Latest intelligence on the world situation, updates on US military capabilities, news that affects Military retirees, and news that will probably never be reported by the "Liberal American Media!"


Military Newsletter
 
Latest intelligence on the world situation, updates on US military capabilities, news that affects Military retirees, 
and news that will probably never be reported by the "Liberal American Media!"
 
Edited by Lt Col Kent Vasby, USAF, Ret
 
 
 
 
Syria crisis: Where do the major countries stand?
 
Attention has been galvanised by the refugee crisis in Europe, continuing alarm over Islamic State, and Russias deployment of combat aircraft to Syria and its seizure of the initiative to take advantage of US and western disarray. 
 
The US, UK and others have subtly shifted positions or sent out mixed messages. Iran and Saudi Arabia, like Russia, are holding firm. 
 
It remains hard to see a route out of the bloodshed and deadlock.
 
See where the countries stand at:
 
 
 
 
 
 
Why Are Egyptian And Chinese Military Delegations Arriving In Russia Now?
 
According to the head of the Russian Defense Ministrys press service, Military delegations from China and Egypt have arrived in Russia to discuss planned exercises.
 
China & Egypt?  Is something afoot?
 
 
 
 
 
U.S. troops dispatched to Kunduz to help Afghan forces
 
The U.S-led coalition has dispatched American troops to Kunduz, a coalition spokesman said Wednesday, to help Afghan forces combat Taliban militants who seized the city in a lightning strike earlier this week, dealing a major blow to Afghanistan's Western-backed government. 
 
 
We still have troops in Afghanistan?
 
 
 
 
 
US, Russia To Deconflict in Syria
 
US Defense Secretary Ash Carter has ordered his staff to begin communications with Russia to deconflict air operations in Syria. 
 
 

Here's how they propose to deconflict!
 
 
Russia issues demand to U.S.: Get your planes out of Syria
 
Russian diplomats sent an official demarche ordering U.S. planes out of Syria, adding that Russian fighter jets were now flying over Syrian territory. U.S. military sources told Fox News that U.S. planes would not comply with the Russian demand.
 
 
 
 
 
Pentagon's top Russia official resigns
 
The Pentagon's top official overseeing military relations with Russia and Ukraine is resigning amid the ongoing debate within the Obama administration over how to respond to Russian moves in Ukraine and Syria. 
 
 
 
 
 
'RPG magnet': US gives Kurdish allies vehicles with no side armor
 
Dozens of MRAPs provided by the U.S. government to its Kurdish allies in Iraq have arrived without protective side armor, Fox News has learned, 
 
 
with one security contractor who works with the Kurds saying the missing armor makes riding in them tantamount to "committing suicide."  
 
 
 
 
 
Obamas Surreal U.N. Speech
National Review Online, by Elliott Abrams - Thanks, Dave
 
Obamas U.N. speech is filled with nice lines that unfortunately bear no relationship to his seven years of foreign policy and in some cases, no relationship to reality. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 John Kerry Rushes In Where Obama Will Not Tread
 
The idea that solving the crisis in Syria, or any diplomatic dilemma, may be elusive, perhaps even impossible, is no deterrent to Secretary of State John Kerry.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian President, Promises 'Bombshell' in His U.N. Speech
 
Bombshell or Gimmick?
 
Analysts on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict say they arent expecting much more than political theater.
 
Nor do they believe Abbas' speech will have much impact at a time when the Middle East peace process is far down the international community's agenda.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Pentagon Blocks JSTARS Move To Demo Phase
Thanks, Col Dick
 
The Pentagon has denied the Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System recapitalization program approval to move into the next phase of the acquisition cycle, another setback for a long-delayed effort to replace the Air Force's ground surveillance fleet. 
 
 
 
 
 
Don't blame me!
 
Pentagon Scrambling to Know What U.S. Secrets Iraq Tells Russia
 
The Defense Department's second-in-command told the Senate on Tuesday the agreement came as a surprise to military intelligence and Pentagon teams are scrambling to make sure classified intelligence from the U.S. does not make its way into the hands of Russian, Syrian or Iranian authorities. 
 
 
 
 
 
Scratch a couple more!
 
 
Navy fires ROTC CO, XO at University of Oklahoma
 
Possible misuse of government funds and allegedly not following Navy and university procedures have cost two ROTC leaders their jobs.
 
