1 soldier for 5 Taliban ? Jann Scott’s Journal
Jun 1st
“U.S. officials hope the transfer will build greater trust between the Taliban and the Afghan government so the two sides can negotiate a solution, the official said.
Obama defended the exchange, saying the government of Qatar pledged to “put in place measures to protect our national security.” ” from USA Today
Here is where John McCain actually makes a lot of sense
“Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., expressed reservations about that part of the deal.
The Guantanamo detainees “are hardened terrorists who have the blood of Americans and countless Afghans on their hands,” McCain said. “I am eager to learn what precise steps are being taken to ensure that these vicious and violent Taliban extremists never return to the fight against the United States and our partners.”” USA Today
We have traded one soldier for 5 high level Taliban command who will most probably go right back into the theatre and start fighting us again. It brings into question the entire prosecution of the war in Afghanistan which is a piss ant of a country. A war That was has gone on for 10 years and has cost us billions of dollars and lots of American lives compared to it’s size. We should have lost 4 or 500 hundred guys there. That war should have been over in less than a year. We should have gone in with overwhelming force, 300,000 to 1,000,000 men, conquered the country , flew the american flag, jailed all of the bad guys, had war crimes trials, banned Islam and created a democratized government and left an American base there.
Instead we have been fucking around and playing footsie with a bunch of jerk offs who want to exploit us and kill us. I am a student of war and especially WWII. We did not mamby pamby around with countries in the middle East. They knew not to fuck with us or we would kill them all so they made friends with us in 1943. In 2000 As soon as we let our guard down, they created this crazy religion which gave them the right to start WWIII in NY city. The way we prosecuted the war in the Afghanistan, the middle east and Northern Africa now is all wrong. We are going to pay for that mistake in a big way because those mother fuckers are going to nuke us. That is the problem.
It ain’t over . And they have won. This prisoner exchange is no exchange at all. It is a Giant mistake by the Obama administration. Islam may currently be compared to Nazism or Shinto Buddhism. Very Military and very hell bent on destroying the world. Just look to the past. Look to the future and see roaming bands of dead people.
“The official named the detainees as:
• Khairullah Khairkhwa, an early member of the Taliban whose most prominent post was as governor of the Herat province from 1999 to 2001.
• Noorullah Noori, who served as governor of the Balkh province and played a role in coordinating fighting against the U.S.-backed Northern Alliance.
• Fazl Muhammad, the commander of the main force that fought against the Northern Alliance in 2001 and served as chief of army staff under the Taliban. He was also accused of war crimes during the Afghan civil war in the 1990s.
• Abdul Haq Wasiq, deputy chief of the Taliban’s intelligence service.
• Muhammad Nabi Omari, a minor Taliban official from the Khost province.”” USA Today

Fracking Marijuana GMO blow: Jann Scott’s Journal
May 4th
Marijuana chickens have come home to roost in Colorado Here are some of the problems we have. Russian gangs and Colombian drug cartels have moved in and are starting to take over. The DEA is busting them in Boulder and Denver but local law enforcement officials refuse to cooperate with DEA. They are corrupt. DEA does not trust local lE. They hate each other. One division chief here told me there has been a long standing feud. The DEA told me that they are investigating all grow and pot shops in Boulder and that they have been preparing cases on everyone involved including publicly elected officials. They include Boulder County DA Stan Garnet, US congressman Jared Polis, the entire Boulder city council and city staff. Polis has been going after the DEA and has been a strong proponent for legalization. Other problems include potency of edibles which nobody is investigating except news media. Ecoli, mold spores and Botulism have been found in pot shops and grow centers through a lab investigation done by the Denver Post. Colorado department of health told me they are looking into it. But they and Boulder county health department are so far behind the 8 ball they embarrass themselves. All of these pot operations should be shut down until theses diseases are eliminated. Meanwhile people are getting sick and children are overdosing. There have been grow fires too from baking pot oil in home bakeries which are also illegal. There is a banking problem since selling marijuana violates dozens of federal laws. One senior Boulder banking official told me that if they opened drug related checking accounts, the DEA could walk right in and seize all of the assents and then arrest bankers. This is done routinely across America. A Boulder Sheriffs official told me ” they had no idea what they were doing when they decided to open all of these grow operations and pot shops” “The consequences have been dire.” But Colorado and Boulder where I live has now overdosed on drugs and it is a mess.
GMOs have been around since 12,000 BC when man first domesticated animals. We have been genetically modifying animals and plants ever since. The GMO wackos seem to be focused on food Gene splicing . It is a religion to them. Just like the Christian Wackos have a problem with human genetic splicing. Neither are big issues and both are flat out wrong. The hope is that much gene splicing and genetic engineering will eliminate diseases and help develop disease curing drugs which is fine by me.
