The country is a land mine. If not handled properly, it will blow a hole in the Obama presidency before the midterm elections.
(Page 2 of 2)
Fifth, what is the exit strategy? What constitutes success?
There are no agreed answers to these questions within the U.S. government or among the NATO partners. In my conversations with Admiral Mullen, the head of the Afghan program at Voice of America, and a recent assistant secretary of state for South Asian affairs, I found no agreement on the objective of our Afghan policy, no agreement on what we can or should spend or on an exit strategy. Nor is there agreement on whether Afghanistan is a stand-alone problem. It may be that the Afghan situation cannot be addressed without addressing an increasingly dysfunctional government in Pakistan. There is no mystery as to what is at stake here. Simple math indicates the administration's commitment to restarting the U.S. economy means we cannot undertake another war costing billions, if not trillions of dollars. Moreover, the military is overstretched, which means we lack the manpower to apply overwhelming force at critical times and places.
Nor would we have the manpower to respond to emergencies in other parts of the world were we heavily committed in Afghanistan. But most of all, there is no public desire, no stomach, among the American people for another war of choice. Twice in the past half-century we have undertaken substantial military efforts abroad without sufficient public support and both, Vietnam and Iraq, have, in effect distorted and then destroyed the presidencies at the time.
The vast majority of Americans believe it is time to heal ourselves. Curiously, one asks why Barack Obama, given his public commitment to job creation, health care, and education, regulatory, and financial reform—is not among them.
The Way Forward
First, we must determine if Afghanistan is a stand-alone problem, then define our objectives and gain broad public support for whatever approach we take both in the U.S. and among our NATO allies. Failure to achieve this will bring political disaster to the Obama administration, compromise NATO, and continue the stalemate in Afghanistan.
Second, accept the lessons of history. Afghanistan is known as the "graveyard of empires" for a reason. Conquest has been attempted through the ages but has not succeeded in the Christian era.
Today limited funds and an overstretched military impose choices. We are not able to mount a sustained military effort in Afghanistan unless we choose to neglect today's pressing domestic economic requirements, or intend to assume heavy additional tax burdens or place additional crushing debt on future generations.
Given these conditions, a two-dimensional approach may make sense: first, accept that the objective is to deny the Taliban and al Qaeda a base in Afghanistan from which to strike the U.S. or its interests. Second, accept that separating the Taliban from opium revenues strikes at its ability to obtain weaponry. Then combine "soft" and "hard power" to use what Harvard professor Joseph Nye calls "smart power" to achieve this by addressing the opium issue and the Taliban/al Qaeda threat together.
Progress on the opium issue was made last June when the Group of Eight foreign ministers met in Japan and created a coordinating body to oversee the provision of some $4 billion in aid to the tribal areas between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Their purpose is to improve police and military training and anti-drug trafficking programs. The anti-drug trafficking program is modeled on the Nixon-Kissinger program in Turkey that used product licensing to encourage Turkish farmers to sell their illegal opium crops to pharmaceutical companies to make legal medicine. This program would encourage Afghan farmers to sell their opium produce to an NGO that would pay them the same or more than they would get from the Taliban. The NGO would then sell it to hospitals worldwide to help address the global shortage in morphine. Clearly, this would cost less than fighting the Taliban and it would have the effect of cutting off the revenue the Taliban use to purchase weapons. (Moreover, there is some indication Tehran would be sympathetic to such an initiative that might provide the platform for expanded discussions to, eventually, include nuclear issues.)
Secondly, the Taliban and al Qaeda could be denied bases and training facilities by fully deploying the highly mobile strike capacity created by the U.S. military over the past decade. Continuing, and unpredictable, strikes by these forces would make Taliban/al Qaeda attack planning difficult if not impossible. Such U.S./NATO units would be deployed with the acknowledgment of Kabul and Pakistani authorities where necessary, and would avoid: (1) the greater cost of deploying large number of troops to permanent bases in-country, (2) tensions with our allies over troop commitments, (3) the need to generate broad public support for yet another "war."
