"... the [ DEBKA ] site has received praise from several media orgnisations" Note well the author does not NAME those praising the site. Veteran FReepers don't even bother with DEBKA, except for entertainment value.

Should we write the editor and let them know?

humorous sentence structure as well:

" ...hiking up to 80km each day with heavy packs, and laser-guiding bombs..."

Those guys are real men.

Considering that New Zealand is getting rid of it's air force and navy, it is nice to see that they have the ability to train such an elite unit of 25 men.

Debka editor-in-chief Giora Shamis said US forces had been troubled by security leaks among their Afghan allies, and tried to solve the problem by using New Zealand, Australian and Norwegian special forces in key roles.

Don't you just love those Afghan allies? With them and a nickle, you'd have 4 cents. Best to get out as soon as possible and let those treacherous tribes continue to sell each other out, minus the Taliban government.

Shag....

Those tea swilling Brits are sending 1700 more fierce (hehe) fighters to Afghan this week. Well, what more are you down underers going to contribute? Does the blood really all congeal in your heads from walking upside down all the time????

,,, we'll contribute the tea. As for walking upside down, where do you think my logic comes from? Stand tall Cynicom, it could be choppy waters ahead. I'll read about it each day as it happens, just like you do.

Considering you will need our ability to fly, float, have a tank, an artillery piece, resupply, drop a bomb, and about anything else since your nation is no longer capable of defending itself, on behalf of the president, sure.

,,, oh, goodee! That's reassuring. As a sweetener, we'll throw in some free tariff etiquette consultancy. Do you feel a win/win coming on?

So your panties are in a wad. How uncomfortable, of course it sounds as if you are used to it.
