10K+ troops in Operation Mountain Thrust

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan -- The multinational coalition's sweeping new operation against insurgents involves co-ordinating existing military forces to take on Taliban strongholds across southern Afghanistan simultaneously, a senior officer said Wednesday.

You know those military types are obsessed with all things sexual.

It's the westernmost part of the Himalayan mountain range.

Civil liberties, economic fairness, honesty, openess, international respect, etc have all been successfully targeted so far.

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

"Operation Mountain Thrust has been described by coalition commanders as their biggest offensive against the Taliban since 2001"

:wtf: Since 2001?????

Sexual suppression/oppression/dysfunction/self loathing really is the core psychological disturbance with these people. The need to invade, steal, conquer, kill while brandishing big phallic weapons and armies has been behind every twisted psycho who has opened the gates of hell down through history. Hitler, Goering, Himmler were all self loathing sexual deviants. Has anyone ever photographed Rumsfeld with his wife? Cheney has no doubt been so severely pussy whipped he needs to pillage the planet. Ditto for GHW Bush. Dubya...christ only knows what kind of twisted labyrinth of sexual dysfunction Barbara made of his peanut of a mind. If he's not at the very least bi-sexual I'll eat my front lawn. Rumsfeld is a study in creepiness, would anyone be surprised if he was ever caught on film buggering a young boy at Abu Gharaib? There's nothing more terrifying on earth than human males with fucked up sexual identities at the highest levels of power. Every slobbering freeper and bible thumping lunatic in North America has some unreconciled sexual hang-up or problem they need to take out on everyone who hasn't. That's why they love these freaks
