It’s a War Zone…

In Afghanistan over 10,000 people died in violent attacks in 2010.
The Daily Times reported:
KABUL: More than 10,000 people, about a fifth of them civilians, lost their lives in violence in Afghanistan last year, an AFP count, based on official figures and an independent website tally showed on Sunday.
While Afghanistan’s Interior Ministry spokesman Zemarai Bashary revealed new figures for the number of civilians, police and militants killed in 2010 — a total of 8,560 people. In addition, the Afghan Defence Ministry said that 810 Afghan soldiers died in 2010, while independent website icasualties.org put the total death toll for international troops last year at 711.
That brought the overall number of dead from the war last year to 10,081, according to an AFP calculation. While, last year was the deadliest yet in Afghanistan’s nine-year war for international troops, according to the icasualties tally.
Meanwhile, in Mexico over 13,000 were killed in violent attacks in 2010.
The Dallas News reported:
Mexico’s drug violence in 2010 was striking not only for its scale but also for its brutality.
In the northern city of Santiago, the mayor’s body was found with the eyes gouged out. In the picturesque town of Cuernavaca, four decapitated men were hanged from a bridge along a heavily traveled highway. And in Ciudad Juárez this week, two university students were hunted through a maze of streets and killed with bullets to the head, their bodies set on fire.
In 2010, the levels of Mexican violence and the kind of extreme cruelty once reserved for Quentin Tarantino movies reached new heights, not just along the Texas-Mexico border, but in regions that were once spared such bloodshed. More than 13,000 people were killed across the country in drug violence, up from an estimated 9,600 a year earlier.
More… In 2010 over 100 police officers were murdered in the Mexican town of Juarez alone, where the drug-related death toll exceeded 3,100 during that same 12-month span.

If you noticed Mexico’s drug violence matches the violence from Muslim countries because the Muslim have infiltrated into the drug cartels and are trying to take over in Mexico.. They learn how to act and speak like Mexicans in Spain then either come over here with new identities or reek hell in Mexico.

Janet Napolitano should be able to help the Afghanistan death toll (up).
Obama knows how to protect “his” American troops.

That was a great article.. I plan on passing it on to our local sheriff and schools we live in a very rural area and the closest large town’s are 76 miles away .. those towns now has an over abundance of Muslims who wear the Burkas and our trying to turn a town of 5000 into little Islam. I can see them taking over the schools in those cities, thanks to Claire McClasskill. she has invited way to many illegal Muslim into these tiny towns and they are reeking havoc.. Thank you again. I will pass this on to all..

We hear of bodies being found beheaded HMMMM wonder who does that? This administration has closed it’s eyes and ears to the war going on in Mexico, and for what reason. How many mid eastern illegals would you guess we have caught sneaking over the boarder. It’s in the hundreds. I don’t scare easily, but this inaction is becoming worry some to say the least. Big Sis was the biggest problem on this as Gov. now she is making the whole country suffer.
thirsty commented:
Those are surprising statistics. Most of the death and violence just seems senseless, though. If the government’s primary intentions were to protect US interests against Islamo-fascists or drug violence it probably would have been over or greatly minimized long ago and innocent lives would have been spared. The government doesn’t represent national interests anymore. It represents an international aristocracy through a military-intelligence complex that produces huge profits for private entities and plays politics at the expense of American lives, innocent victims, and taxpayer resources. Eventually it will probably cost us our national sovereignty. Even worse, as individuals we have relinquished moral authority to a government that doesn’t represent us and lacks a moral conscience.

A sign of the times. Coming to cities and towns near you.