 
 

 
Sailor sets world record for most pullups in 24 hours
 
Four pullups a minute. Most sailors could do that for a few minutes before getting tired. But Air Traffic Controller 2nd Class (AW) Mike McCastle did that for for 24 hours.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
Retirement overhaul agreed to: Bigger matches, lump-sum payouts
 
Congressional negotiators finalizing plans for an historic overhaul of the military retirement system left in a controversial lump-sum payout for troops who have served 20 years that outside advocates have blasted as a bad deal for military families. 
 
 
 

Illinois lets veterans starve?
 
 
The Illinois Department of Veterans' Affairs said some food vendors for the agency's veterans homes may have to suspend deliveries because of the state's ongoing budget problems. 
 
 
 

Teeter-totters, 10 ft slides, jungle gyms and now...........
 
School District Bans 'Dangerous' Game of Tag
 
 
Michelle Obama says Lets Move! But thats hard to do when schools restrict age-old childrens activities, ostensibly to ensure the physical and emotional safety of all students. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Affordable Housing Fraud
Creators Syndicate, by Thomas Sowell - Thanks, Dave
 
Liberals never understand that housing becomes unaffordable when government restricts supply.
 
Or?  Maybe they do understand and just want to keep the minorities out?
 
A recent survey showed that the average monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Frisco was just over $3,500. Some people are paying $1,800 a month just to rent bunk beds. 
 
Housing prices in San Francisco, and in many other communities for miles around, were once no higher than in the rest of the United States. But, beginning in the 1970s, housing prices in these communities skyrocketed to three or four times the national average. 
 
Why? Because local government laws and policies severely restricted, or banned outright, the building of anything on vast areas of land. This is called preserving open space, and open space has become almost a cult obsession among self-righteous environmental activists, many of whom are sufficiently affluent that they dont have to worry about housing prices.
 
 
 
 
Flat Tire
Thanks, George
 
Yesterday, I had a flat tire on Trans Canada Highway.  So I eased my car over to the shoulder of the road, carefully got out of the car and opened the trunk. 
 
I took out 2 cardboard men, unfolded them and stood them at the rear of my car facing oncoming traffic. 
  
They looked so life like you wouldn't believe it!  They were in trench coats exposing their nude bodies to the approaching drivers. 
  
To my surprise, cars started slowing down looking at my lifelike men which made it safer for me to work at the side of the road.  And of course, traffic started backing up.   Everybody was tooting their horns and waving like crazy. 
  
It wasn't long before a police officer pulled up behind me.  He got out of his car and started walking toward me.  I could tell he was not a happy camper! 
  
What's going on here? 
  
My car has a flat tire, I said calmly. 
  
Well, he asked, what are those obscene cardboard men doing here by the road? 
  
I couldn't believe that he didn't know - so I told him, Hellooo!  Those are my emergency flashers! 
 

=======================
 
CURTAIN RODS
Thanks, Marty
 
On the first day, he sadly packed his belongings into boxes, crates and suitcases.   
 
On the second day, he had the movers come and collect his things.   
 
On the third day, he sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining-room table, by candle-light; he put on some soft background music, and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of spring-water.  
 
When he'd finished, he went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimps dipped in caviar into the hollow center of the curtain rods.   
 
He then cleaned up the kitchen and left.   
 
On the fourth day, the wife came back with her new boyfriend, and at first all was bliss.
 
Then, slowly, the house began to smell. 
 
They tried everything; cleaning, mopping, and airing-out the place.   
 
Vents were checked for dead rodents, and carpets were steam cleaned.   
 
Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during which time the two had to move out for a few days, and in the end they even paid to replace the expensive wool carpeting. Nothing worked!  People stopped coming over to visit.
 
Repairmen refused to work in the house.  The maid quit.   
 
Finally, they couldn't take the stench any longer, and decided they had to move, but a month later - even though they'd cut their price in half - they couldn't find a buyer for such a stinky house.   
 
Word got out, and eventually even the local realtors refused to return their calls.   
 
Finally, unable to wait any longer for a purchaser, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place.   
 
Then the EX called the woman and asked how things were going. She told him the saga of the rotting house. He listened politely and said he missed his old home terribly and would be willing to reduce his divorce settlement in exchange for having the house.   
 