Suppressing the Taliban and separating it from its main source of financial support would render tribal authorities more approachable by the Karzai government. Finally, this approach accepts that neither we nor our allies fully understand the technology of nation building—and that this is not a nation-building effort—but we are prepared to join the international community in providing humanitarian assistance and stabilization measures at the request of the Kabul government.
How about Mexico? Drug cartels are waging war on our border. The USA can't seem to help Mexico, so why should we think we can do any good in Afghanistan?
"Afghan tribesmen held their ground in 1842 to slaughter a
British expeditionary force of some 15,000 men— leaving one man
to escape and relate the grotesque horrors of the battle. " As I
have written earlier, this gives a false impression. The British
force had only about 4,000 fighting soldiers. The rest were
bearers and camp-followers. And of those 4,000 fighting soldiers,
3,000 were Indian Sepoy troops, trained and equipped for
campaigning on the hot plains of India, not in the
mountain-passes and deep snow-drifts of an Afghan winter. Many
were actually bare-foot. Many would probably have died of cold
even without the enemy. They were massacred while trying to
withdraw from Kabul to British India, by Afghan tribesman who
were acclimatised to the country, warmly clad and with
longer-ranged muskets. The British were also handicapped by a
sick and confused old general, who, it is my guess, was suffering
from then undiagnosable and untreatable diabetes. The disaster
would quite likely have been avoided if, instead of trying to get
through the mountain passes in winter, he had holed up in the
Kabul fortress and made a dash for India when the snows had
melted in spring. this tells us nothing abnout campaigning in
Afghanistan today, except the obvious fact that it is a tough
country with tough people.
Apart from a big skirmish at Maiwand years later, the Kabul
retreat was the only major British defeat in Afghanistan.
Possibly the British deliberately exaggerated the horrors of
Afghanistan campaigning to discourage the Russians. Well-led and
well-equipped British armies with a degree of local support did
quite well, though they generally got in and got out with limited
and well-defined objectives - it probably helped that, unlike the
Russians in the 198os, they were not trying to convert an
intensely Muslim people to an Atheist ideology.
Further to the above, the British Army massacred in Afghanistan in 1842 was hardly an "expeditionary force." It was a garrison which had been peacefully installed in Kabul to support a local ruler and after he was murdered was trying to withdraw as if had no further role.
Everyone forgets about the War that never ends and we never win.
The Drug War. Make all drugs legal and you deprive these
countries of billions in profit. I could use some good weed right
now and a little opium after looking at my IRA.
Obama should read "the man who would be king" by Macintyre to
find out what we are up against. A country run by gangs who will
sell their loyalty for a few dollars on an hourly basis, a
country with no merchant class or history of trade. A country
where the Great Britian and Russian empires went up smoke.
Use the drones. Just like in Iraq,if we lose one US soldier it is
one too many.
Go after them with robots and drones. Build swarms of drones that hover in the air and shoot everything that moves, and will allow our forces to pull out. Drones can keep the Taliban forces in check for a while, and prevent them from organizing more 9-11 style attacks. Then work on plan B. Ultimately we need to direct a good sized asteroid to collide with this region. It will get rid of Afganistan, Pakistan and Iran for good. And if done secretly, it will be totally deniable. A so-called "act of god".
Maybe we should have figured this all out before Oct 7, 2001? Hmmm? Maybe? Now, after 7.5 years of "the best military in the world" fighting a bunch of illeterate goat farmers to a rousing stalemate, NOW we wanna ask questions like "what constitutes success?" And our "leaders" (and I use that term VERY loosely) can't even agree? HAHAHAHA!
I swear if I were the Chinese, Russians, Persians, hell even North Koreans I would be absolutely EMBOLDENED by the, umm, "success" of the American military in Iraq & Afghanistan.
As an OIF veteran I'm disgusted by the ignorance shown by most Americans about the war, but even more so conservatives. Iraq was a war that needed to be fought and won , because first and foremost it was the war al Qaeda desparately wanted and needed to win. They lost and it has been won by President Bush and the US military without the support of the American people.
Sadly, Obama and the American people could squander the victory and eventually cause the death of thousands of more Americans needlessly, but what can one expect from a nation unwilling to sacrifice for freedom?
