President.
But let men everywhere know, however, that a strong, a confident, and a vigilant America stands ready tonight to seek an honorable peace--and stands ready tonight to defend an honored cause--whatever the price, whatever the burden, whatever the sacrifice that duty may require.
Thank you for listening.
Good night and God bless all of you.
NOTE: The President spoke at 9 p.m. in his office at the White House. The address was broadcast nationally.
".... The crucial moment in this recent history of race relations, it seems to me, must be located in the events between 1966 and 1970. This was the historical moment that followed the deconstruction of legal race codes with the passage into law of the Public Accommodations Act of 1964 and then the Voting Rights Act of 1965. These two legislative milestones, promoted and signed by Lyndon Johnson, were supposed to conclude the unfinished business of the Civil War and emancipation, which had festered so long in the Jim Crow inurement. The expectation was that the removal of legal obstacles to full citizenship would hasten economic justice and cultural equality, but just then something curious happened: the youth revolt of the late 1960s was underway and young black America immediately opted for separatism."
I think this guy is US Ambassador Crocker's suck up son....I mean, this is exactly the way Crocker/Panetta/JCS Dempsey think:

" The Taliban are entering the death-spiral phase of their comeback campaign.
This can be seen by sharply reduced activity in the countryside (where the surge in NATO and Afghan troops has broken the fighting spirit of the Taliban), and the increased reliance on high-profile terror attacks. NATO casualties are down from the same period last year, although the media coverage of Taliban terror attacks might make you think otherwise. The fighting through the Winter was particularly damaging to the Taliban, and recruiting for this year's "Spring Offensive" has been difficult. It's been known for over two years that this switch in tactics was coming. It's the same pattern seen in Iraq. Moreover, many Taliban leaders are trying to negotiate some kind of deal with the government. Some of these settlements have already been made, and now the Taliban have one less ally and one more target.
The terror campaign could go on, intensely, for a year or two. But eventually, the "fighting" Taliban are going to run out of money, men and places to hide.

US Frames Losing Defensive Posture in Afghanistan as Last Push for Victory As the Taliban gears up for its spring offensive, the US's lost war will be even more starkly illustrated
Amerikans have zero idea of the monster slouching toward Bethlehem.
TURNING and turning in the widening gyre. The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart ... And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches .... William Butler Yeats
Insurgents mounted spectacular coordinated attacks over the weekend that set off an 18-hour battle with NATO forces, an emphatic indication of their annual spring offensive and a public relations embarrassment for the U.S. at what seems to be the lowest point in the war.
I would say, maybe 10% of Amerikans have a clue that this happened Sunday....maybe.
To present this springs increased violence as a last strategic push to win the war which is how its being presented is really an embarrassingly transparent attempt at war propaganda.
Israels Fear of Three Simple Words: Welcome to Palestine By Joharah Baker
The Palestinians may seem to be in a very unenviable position at present but yesterday proves that popular opinion is moving in the right direction. Let Air France, Lufthansa, Alitalia and Turkish Airways kowtow to Israel and squirm at their own lack of chutzpah. One day they too will tire of Israels dictates. In the meantime, our friends will continue to show their solidarity with us, either in Palestine, in airport terminals or their own countries, and the occupation, eventually, will fall. Of this, there is no doubt.

I think there are many people who underestimate just how much d0llar demand is created by 30-40 million hardcore opium/heroin addicts there are worldwide. Try buying your fix using something other than the d0llar for wholesale purchases and just about as difficult for retail on the street purchases. The stormtroopers are protecting a very important d0llar crop. Peace...Tet
Now for what really happened in Kabul, the afghans Sunday:
April 16, 2012
A senior Taliban commander in Kabul boasts to The Daily Beast that Sundays strikes against military and diplomatic targets in the Afghan capital and three eastern provinces were just a preview of the fighting season to come. "These are coordinated attacks that went just as we planned," says Qari Talha, "This is only the start of whats in store this year and next for the Americans and [Afghan President Hamid] Karzai. We will show them our ability."
First. It's Insane to think that at least 20 suicide people killed no one in a 24 hr gun battle. Starting at noon-2 pm, in the most crowded part of Kabul.
"According to eye witnesses multiple weapon sounds, gunfire and explosions were being heard through the night spreading fear and panic across Kabul city, while heavy fighting was still ongoing after 4:00 a.m. and patrol helicopters were hovering overhead and several ambulances were rushing to and from the fighting scene. A doctor, on the condition of anonymity said that the local hospitals were packed with the dead and wounded from the fighting."
Second. Note the comp[lete lack of detail from USSAnews....;}
And definitely No Pics...
" The group of 13 martyr attackers of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, almost all at the same time, targeted the so-called ISAF main headquarter, embassies, Parliament house, Presidential Palace, Dar-ul-Aman palace, and other important military and government buildings.
After about 24 hours of extremely lethal fighting with successful onslaughts on these targets involving martyrdom attacks, remote-controlled bomb attacks, direct shooting attacks and other hand grenades attacks killed as many as 93 enemies including US-NATO and their allied troops, local police and soldiers of puppet army, and other foreign diplomats in addition to wounding hundreds of them."
The large-scale operation which simultaneously unleashed at the four provinces of Afghanistan continuing for about 42 nonstop hours, joined by only 30 martyrdom-seeking Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate killed as many as 220 puppets, US-NATO invaders and their allies and wounded numerous of the enemy soldiers.
The funniest thing is the enemys blatant lies that brazenly denied their fatalities, as always, by throwing dust in the eyes of the people worldwide and world media, which is typical of the US-NATO invaders. So it may not come as a surprise. The American occupation enemy and its allies are the most famous for understating their fatalities and exaggerating ours, no doubt they are very good at international lies.
However, the Islamic Emirates ask the world and mainstream media to go and just check only the hospitals in these four provinces, the truth will speak for itself.
A substantial number of civilians in this war were also deliberately killed by the Axis Powers ... had been killed, and 16000 woundeda civilian-combatant fatality rate of 5:1. ... This would give a civilian-combatant fatality ratio of about 7:1. ... "even the most moral army can make mistakes, especially in dense urban warfare".

