Poppys and rare earth.
One of my buddys, no shrinking violet who flys apache helicopters and was in many wars, would not go outside the compound in Afghanistan unless he was on a mission.
He said nato was useless
Who wants that country of dirt farmers?
warlords
The media tells us Dem candidates who are at 1% are beating Trump by 10. Do they even believe their own lies?
No loya jurga with the warlords.
Loser? He is the current Secretary of State. He won the GOP nomination for Governor. In terms of intelligence, integrity, and the issues Kris Kobach is one of the finest and most impressive persons I have ever met. I have worked with him a number of times on immigration issues. To call him a "loser" is just one of the stupidest comments I have ever heard. If Kris is a "loser," what the Hell does that make you?
Kobach was born in Madison, Wisconsin on March 26, 1966 and his family moved to Topeka, Kansas when he was 7. His father owned a Buick dealership, where he worked while in high school. In 1984, Kobach graduated from Washburn Rural High School in Topeka, Kansas, where he was co-valedictorian, and class president.
He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Government from Harvard University, graduating summa cum laude and first in his department. The director of Harvard's Center for International Affairs, Professor Samuel P. Huntington, was Kobach's faculty advisor from 1984 to 1988. Huntington believed that migration, especially from Mexico and Latin America, represented the most perilous threat to what he called the "American identity." When Kobach taught law at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, Huntington's writings were required reading in the course.
From Harvard, Kobach went on to earn an M.A. and D.Phil. in Politics at the University of Oxford, attending having been granted a Marshall Scholarship. Returning to the U.S., he earned a J.D. from Yale Law School in 1995 and became an editor of the Yale Law Journal. During this time, Kobach published two books: The Referendum: Direct Democracy in Switzerland (Dartmouth, 1994), and Political Capital: The Motives, Tactics, and Goals of Politicized Businesses in South Africa (University Press of America, 1990)
From 1995 to 1996, Kobach clerked for Judge Deanell R. Tacha of the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in Lawrence, Kansas. He began his professorship at the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) shortly thereafter. In 2001, President George W. Bush awarded him a White House Fellowship to work for Attorney General John Ashcroft.
At the end of the fellowship, he stayed on as Counsel to the Attorney General. Shortly after the attacks of September 11, 2001, he led a team of attorneys and researchers who formulated and established the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System. In addition, he took part in work to reshape the Board of Immigration Appeals in 2002. After his government service ended, he returned to UMKC to teach law until he was elected Kansas Secretary of State.
As Secretary of State of Kansas, Kobach implemented some of the strictest voter identification laws in the United States and fought to remove nearly 20,000 registered voters from the state's voter rolls. Following considerable investigation and prosecution, Kobach secured nine convictions for voter fraud; all were cases of double voting, and most involved voters who had misunderstood their voting rights.
Kobach served as a missionary to Uganda in 2005 and 2006. Previously, he had volunteered to help build a school in a South African township through the Get Ahead Foundation. He served as a Big Brother. He was a national rowing champion (men's pair event, master's division in 1998; men's double event, master's division, 2001, 2002). He is an Eagle Scout.
Kobach was married on June 23, 2001 to Heather Mannschreck, a former environmental systems engineer who now has a part-time photography business in addition to homeschooling their five daughters. Kobach, his wife, and their children live on their farm near Lecompton, north of Lawrence, Kansas.

I have here an American flag flown over Musa Quala.
We took the place, fixed it up and nato said “well all seems quiet” and walked away.
The Afghans came screaming out of the hills on the Americans, and we had to retake it alone.
No Loya Jirga.
Lol just too good,please send us the video must see TV!!
agreed cloning only goes so far....
It is a land of mob bosses.
Queers, sluts, child molesters, baby killers, union thugs, communists, felons, wetbacks, muzzard terrorists, gang-bangers, human traffickers, moonbats, snowflakes and environmentalist whackos.
(oh sorry, that's the left mind)
The press receives 'news packets' from democrat war rooms - if the story's not in the packet - it's NOT news. (The New York Times and Washington Post suck...)
Looks like now she’s got some videos up on her main page with Sept 8 as the date:

Stanley Greenburg? and Amy Walter are in tune with wymns, Trump is toast!
Good move. The Taliband is so strong I don’t see anyone taking them out permanently. Maybe for a while but not forever. These guys even have night vision they will be tough to beat or take out.

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — The newest additions to the Afghan battlefield are fighters sporting Star Wars-like headgear containing Russian-built night goggles, American-made M-4 automatic rifles with laser pointers, and bulky telescopic sights made in Iran or Pakistan.
They wear baggy shalwar kameez clothing and turbans — and fight for the Taliban.
Members of an elite outfit called the Red Unit, they may even ride into battle aboard a Ford Ranger police pickup truck or an armored army Humvee.
The red dots from their laser pointers shine on police officers and soldiers from the Afghan government, which has benefited from billions of dollars in Western aid to the Afghan security forces.
In five nighttime attacks in a 36-hour period on Monday and Tuesday, fighters who appeared to be from such Taliban units killed scores of Afghan security personnel, mostly police officers, in two provinces in southern and western Afghanistan.

The Afghan authorities said that the insurgents in these and similar recent attacks were proving to be better equipped than government forces, particularly those in police units, which have suffered most of the casualties.
True...I wonder if that is her own boat... She can fish like that on my boat anytime.
Exactly whomever has the biggest guns rules. That won’t change unless the poppys go forever which I don’t see happening.