Despite UN & media claims Marines have kept watch over the Muthanna chemical dump where Sarin, VX, Tuban, Mustard Gas, etc. are stored (some have even been wounded by the WMD stored there). During the invasion at al Qut Marines found massive storage rooms filled with the ingredients to make WMD (they just needed to be mixed together). Over 500,000 tons of yellow cake that could be used in a nuclear weapons program were removed from Iraq. Without firing a shot Lybia surrendered its massive WMD and nuclear weapons program. Pakistan despot's supplier of nuclear weapons has ceased its bloody trade in nukes.
We've killed literally thousands upon thousands of al Qaeda fighters and extremist Muslims who needed to die with a death toll smaller than any previous war. In fact, military deaths during the Bush years were smaller than the Carter, Reagan and Clinton administrations.
We are at war and people die that is the hard fact of life. If America is to maintain its freedom it needs to get a "pair" and accept that we who choose to serve our country in the military might die in its defense. We're not afraid so please don't demean us with your gutlessness and unwillingness to sacrifice for the future of our country by whining about military death tolls in war. Where were you during the Carter, Reagan and Clinton administrations when we were dying needlessly during relative times of peace?
As for Afghanistan it is a backwater nation that is of no relative importance on the world stage and never has been, but it does afford us the opportunity to kill Muslim extremists. Killing America's violent Islamic enemies is a necessity, because these savage cannot be reasoned with or coddled. If we don't want to live in a country weakened by attacks from Islamic jihadist there is only one answer and it is not negotiating with Iran, Hamas or any other violent group of Muslims. It is eleminating and erradicating the threat.
Obama will probably lose in Afghanistan, because like a majority of Americans he lacks the intestinal fortitude of real war leaders like Churchill and George W. Bush, but do not use your faux concern for the lives of America's warriors to validate your personal desire to submit to Islamic terror.
I'm re-reading the comments and I fail to see "faux concern" for troops masquerading as a desire to "submit to Islamic terror."
What I do see are two boondoggles masquerading as real wars. I see failure to truly identify the enemy of Western Civilization, i.e. islam itself. I see failulre to secure our own borders at home. I see feel-good policies aimed at winning hearts and minds instead of eradication.
I would gladly deploy to TX or AZ and shoot anyone who steps across the border--man, woman or child--or help build a fence. I'd volunteer to go on an illegal immigrant round up, kicking in doors here and sending them back to their own effed-up country. I'd volunteer to join an elite team to find and destroy all the islamic terrorist training camps operating RIGHT HERE IN AMERICA (but let a goofy Christian who thinks he's Jesus buy some guns and we burn his house down--sorry, that's a whole other rant). I'd gladly strap on my battle-rattle and close down every last frigging mosque in America and deport the islamists back to Arabia.
Problem is nobody in the military or government has the "intestinal fortitude" to make the right decisions for America's survival. Holding on to power (politician) or making rank (warrior/politician) is what we base our decisions on.
Problem is nobody has the guts to say it, let alone do it. You know, I could care less if the frigging islamists want to kill each other, chop off their daughter's heads, a$$-rape their sons, or worship a false moon god. Keep it in your borders. When you spill that crap out, you're done. No negotiating, no helping you build your country, no special treatment. Done.
Anyway, onward to Afghanistan. There are pencils and soccer balls to hand out to future jihadists.
Not to worry, these bad guys will not cross the border in the middle of the night. Our stupid state dept well give them green cards and let them just fly over here, just like the last group did.
The ten year drought will also factor into the war. Even more civilians will die with attacks on humanitarian aid. I know our armed services will be killed trying to feed people. Ordinary people will will be used like pawns by the taliban.
Let me address a couple of points here.As to Iraq, Mr. Tomlinson is correct concerning the WMD materials found in-country. This does not take into account the types and amount of materials moved out of the country prior to the invasion. But that was of minor importance in the decision to invade Iraq. Iraq was in continual violation of the terms of the 1991 ceasefire that put the Gulf War on hold [targeting and firing upon US warplanes in the no-fly zone, attacks against the Kurds, refusal to comply with UN inspections, etc.]. It provided the opportunity to demonstrate, to would be enemy nations, exactly what the US was capable of militarily and would allow for a more secure place to base 50,000 to 80,000 US troops on the border of Iran, an avowed enemy of the US and world peace. This objective has now been reached. That nearly every non-Palestinian jihadist raced into Iraq to die at the hands of US troops was an unexpected bonus. Through missteps by the Bush administration, it has not been as successful in cowing Iran as hoped, but it has paid large benefits in the war against Islamic terror.