"Wikileaks recently released many classified documents that prove that NASA and high-level U.S. official are aware of the three spaceships and are making plans to battle the spaceships. They have been concealing information from the U.S. public for decades. Wikileaks also confirms that the UFO sightings over the last three months prove that the alien invasions (long predicted by SETI) has begun. The three spaceships will mark the official beginning of the alien invasion."
Could not find a good category to post this under so using the mcgowanjm "wire" seemed best:) ALIEN SPACESHIPS TO ATTACK EARTH IN NOVEMBER 2012! Posted on Tuesday, April 17th, 2012 By Frank Lake
Three giant alien spaceships are again heading for Earth! Scientists predict the new ships will arrive in November of 2012. UFO encounters continue to increase as documented on WWN. And today scientists at SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence), an independent non-commercial organization, made a major announcement:
Three giant spaceships are heading toward Earth. The largest one of them is 200 miles wide. Two others are slightly smaller. At present, the objects are just moving past Jupiter. Judging by their speed, they should be on Earth by the fall of 2012, said John Malley, the lead extraterrestrial expert at SETI.
Three similar giant ships landed in China and the Indonesia Sea in November, 2011. They were identified as alien spaceships from Planet Gootan. Three more giant Gootan ships are headed her for November, 2012.
Read two of WWNs many stories about the three Gootan ships landing in 2011:
THE STORY ABOUT THE LANDING OF THE THREE SHIPS IN NOVEMBER 2011 THE GOOTANS ARE HERE The new Gootan spaceships have been detected by HAARP search system. The system, based in Alaska, was designed to study the phenomenon of northern lights. According to SETI researchers, the objects are extraterrestrial spaceships. They will be visible in optical telescopes as soon as they reach Marss orbit sometime in November of 2012. The US government has been reportedly informed about the event.
SETI researchers have spent fifty years monitoring space. Dr. Malley said that they have conclusively proven that we are just newcomers in this huge and unexplored world. Many believe that there are many other civilizations in space besides our own civilization.
Wikileaks recently released many classified documents that prove that NASA and high-level U.S. official are aware of the three spaceships and are making plans to battle the spaceships. They have been concealing information from the U.S. public for decades. Wikileaks also confirms that the UFO sightings over the last three months prove that the alien invasions (long predicted by SETI) has begun. The three spaceships will mark the official beginning of the alien invasion.
Malley said that a Chinese official, Mao Kan, had obtained over than 1,000 secret NASA photographs depicting not only human footprints, but even a human carcass on the surface of the Moon. Some of the bones in the carcass were missing, the official said. The human corpse must have been dropped on the Moon from an alien spaceship, whereas the extraterrestrials kept some tissue samples for research.
Dr. Ken Johnston, former Manager of the Data and Photo Control Department at NASAs Lunar Receiving Laboratory, said that US astronauts had found and photographed ancient ruins of artificial origin on the Moon. US astronauts had seen large unknown mechanisms on the Moon.
Both Johnston and Mao Kan agree that three more Gootan spaceships are heading for Earth.
Beginning in August of 2012 the U.N. will begin preparing citizens of the world for the second attack of the three Gootan spaceships and a subsequent alien attack, which they predict will be a large-scale assault.