Knowing he could have no idea how bad the smell really was, she agreed on a price only 1/10 nth of what the house had been worth... but only if he would sign the papers that very day.   
 
He agreed, and within two hours her lawyers delivered the completed paperwork.   
 
A week later the woman and her boyfriend stood smiling as they watched the men from the moving company pack everything to take to their new home…   
 
and to spite the ex-husband, they even took the curtain rods!   
 
I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING, DON'T YOU
 

========================
 
Now here was a President! Wish we had him back!
Thanks, Robert

Deceit, not Justice: Palestinian Lies Peddled Again

by Denis MacEoin  •  September 30, 2015 at 5:00 am

  • Ali Kazak knows perfectly well that his narrative is deceitful in the extreme. Kazak's fantasy about a Greater Israel is false, yet he does not mention a word about the most popular slogan used by Palestinians and their supporters: "Palestine will be free From the river to the Sea." All Palestinian maps show this same thing: a Palestine stretching from the River Jordan to the Mediterranean. The slogan and the maps show one thing: no Israel. To call for the extinction of a people and country is a threat of genocide, something the Jews of all people have never called for and will never urge.

  • "The Jewish settlement is not designed to undermine the position of the Arab community; on the contrary, it will salvage it from its economic misery, lift it from its social decline, and rescue it from physical and moral degeneration. Our renaissance in Palestine will come through the country's regeneration, that is: the renaissance of its Arab inhabitants." – David Ben Gurion, 1906, later to become Prime Minister of Israel.

  • Why does Kazak not address the genuine threats of extremist Muslim sheikhs and organizations that say Islam will conquer the world, Muslims will dominate, and the earth will become a single umma[community]?

  • In 1947, the United Nations decided to partition the land. One slender part was given to the Jews, who accepted the space allotted to them without grumbling, but the Arabs rejected the arrangement, refused to establish a state of their own, and have gone on since then fighting, turning down generous peace offers, using terrorism on a vast scale, and doing all in their power to destroy Israel. That is why they do not have a state today.

  • The "occupation" of the West Bank and Gaza was not an occupation of Palestinian territory. It simply retook these two areas from the Jordanians and the Egyptians, who had been occupying them since 1948. Today, Gaza has been wholly restored to the Palestinian people. The Israeli administration of the West Bank is totally legal under international law and is endorsed by UN Resolution 242 (1967), and which makes it clear that Israel has to move out from only some of the territory, and that only once the Palestinians have agreed to secure final and secure borders for Israel and recognized the state of Israel -- something they have never done. It is also legalized under the Israel-Jordan peace treaty of 1987 and the 1993 and 1995 Oslo Accords.

Palestinian Authority leaders, official television, schools and media outlets often display maps showing Palestine stretching from the River Jordan to the Mediterranean. The maps do not show the existence of Israel.

A revelation of Palestinian diplomatic tactics came to light recently in the form of a diplomatic response to an article that opposed the formal acceptance of a Palestinian state, at least at this time.

The Abbas "Bombshell"

by Barry Shaw  •  September 30, 2015 at 4:00 am

  • If one person can stand at the UN and unilaterally declare a state, I advise the leader of the Kurds, the Catalans, the Druze and any other ethnic groups that feel entitled to have their independence to make their way to the building and do so.

  • It is, therefore, the European Union and several European governments, including France and the Netherlands, that are complicit with the Palestinian Authority (PA) in knowingly and purposefully violating their own, signed agreements. Moreover, according to the Oslo Accords, the PA was designated as an interim body, not a permanent one.

  • If one really wants to help the Palestinians, one will try to help rid them of their corrupt and repressive leaders; not reinforce them. The Palestinian people deserve better than this.

Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas addresses the United Nations General Assembly, on September 26, 2014. (Image source: UN)

The "bombshell" that Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas threatened he was going to drop on the United Nations during his speech did not materialize.

This bombshell turned out to be a planned announcement of a Palestinian state "under Israeli occupation."

If one person can stand at the podium of the UN and unilaterally declare a state, then I advise the leader of the Kurds, the Catalans, the Druze and any other ethnic groups that feel entitled to have their independence to make their way to the building and do so.

Apparently the U.S. Administration advised Abbas against the announcement, and Abbas backed down.