Afghanistan has been a different story. Afghanistan was supposed to be a quick in and out. Go in, find , arrest or kill Osama Bin Ladin, and get out. Afghanistan has absolutely no strategic importance to the US. But, Bin Ladin escaped to Pakistan, where we could not pursue him. A policy of active containment was adopted and "nation building" began. That the Afghans did not wish a nation to be built was irrelevant and rather than just packing up and leaving, we are still there. Unfortunately, the "nation" of Afghanistan extends for only a few dozen miles around Kabul. The rest is ruled by tribal leaders and the Taliban. There are also pressing reasons why Afghanistan is no longer a tenable place for US troops. The corridors of supply are rapidly closing. With the closing of Manas Airbase in Kyrgyzstan in the works, logistical support for troops in Afghanistan is limited to roads from Pakistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan [both of latter are essentially landlocked as far as ease of access for the US is concerned]. Given the lack of desire for a stable central government in Afghanistan with its isolation it is doubtful that any further, measurable progress will be made there, by the US.
As to Crusader's suggestion that we retreat to within our own borders, throughout history, that has never worked. It is always better to fight on someone else's turf, preferably your enemy's, rather than your own. Destroy his infrastructure, his society and his wealth, not your own. I will agree that this country, in its quest for political correctness, has failed miserably to secure our own land. But, that does not mean that the Iraq campaign, nor the original Afghan campaign, were not worthwhile. Unfortunately, Afghanistan will turn into Barack Obama's Vietnam, if we stay much longer.
its ok they have there war plan & its so good that the war is over now..
Thomas, I am not saying retreat to our own borders; I am saying we should secure them though. I am saying we should have cut off immigration from islamic countries on 9/12/01. I am saying we should round up and deport as many illegals as we can find, and build a freaking fence. It's funny, if you want to learn how to secure our southern border you should check out how the Mexicans secure THEIR'S!!!!! Nobody accuses them of keeping Guatemalens out though, do they?
We left our back door open and someone came in and robbed us, so we rush to the ghetto and try to find bad guys. Meanwhile the bad guys are still in the house and our back door is still wide open. Logic says get the bad guys out and put some locks on the door first, but then again nobody ever accused a politician or warrior/politician of being logical.
I think Crusader is on the right track. Like him,I don't care who runs Afghanistan, or who wants to run it. If there is ever going to be someplace on this planet that is NOT of "vital security interest" to the US, it is going to have to be places in Central Asia like Afghanistan. Afghanistan produces no important goods. It has no economic significance at all-except for narcotics. It does not share anything at all with us culturally. We are not bound by treaty to protect it, or its government. It poses no threat to any sea lane or air space that might matter to us, or to any of our allies. It is a landlocked pile of mountains and rubble about as far away from us as a country could possibly be.
OK, pre9/11, Afghanistan harbored terrorists who were plotting against us. But I think we have more than made our point that we will not tolerate that happening again to the Taliban. And, even if we haven't, and even if, upon our leaving, the Taliban should take control of the country and again invite Al Qaeda (or something like it) to do its planning on Afgan soil, we are not without recourse. That's why we have all those intelligence agencies and satellites and stealth bombers, missiles and drones and so forth. Locate the terrorist camps and then bomb them into Kingdom Come. And do the same to the Taliban leadership in Kabul which allowed them to be there.
If that doesn't work, or is insufficient, we also have "Special Forces." I often wonder why they were not sent in to do the job after 9/11. My guess is that the answer is politics. The Bush Administration needed to start a big war to make itself look tough. It seems to me that 500 or so of our SpecialFforces soldiers, properly equipped, could be parachuted or choppered in to just about anyplace, at any time, and defeat up to 20x their number of raggedy ass terrorists.