Got some killer raccoons in Florida.
KILLER RACCOONS IN FLORIDA! Posted on Tuesday, April 17th, 2012 By Frank Lake
MERRITT ISLAND, FL Wild, vicious raccoons are attacking citizens in Kiwanis Island Park.Brevard County Parks and Recreation closed Kiwanis Island Park on Merritt Island, Florida after hundreds of raccoon attack were reported over the last few weeks. Governor Rick Scott is sending in the National Guard. The raccoons are out of control. Were hoping the Guard can control them but were not taking any chances. We may have to ask the government for help from the NAVY Seals, said a Florida government insider. Brevard County Animal Services trapped two raccoons, and another trapper contracted by Parks and Recreation trapped two more raccoons at the park Sunday morning. But that didnt stop the hundreds of other raccoons that are causing mayhem. There are reportedly two casualties from raccoon deaths so far. Residents are heading out of town running for their lives.
The first attack was reported by a woman who was eating lunch under a park pavilion. She was surrounded by nine killer raccoons. Luckily she was saved by a Park Ranger. She was transported for medical treatment, but the extent of her injuries was unknown.
Just this morning, a mother and child were on the playground when the child was reportedly bitten by a wild raccoon. The police located the raccoon and after an intense fight, the raccoon was taken out.Kiwanis Island Park is located on State Road 520 on Merritt Island, Florida.

Chuckles.....
If you are not careful you too will fall into Doctor Evil's mcgowanjm kookery abyss.
(posting anything TO Brain Shit is pointless....rather posting derisively AT him makes sense)
The purpose of this thread reminds me of the old joke: how do you keep a blonde busy? Put her in a round room and tell her to sit in the corner . . .
war has to do something for entertainment; the voices in his head aren't speaking to him and his imaginary friends have found reasons not to come over anymore.
Twist one. When the Penn State pedophilia scandal emerged, it turned out that Gricar had declined to prosecute Jerry Sandusky in 1998 over very similar allegations. There are still rumors that the scandal is really about a very powerful pedophilia ring, and not just a cover-up of the actions of one bad guy.
Twist two. Deadspin.com recently made a FOIA request to the FBI regarding Gricar (my emphasis in red):
"The documents don't reveal anything about the investigation into Gricar's disappearance, likely because the investigation is ongoing, but they do contain material that will raise eyebrows under all those tinfoil hats. For one, the FBI consulted with the CIA before responding to my request. And the CIA refused to allow certain information to be released because it's classified "in the interest of national defense or foreign policy" and can't be disclosed in order to protect "intelligence sources and methods" as well as the names, titles, etc., of CIA personnel.
Meanwhile, the third class passengers are locked up in the hold. The captain has ordered then to suck the water out the ship, the tools assigned to them are soda straws stamped Made in China. The straws must be bought and paid for before use but the Chinese are willing to extend credit if good collateral is offered.
Are the lower class passengers ready to mutiny and put the officers off the ship or do they desire to take the first-class passengers place, so as to better rearrange the deck chairs? Since they are the only ones able to fix the ships problems it is really up to them to decide what to do. If they behave as the first class has done the ship will sink. If they attempt to make things right the ship might sink but they also might succeed. If they do nothing there is certain failure. Here is a dilemma that the passengers are ill-equipped to cope with. The passengers must not only act outside their narrow personal interests but also against how class interests as these are ordinarily defined as gains excluded from others. It is also outside decades of television training which demands that individuals serve the system in order to be rewarded for their efforts at some unspecified point in the future (never).
When an ocean liner starts taking on water, what governs whether its women and children first or every man for himself? According to a report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences lead author Benno Torgler, mens altruistic versus self-serving behavior depends on how quickly the ship sinks.
So. Anyone wondering why not. one. single word. is being put out about the Epic Fail 'Tet Offensive' in the Afghans?
Someone in the Pentagon is burning the mid nite oil.
You mean, what you get from the Taliban when you shift from being terrain focused to enemy focused? But you do have a good point...Tet was never intended to oust the US by force, but to create a media nightmare for US forces, thus losing American support for the war. Americans from all political walks have already indicated loudly we need to send home our Troops. And that will happen soon enough. Then we will all watch on cable how Karzi and his tribal chiefs go running to the Taliban for support, and will watch the smuggled videos months later of Karzi and his gang getting their throats slit.
Afghanistan is no Iraq.

Thursday, 27 Jamadil Awal 1433 Thursday, 19 April 2012 11:46 LOGAR, Apr. 19 Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate confronted the invaders military-secured supply convoy of some 5 supply tucks and fuel tankers in the capital of Logar province on Wednesday. A Mujahideens official said on Tuesday that 6 security guards were killed and 7 more got wounded with five the enemy vehicles destroyed including 4 oil tankers and 3 trucks filled with supplies of US-NATO invaders, adding that two Mujahideen became martyrs.
As the USSA....wait for it....announces it's Last Offensive... to retake Kabul.....LMFAO....8D
