Apparently US and British forces scored a nice victory over the Taliban in a village on the outskirts of Musa Qala in Afghanistan.
Stephen Grey of ABC News was embedded as the only journalist to join NATO forces entering the town, writes that hundreds of Taliban fighters were killed in the battle:
I watched the Taliban being pounded these last few days with overwhelming force — vapor trails circled in the clear blue sky over the Helmand desert as B1 and B52 bombers backed by A10 tank busters, F16s, Apache helicopters and Specter gunships were used to kill hundreds of Taliban fighters.
Why haven’t heard about the overwhelming victory on the news or in the rest of the MSM?
Ace has a theory:
Now you may wonder why a major victory in the, ahem, “Forgotten War” (the first forgotten war Afghanistan, and not Forgotten War II, Iraq) isn’t being reported by the media.
It’s because they’re Patriots, buddy! They don’t want to leak out the sensitive intelligence to the Taliban that they just got their asses kicked unholy. They might not know yet, so keep it on the QT, all right?
If it wasn’t for embedded and honest journalists like Stephen Gray, and — more importantly — dedicated Military Bloggers like Michael Yon and Bill Roggio — we might actually win the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq but never know it.
Victory in the war against terror just doesn’t fit the MSM (or the Democrats) narrative…

Absolutely.
I don’t rely on the LameStream media for my info, but so many millions do, and think they are being kept informed.
Another significant event occurred yesterday in Europe, which has been blacked out in the LSM, and that is that the Lisbon Treaty was signed, thus rendering the 27 nations in the EU into the EUSSR. Unelected officials now make policy for Europe, and the sovereignty of those nations is worthless.
Here’s what the new EUSSR will do:

That this shadowy abomination could impact U.S. economic and domestic policy is a serious threat, IMHO.

On what sources do you rely on when you’re not posting stupid comments in right wing blogs?
It is not a constitution. it’s a treaty. No more no less, the Dutch and the French made sure of that. And because the US is becoming more and more of a blind folded super power, it’s time we do something about it.
Your quoting lies over and over again from obscure biased right wing blogs and post it as the only truth.
It’s time to open your eyes. I’ve read your ‘truth’ and it’s pathetic.
Figures a commie would like the “turnip.”
Euro bloggers are not happy about the loss of freedoms this abomination could bring, and work is under way to make certain more than one country rejects this treaty. Yeah, the constitution couldn’t pass, so they came back with a treaty, which is even worse.
Commies always love unelected officials.

All of them or some of them?
One of them or none of them?
You don’t know Jacques shit of them
I do not under estimate my enemies, learned that the hard way – do not under estimate me.
Henh.
I don’t just underestimate you, I discount you and anything you have to say.
You’re a commie, and commies cannot be trusted or believed.
So are you trying to make some kind of pathetic threat? Well, OOGA-BOOGA!
Only an idiot makes threats on the innernut.
Thou fawning clay-brained minnow!
The Dead Mice Floating in the EUSSR Soup.
Henh. So now the commies are trying to annex Europe in a completely different way. The Berlin Wall coming down has still got to be a huge disappointment for them.
For a more complete understanding of the EUSSR, for those that might be interested, and not in full support of it.

EU Parliament protest, caught on film.
In reference to the above post, youtube yanked the video of the protest inside of the EU Parliament, even though it didn’t violate any of their policies. They didn’t even put a tag saying this video no longer available, just made it go away as though it never appeared or even happened.
A story about it here.
Once again, youtube/google are in league with totalitarian regimes.