What do we have them for, anyway, if not for that kind of thing? I refuse to beleive, with the hundreds of billions we spend on the military every year, that we are really reduced to only two options: (1) do nothing/diplomacy/sanctions or (2) full scale war--conventional invasion followed by COIN as in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Pull out of Afghanistan. If the Taliban take over, so be it. Give them fair warning: if terrorists plotting against us are on your soil we will bomb you and them without mercy. It they remain, we will send in Special Forces to kill them. If you attempt to interfere with our Special Forces operations, we will smash your government and armies with our air power. Our intent is to neutralize any threat coming from your country's territory at the minimum cost in lives and money to us. We don't care about collateral damage. We don't care about anything. We will not be sending in aid after the bombings. Nor we will be doing any "nation building."
It's your frickin' country. You can run it any damn way you want to. We actually respect that. You want Sharia law, go for it, we don't care. You want every man to wear a beard, that's your businees, not ours. You can do whatever you want in terms of economics, that's your affair. Just don't pull on our chain, or let anyone within your jurisdiction pull on it.
It seems to me there was a time, and not so long ago, that it was none of my, or anyone else in the USA's, business whether the Afghans had "democracy" or not, or whether the girls there went to school or not. Nor did I, or any other American, have to know the difference between a Pashtun and Tajik, or whatever. Let's go back to those days. Let's become strangers again to Afghanistan.
I don't want the US to be like the British Empire in its hayday, with its fingers in every pie and its "experts" on every national and subnational group from Timbuktu to Tashkent. We can remain a superpower, we can meet all of our treaty obligations, we can protect those parts of the world that actually share our culture, we can avoid isolationism, and we can defend ourselves against terrorism, without having to referreee among the six dozen factions, ethnic groups, political tendencies and so on in Afghanistan and places like it.
Obama's Vietnam. Loser.
there were many reasons for Bush to invade Iraq.
1. at the time,there was much noise and panic about Iraq or
terrorists in Iraq(there were terror camps in Iraq prior to
911)had suitcase nukes
2.we had to had to have a way to threaten the Saudis to keep
their inhouse terrorists in check without invading them. This
invasion of Iraq put us on their border and caused them to get
tough on domestic radicals fearing they were our next
3.Saddam was financing much of the terror directed at Israel. he
was paying palestinians to use their children as human bombs.
these are the people obama and libs think we can reason
4.I hate to use this reason but since our new harvard educated
President used it as the main reason for his new budget, "it was
better than doing nothing". And it was. We had to show these
radical dogs that we are to be feared. Bam and Libs do not
understand the mindset in the middle east,they hate appeasers and
view it as a weakness. they respect and honor people who use
power to smash thier enemies.
5.Iraq is a country with a rich history of trading and a middle
class. There is a basis for a democracy. One flourishing
democracy could lead to others. Obama will destroy all of this.
Was the war mismanaged at times? Yes. All wars go through stages of disaster and success. All the best laid plans end the moment the first bullet is fired. But we won this war in two weeks and then Bush,didnt put his finger to the winds,he stuck it out. He won. We Won. The US and Iraq won. Those who hate freedom and good lost. There are many things I dont like about W,but was the only person in the entire country who had the guts to do the right thing. He went it by himself in the face of incredible odds. The Dems and mainstream media did everything in their power to defeat the US in this war. Bush beat them all. History will record that
Bush was stalwart in defending our country's national security, but I wish he would have defended our party, here at home, just a fraction as much. No doubt about it, his unwillingness to strike back at liberals' attacks hurt us. The enemy within was just as dangerous as the one outside. :(
I don't have any answers but I do have a fear. It is that more than 100 nuclear weapons with delivery systems will fall into the hands of homicidal maniacs.
That's why I fear that Iranian bastard. The libtards are asleep at the switch, too. The perfect storm.
In the end, history belongs to those who show up. NATO - other than the Brits, is a joke. They have no deployable forces worthy of mention and the few they do have don't have the will to fight. What's worse, the Europeans (with the exception of their Muslim immigrants) don't even reproduce at replacement rates. Expect all of Europe to be Muslim in fifty years. Their political will to resist the spread of Islamo-fascism is already nonexistent.
