All of America is under attack by the Taliban, the federal judiciary, Team BO, cultural sodomites, a lethargic and perverted “priesthood” in churches of all denominations, and a weak-kneed GOP.

THERE ARE GOOD AND GODLY MEN AND WOMEN LEFT IN THIS NATION.

We are witnessing His judgement with our loss of prestige and power along with the rapid moral decay.

Too cowardly to deliver Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh directly?

We took three rockets the day before yesterday (23rd), no one hurt. Tonight looks likely.

How can this be?

Obama, according to Karzai, says the Taliban are not our enemies and we don’t want to fight them.

Biden says “the Taliban, per se, is not our enemy”.

Indirect huh? Seems like it was pretty direct to me.

Doublespeak/Newspeak.

They are military terms. Direct means you have a direct line of sight to aim at the targets as in small arms fire, tank main guns, etc. Indirect means fired without a direct line of sight to target using spotters or firing at coordinates on a map as in artillery, rockets, mortars, etc. Most of the stuff I have experienced has been indirect fire (IDF).

It's not like this is unexpected or unusual... downrange and all. As long as no one got hurt, I found it quite exhilarating. Makes ya’ feel like a man. Get some!

Also, Muslims attacking those they disagree with, happens around the clock all over the world. We just don't hear about it that often. Check out India's situation for instance, by watching their national news on a regular basis.

Bill Roggio’s War Journal is one of the best sources for information on those often misunderstood sand dwellers.

“compound was hit by indirect fire”

Makes sense to me: Obama send billions to terrorist groups, they buy rockets, they fire them at us.

Does that make it “indirect friendly fire” in that case?

I don’t recall 107mm rockets launched in any US city, yet. We had 2 killed while they were sleeping off their Thanksgiving dinner.
