Law Enforcement: DEA Announces Largest Single U.S. Strike Against Mexican Drug Cartels

   Awesome.  That is all I have to say.  Clean up this infestation of criminal enterprise, and do it with style I say.  I hope to watch this operation on Discovery Channel in the near future, and maybe someone at the DEA will sell t-shirts? lol  Anything to support the destruction of these cartels, is […]

Iraq: Twin Suicide Car Bombs in Baghdad Kill Over 130


Industry Talk: IPOA 2009 Annual Summit–’Afghanistan, Supporting Regional Stability Operations’

   This would be a good one to attend.  Dr. David Kilcullen, Dr. Kimberly Kagan and General Anthony Zinni (ret.) are just a few of the speakers at this event.  I also thought the topics of this summit were pretty telling. “Succeeding in Afghanistan, Capacity Building & Development, Regulation & Licensing,  Counter-Narcotics in Afghanistan, U.S. […]

Somalia: Scores Killed as Somali President Leaves for Kampala

   Boy, CSS Global has their work cut out for them.  What gets me about this kind of attack, is this is Nisour Square material.  Insurgents opened up in a crowd, the ensuing firefight ends up killing innocents because they were caught in the cross fire, and no doubt, the insurgency will blame AMISOM and the government […]

Kidnap and Ransom: ‘The Snatchback’, Gus Zamora, and Rescuing Children in Foreign Lands

   What’s interesting about this story, is the method that Gus Zamora uses in order to snatch these children, to get them back to their parents.  The planning, the risk of getting arrested in another country, the emotions of the family and the amazing successes of Gus and his company are a fascinating study.  He hasn’t been […]

Africa: UN’s Congo Operation Under Scrutiny

   I posted another story below this about the UN screwing the pooch on Afghanistan as well, when they sacked Peter Galbraith for speaking truth to power about the elections there.