Get ready to go it alone, US. If you want to KEEP the freedoms you have had for two hundred years, you will ultimately need to deter militant Islam the same way you did militant Shintoism and the Bushido. Nuke them until they yield.
Nothing else is going to work.
I'm more concerned about the commies within. Who says we're going to survive them?
Michael Tomlinson's letter should be required reading for members of Congress before they open their twaddle holes on the subject of Iraq or Afghanistan. Thanks, Michael, for your service. Didn't ya hate the sand and no-seeums? Damn bugs. The fact is that after the FGW we knew there were a lot of WMD that we had missed and could not be accounted for – and it has never been accounted for. I remember one incident where the Iraqis' were transporting a few tankers of VX back up HWY 6 from the Kuwait boarder AO and one truck caught fire and burned. The Brits did the recon and got the samples. Where the other truckloads went? No one knows. They remain unaccounted for. And that's just one incident.
Dr. Germ had been working on viruses and bacteria weapons for years and had weaponized anthrax successfully for years. The quantities of production of her work have never, can never, or could never properly be accounted for by UNMOVIC and UNSCOM even before Sadam kicked them out. The fact is the world is responsible for the Iraq war for not having the guts to finish the job the first time or properly monitor Iraq after the FGW. And by monitor I mean overthrow the sand-turd like we would have done in the good old days.
When we were ordered to stand down back in 91 a fellow Staff Sergeant and I looked at each other, shook our heads and said at the same time "We'll be back here in ten years". Even though we knew standing down had to happen given our mandates, we just couldn't believe it. We had the forces right there to finish the job and couldn't. Too bad this world is filled with gutless weasels – including this country.
I'm waiting for the next successful attack, because its gong to be a jaw dropping sight to behold. These people don't plan small. Maybe they'll hit Hollywood, or Frisco, or the East Side of NY where a lot of liberals live. Then we can hear Michael Moore tell them one more time how they hit the wrong people – how the liberals hate Bush and the Right and should be spared the horror of the terrorist's attack. How they (Liberals) are simpatico with the terrorists and their "struggle" - remember that? Maybe the attack will kill Jon Stewart's wife and kid the next time. I wonder if he'll think its funny? Whatever the outcome, the reason for the next attack will be our stupidity and lack of courage.
Bush did a lot of wrong things, but he did understand our enemy better than the current crop of Lefty traitors running things. God bless him for that. As far as his stewardship on other matters, he stunk up the place. God help us now.
Thanks again, Mike. You hit the nail on the head.
JTS, why didn't Bush tell the American people what you and Mr. Tomlinson have just stated? He had the bully pulpit, why didn't he use it? Drives me nuts--and you're right, we are in it deep now. The American people DID support the war when it was explained to them; but Bush allowed his enemies to define him and his policies. Talk about a crisis of leadership. It's not hard to see our future, and it ain't pretty.
Hey Crusader,
Have you ever asked yourself the questions, "Who supported Saddam
Hussian in the 80s? Who helped create Osama and the Taliban? Who
provided the bulk of the raw materials for Saddam's WMD
programs?" The answer to all of them unequivocally is the USA. We
went to Iraq to control the supply of oil and to create a sister
country for Israel. It had nothing to do with WMD or Saddam or
his tyrannical regime. We are in Afghanistan to secure the supply
of oil from the central Asian countries by building pipelines and
to keep in eye on China and Iran. These are legitimate strategic
goals if pursued by competent and knowledgeable governments, not
by idiots who follow the antiquated colonial policies of the
Yeah, the war in Afghanistan has nothing to do with those jetliners that flew into our buildings. Nothing. That September morning was just a figment of our imagination. For some leftist freaks it's all about oil, all of the time. Drug addled moron.
