    Pakistan's Khmer Rouge

    Though some may disagree, I think David Kilcullen’s approach to drone attacks at this stage is well on the right track. Don’t do it. It is though a bit of an over dramatisation to try to make suggestions of the Taliban becoming Pakistan’s Khmer Rouge. The necessary background for real...

    PURPLE PATCH: Trench-mortars —Robert Graves

    My grandfather fought in WWI. I have one of his waist belts with a lot of WWI unit hat badges he 'collected' in no-mans land. Also a few other items he collected in the same manner and same location. He was gassed but luckily survived. He never talked about his experiences in the war...

    The Best Tank in the World

    Not being a mad turret head, but would not the decision on ‘best tank’ be based more on the general AO it was designed for. Now throw in such issues as maintenance both in field and back in B Esch, reliability, gun and accuracy of sighting, armour and anti tank defences, e.g. reactive...

    Ahmadinejad wins election

    Is there any real difference between Mousavi and Ahmadinejad? Under the face value appearance of the two there is actually fundamentally little difference. The main issues are the public way they present themselves, but rhetoric aside not much change. Realise underlying all this is the...

    Reclaiming Pakistan's Frontier!

    I gather the part I have put in bold above is your commentary? Well how is the US to think about this: "Zainuddin charged that Mehsud, who is the leader of the Pakistani Taliban, had betrayed both his Muslim religion and the Mehsud tribe of his native South Waziristan , which borders...

    Pakistan Taliban leader faces threat from fellow tribesman

    Put on a back pack, tot a gun and tell them how to do it the right way .. You think its simple as the "easy button". Don’t tell me to wear a pack and carry a gun. I suspect you have not, so do it before you tell your elders who have actually done that. Second it not a gun it is a rifle so...

    Pakistan Taliban leader faces threat from fellow tribesman

    Great stuff and a simple description for Zainuddin would be: Yesterday my Enemy, today my Friend, tomorrow what? Will tomorrow be My Nemesis, or will it just be My Enemy.... This will not solve anything in the long run as Pakistan will still harbour militants fighting in Afghanistan...

    The top U.S. commander in the Middle East, General David Petraeus, warned

    Israel is capable of doing anything at present. They have West Bank and Gaza to resolve but that assumes they want to resolve that. They can get more milage out of the Iran issues before Obama does a bit of diplomacy. That scares them more.

    The top U.S. commander in the Middle East, General David Petraeus, warned