Another big thank you .. I have a five year old who is set to start school next fall. If the private school in this small town can’t deliver on the education I want for him then I will be home schooling. this just solidifies my need to keep him closer to home and not out where the Muslim Terrorist can hurt him..
My elder son went to all private schools Christian till High School then he was home schooled and loved it. Now in college and a great big Conservative and trying to convince others to become conservatives as well.
Again this will be passed on to all that need to know in my town and the surrounding towns.
My Brother is a sheriff deputy so I have an in with the Sheriff and I hope with your information we can keep anything like a Terrorist take over from happening.
Everyone should read these post. they are very important and can help keep our children and teachers save… It’s so scary what Muslims have planed for Americans.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Tell me again, how many U.S. troops are on the Mexican border? How many in the Middle East? How many in South Korea and Japan? And Eric Holder sues AZ for doing something he refuses to do? Let’s put some Air Cav on that border locked and loaded, eh? Just a thought.

Your security is up to you and you alone. Your government is ok with a certain level of american deaths. In fact it hastens the hue and cry for more laws to protect you (which take away your ability to protect yourself). Your becomeing a subject one step at a time. Do you not see it??? pathetic humans. pwder is dry.

oh, you are so welcome..
only please, try not to have too many nightmares over this, i’m sure the
authorities are aware of it, and may actually be keeping a low profile on
purpose, who knows..
but it’s still worrisome, particularly in light of O’s Islamist coddlings..
you/we can only do so much aside from
being vigilant & keeping others informed..
but as long as you have connects so to speak, might
as well spread this mind boggling info as well.. *sigh*
Homegrown Jihad
Springtime in Islamberg
[Islamberg is a branch of Muslims of the Americas Inc., a tax-exempt organization formed in 1980 by Pakistani cleric Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani, who refers to himself as "the sixth Sultan Ul Faqr," Gilani, has been directly linked by court documents to Jamaat ul-Fuqra or "community of the impoverished," an organization that seeks to "purify" Islam through violence.
Though primarily based in Lahore, Pakistan, Jamaat ul-Fuqra has operational headquarters in New York and openly recruits through various social service organizations in the U.S., including the prison system. Members live in hamaats or compounds, such as Islamberg, where they agree to abide by the laws of Jamaat ul-Fuqra, which are considered to be above local, state and federal authority. Additional hamaats have been established in Hyattsville, Maryland; Red House, Virginia; Falls Church, Virginia; Macon, Georgia; York, South Carolina; Dover, Tennessee; Buena Vista, Colorado; Talihina, Oklahoma; Tulane Country, California; Commerce, California; and Onalaska, Washington. Others are being built, including an expansive facility in Sherman, Pennsylvania.
Before becoming a citizen of Islamberg or any of the other Fuqra compounds, the recruits - - primarily inner city black men who became converts in prison - - are compelled to sign an oath that reads: "I shall always hear and obey, and whenever given the command, I shall readily fight for Allah's sake."
In the past, thousands of members of the U.S. branches of Jamaat ul-Fuqra traveled to Pakistan for paramilitary training, but encampments, such as Islamberg, are now capable of providing book-camp training so raw recruits are no longer required to travel abroad amidst the increased scrutiny of post 9/11.]

pardon the source, and don’t rightly know, but probably needs updating:
Overseas
As of 31 March 2008, U.S. armed forces were stationed at more than 820
installations in at least 135 countries. Some of the largest contingents are
the 50,000 military personnel deployed in Iraq, the 71,000 in Afghanistan,
the 52,440 in Germany (see list), the 35,688 in Japan (USFJ), the 28,500 in
Republic of Korea (USFK), and the 9,660 in Italy and the 9,015 in the United
Kingdom respectively. These numbers change frequently due to the regular
recall and deployment of units.
Altogether, 77,917 military personnel are located in Europe, 141 in the
former Soviet Union, 47,236 in East Asia and the Pacific, 3,362 in North
Africa, the Near East, and South Asia, 1,355 are in sub-Saharan Africa
with 1,941 in the Western Hemisphere excepting the United States itself.

100% spot-on.
Just_Saying commented:
As a very conservative American, I believe we should bring our military home to defend the US. Let Afghanistan take care of itself — our southern border security is more important than nation-building in Afghanistan/Pakistan.
