just in, per wastrel dennis gartman, but on geopolitics, highlighting the ? mark on obama's new surge intention against a people that have sent all invaders packing, and i am not naive enough to think this sorry time will be any different, and i have all the reasons that truly matter that says obama will be humbled, hair turned white, before his four years is up. ON THE POLITICAL FRONT, President Obama has no idea how material shall be the problems he will be facing in Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan in the coming months, but he will be facing enormous problems. The young Islamic fighters have been awaiting the Obama Presidency for quite some long while, certain that Obama will not take them to task for their actions. They are well trained; they were hugely religious and they are certain of God’s will and support. We read an interview with a young Taliban supporter recently, and the vehemence of his comments were shocking indeed. Qomendan Hemmet was interviewed by The Guardian in Salar, Afghanistan He said Salar is the new Faluja. The Americans and the Afghan army control the highway and five metres no each side. The rest is our territory. Yesterday, I had only 18 fighters… [but] with the blessing of Allah, the fighting is changing. When I started in this area, three years ago, I has six fighters, one RPG and two machine guns like these [Kalashnikovs]. Now I have more than 500 fighters; 30 machine guns and hundreds of RPGs. The Americans have installed hundreds of Afghan policemen; they patrol the street all the time, but they cannot control it. Last week they came by helicopters, searching the area because they cannot drive their vehicles here. They never come with tanks; the whole are is mined. When we fought the Northern Alliance we fought face to face. This war is more difficult; the enemy controls the skies and they have lots of weapons. Sometimes I am scared, but we yearn for fighting the kafirs [Ed. Note: Kafir is the Islamic, terribly derogatory term for Western “unbelievers.” It is the Islamic correlative to the “N” word.]. It is a joyful thing. full interview is here guardian.co.uk