It is true that the US did support Saddam and the Mujahadeen in the '80's. That was to counter what was perceived to be a larger threat, Iran and the USSR. You remember them. The country that took our diplomatic personnel hostage for over a year and declared war upon our nation and that benign dictatorship whose leader said, "We will bury you!" about the US. But, Iraq was never about oil, as evidenced by the fact that we have never seen any of it here, at home, since we invaded. As I postulated earlier, it was not because Saddam and his WMD's were any immediate threat to us. It was for other reasons related to national security that Iraq was invaded. Colonialism has become the label placed upon any military activity outside the US by the US government. The fact is, that during the history of the United States, this country has attempted to divest itself of every overseas possession that it has ever acquired. We are very probably the least colonial nation of the modern era.
I feel bad for our military; I wouldn't want to serve under this feckless, SOB president. God bless our warriors, I pray for you daily.
Mr Halper,
You are mostly right in your article. However, as one of the
recently returning officers, from the very center of Afghan
operations, you have one point very worng and that makes all the
difference. Specifcally, you state " this has been made worse by
our opium eradication program that destroys the cash crop most
farmers rely upon to survive. "
Through a very foolish arrangement some years back, after the
newly elected government was feeling its oats, we (US and ISAF)
agreed to leave eradicating opium in the field to Karzi and
company exclusively for the government's Ministry of the
Interior. So now opium has tripled under our watch. Any
eradication effort you elude to is targeted by Karzi's brother
Wali (Govenor of Kandahar -90 percent of world opium production)
to those farmers not paying his "non-eradication" insurance. And
they pay it plenty. That's why only one percent of the opium is
ever eradicated. In fact they are stockpiling it so much world
heroin prices are crashing.
Though a retraction would be nice , please just get your facts
straight if you plan to speak generically for all us "returning
The real truth never understood by the media is drug dealings by
goverment officials (Wali and 90 percent of the high office
holders) is the basis of the lack of trust in the governement.
Lack of trust in giovernment is the basis for renewed trust in
In the south and east the taliban have shadow governemnts
everywhere and their kangaroo courts serve up justice swiftly and
effectively. (Only one punishement - death). People like
Do you see how it all works now? Not too complicated, just way
too politcal for anything serious to be done it.

full written walkthrough very soon, but in the meantime, here are
some answers to some of the frequently asked questions about
Mythology Island. Having trouble? Post a question in the comments
and I'll try to answer it!
Getting Hercules to Help You
Hercules won't help you until you have all five items from Zeus'
quest. Once you have the five items, bring them to Athena. Zeus
will appear and steal them. The big jerk! Once this happens, talk
to Athena and she will tell you that Hercules will help you.
You'll need to have the magic mirror from Aphrodite because
Hercules doesn't want to have to walk. He's so lazy!
Getting the Hydra Scale
You can see how to do this in the videos, but basically you need
to jump up when the Hydra is about to strike. He will rear one of
his heads back to attack and his eyes will bulge out. When this
happens, jump up in the air and then try to land on top of his
head. That head will get knocked out. When all five heads get
knocked out, the Hydra will be asleep and you can click on him to
get one of the scales.Poptropica I'll have a

A man of faith in a godless age is hitting Americans where it hurts.
Mr. and Mrs. American Spectator Reader, let P.J. O'Rourke talk sense to your kids.
In Britain, defending your property can get you life.
The debacle of this president's administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.
It won't take long for conservatives to scratch this presidential wannabe off their 2008 scorecard.
The American Christmas, like the songs that celebrate it, makes room for everybody under the rainbow. Is that why so many people seem to be hostile to it?
Was the President done in by the economy, or by the politics of the economy?

AppGalleries + InMobi = #WINNING
We are delighted to announce that we have signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by InMobi, the world's largest independent mobile advertising company! The AppGalleries product will join InMobi's growing product suite and moving forward MMTG Labs will be a wholly owned subsidiary of InMobi. Nalin and I started this company with a vision of disrupting app distribution, and we're happy to say that this vision is stronger than ever by partnering with InMobi.
No Huge Changes. Business As Usual
The company and service you have grown accustomed to isn't going anywhere. In fact, it's quite the opposite. The team at InMobi truly sees our vision, appreciates our hard work and dedication, and is committed to giving us the resources to disrupt app distribution and discoverability as we know it today. You can expect us to continue to do what we have always been doing — just at a global scale.
