“Looks like Amazon is doing the same.”
And the sad thing is that the end result is better than the pentagon could have imagined. No one is going to read any of it. Although I understand the frustration of it being censored...This is still a win strategy for the power to be.
I’d bet the release of this book will be fought in every manner possible by the Leftists/Democrats all the way through election 2012.
They ARE going to run Hillary for President. Obomba has bombed.
Thanx

On Friday, August 13, 2010, just as St. Martin’s Press was readying its initial shipment of Operation Dark Heart, the Department of Defense expressed concern that its publication could cause damage to U.S. national security. The publication of the initial edition was canceled. However, after consulting with the author, Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer, St. Martin’s Press agreed to incorporate some of the government’s changes, which includes redacting classified text, into a revised edition, which is releasing on September 24.
Product Description
Lieutenant Colonel Anthony Shaffer had run intelligence operations for years before he arrived in Afghanistan. He was part of the “dark side of the force”-—the shadowy elements of the U.S. government that function outside the bounds of the normal system. His group called themselves the Jedi Knights and pledged to use the dark arts of espionage to protect the country from its enemies.
Shaffer’s mission to Afghanistan, however, was unlike any he had ever experienced before.
There, he led a black-ops team on the forefront of the military efforts to block the Taliban’s resurgence. They not only planned complex intelligence operations to beat back the insurgents, but also played a key role in executing those operations-—outside the wire. They succeeded in striking at the core of the Taliban and their safe havens across the border in Pakistan. For a moment Shaffer saw us winning the war.
Then the military brass got involved. The policies that top officials relied on were hopelessly flawed. Shaffer and his team were forced to sit and watch as the insurgency grew-—just across the border in Pakistan.
This wasn’t the first time he had seen bureaucracy stand in the way of national security. He had participated in Able Danger, the aborted intelligence operation that identified many of the future 9/11 terrorists but failed to pursue them. His attempt to reveal the truth to the 9/11 Commission would not go over well with his higher-ups.
Operation Dark Heart tells the story of what really went on—and what went wrong—in Afghanistan. Shaffer witnessed firsthand the tipping point, when what seemed like certain victory turned into failure. Now, in this book, he maps out a way that could put us on the path to winning the war.
“Anthony Shaffer has written a gripping account, filled with amazing detail, of an otherwise secret world. Shaffer has the instincts of a thriller writer and the knowledge and perspective of the professional insider. Operation Dark Heart is a fascinating page-turner.”
— Doug Stanton, author of Horse Soldiers
Obama is setting us up for the next attack in the same way Clinton did. This is nuts.
Interesting as I was just thinking tonight ..when did all our borders get so porus and who gave the invitation in...when did the infiltration into our government get heavily filled with undesirables, when did we start honoring muslims and giving away our greatest technology. When did the grand exodus of our manufactuing happen the most.... I thought about that while enjoying the pre-fall evening.
It didn’t take long to see Clintons name all over it all! Now that’s not to say there wasn’t inroads layed along the way by others, but it was controlled and or fought back...so when did we stop fighting? The Clinton years again seemed to surface.
Then I pictured him today...cruising around with comments here and there, with his snarky grin....moving vastly over the international scene himself and via his wife.....whose he influncing...whose he speaking for and too...how much of what we see is he responsible for behind the scenes.
Well...I figured and came up with the guy did us in from the get go... Obam is just finishing what Clinton started.
“If the confiscate it, and he won’t be able to sell it in the US, he can always go publish it in Europe”
I suppose, if wants to risk going to prison
I've also got fifty bucks in the dark says that Bill Clinton was the man behind the curtain during the "Katrina" mess that wrecked George W. Bush's second term.
Gov. Blanco of Louisiana was the key player. She kept FEMA out of Louisiana for an eternity while her citizens were writhing in a watery hell, while her political patroness, Sen. Mary Landrieu, warned her not to let "the Bush people" in, lest they blame her for everything (the fact, for instance, that Louisiana's major-disaster recovery plan was mostly just a paper outline and had never been exercised by her emergency-preparedness and civil-defense people, who were mostly party-hardy political sinecures and good-time Charlies who knew squat about anything, including their responsibilities). And who was giving Sen. Landrieu, whose political creature ascended-PTA-chairwoman Blanco always was, all this good advice? James Carville. Carville was whispering stage directions in Mary Landrieu's ear ...... and who was talking to Carville? Two guesses. No, one guess.
And who do you suppose thought that he could, without exposing his hand, grease the way into the White House for Her Thighness, making Slick and Beast the first husband-and-wife presidential tag team in history?
But wait, I've got another.
After his "empouchment" by the brave and honest House managers, led by old Henry Hyde and Bill McCollum, Slick needed to wash the stain off. He was, everyone knew, an unindicted felon who would remain unindicted only because a) Charlie Trie had successfully fled back to China, taking his case-officer files with him, b) Richard Ben-Veniste and the other bitter, case-hardened criminals on Team Clinton had broken the Chinagate investigation run by Fred Thompson, and c)Clinton had successfully crawled the legs of 95% of the black voters in the United States with his "Bubba" shtick as "first black President of the United States", indemnifying him against conviction by the corrupt and racist voter/jurors of the District of Columbia.
But his ego needs more. His ego needs a historic, world-transformational legacy that will elevate him above his little rapes, treasons, and semen-stained perjuries, and simultaneously pull up the ladder behind him and Hillary by debasing forever the office of President of the United States.
His plan to get it: Get Hillary elected President, get himself elected General Secretary of the United Nations, sign a treaty with her turning over U.S. sovereignty, the U.S. arsenal, and the U.S. armed forces to the U.N., and proclaim himself President for Life and first President/Emperor of the World. A sort of Palpatine I scenario, if you will.
Some friends of mine who'd read the Left Behind stories promptly told me "you've just described the coming of the Antichrist." But all I did was map Clinton's likely power trajectory if his plans all work, knowing his motives and how he covets "firstness" in everything. It's not rocket science: if anything, it requires one to be at least a little corrupt oneself, but given that, human egotism and frailty aren't hard to map.
Now, what do you think about that?
Right now, we’ve got someone else in the drivers seat to be the world emperor, and it ain’t Slivk Willie.
Guess who??
You’re so right-on! The moment I saw the article I went to Amazon!
Ha ha!