What Are The Plans Moving Forward
Though the announcement may seem sudden, the InMobi and AppGalleries teams have been working tirelessly for the past several months to solidify the next steps of the AppGalleries product. Obviously we can't share the whole product roadmap here, but we want to give you some insight into what will be the next steps. With the help of InMobi's resources and existing infrastructure in international markets, the AppGalleries team is going to be able to leverage their help to spread AppGalleries all over the globe—a vision we've been excited about for a long time. We will also be adding tons of product features to make the administration of app galleries much easier. That's about all I can share at this time, but more goodies are definitely on their way.
We're All In!
The reason we'll be able to continue to provide the great service you've come to expect is because the whole AppGalleries team will be coming along for the ride. We all love what we're doing and we're all passionate about disrupting the app distribution game. We love our publishers, we love helping small developers get their first downloads, and we especially love helping users find apps that they mean the most to them. It's was an awesome surprise to find out that InMobi loves all of those things just as much as we do!
Thank You and Stay Tuned!
Words can't describe the amount of gratitude to every single person that has contributed to our story so far. We couldn't be here without all of you playing your parts. From customers, developers, publishers, significant others, investors (all 23 of you, seriously we had a lot), friends, Blue Bottle Coffee, Taqueria Cancun in the Mission, to lenient landlords. You are all the reason for today's celebration and tomorrow's success at InMobi. THANK YOU!
Founders of MMTG Labs

Shrovetide football, Ashbourne, Derbyshire
Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday
Every year locals take to the streets of Ashbourne to play an oversized football match where the entire town is the playing field. The game is thought to date from Elizabethan times. Those born on the north side of the river play against those from the south, with the two goals set three miles apart, where mill wheels once stood. To score, players must tap the ball three times against a marker board.
Shops board up their windows and cars are parked elsewhere as the resulting match becomes something of an unruly scrum. Only for the brave.

An increasingly popular trend in state governments across the country is to privatize prisons. The New Hampshire legislature just voted to do it in that state with the promise that it would save taxpayers $10 million over the next two years. Most of these private prisons are in the southwest, so I guess an inmate from Nashua might do his time in Nogales. This strategy might not be the cost-saving panacea it's advertised to be. A recent article in the New York Times disputes the magnitude of the claimed savings and points out that the private prisons are contractually obligated to take only the healthiest prisoners. If one gets sick, he gets shipped back to the sending state for care and government incarceration.
Even if the claims of cost savings are accurate, I don't think this is a good idea. There are certain fundamental things that government should do itself – police and fire protection or two that come to mind. Incarcerating prisoners is another. That's our collective responsibility and we should do it within our own jurisdiction in a humane but not extravagant manner. Shipping prisoners to some far-away institution simply to save money seems very 19th century. But that seems to be the target era of much of the political agenda being pushed these days. I used to say there was a movement afoot in this country to roll our social policies back to the age before Roosevelt. At the time, I meant Franklin, now I think before Theodore is more the case.

At this week's Farnborough International Airshow, Embraer signed a new order with K2 SmartJets, of Greece, for two more Legacy 600 aircraft. The value of the deal, at list price, is US$ 53.86 million, based on January 2009 economic conditions. The first delivery is scheduled for 2009.
"We are honored that K2 SmartJets has such confidence in our executive jets that they are confirming additional orders less than a year after they introduced the first jet of this type," said Colin Steven, Embraer Vice President, Marketing and Sales – Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, Executive Jets. "We are very pleased to contribute to the expansion of this successful young company, knowing that their customers appreciate the unparalleled combination of luxurious comfort, space, and performance of the Legacy 600."
K2 SmartJets received its first Legacy 600 in July 2007. With its market growing rapidly, the two additional jets will allow the air charter operator to respond to the demand from corporations and private individuals for ad hoc charter flights to various destinations in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
"The service introduction of our first Legacy 600 was so successful that we are thrilled to confirm our second and third aircraft," said Andreas Karotsieris, CEO of K2 SmartJets. "The Legacy jet is ideal for premium VIP travel from our Athens base, and our customers enjoy the stylish comfort, ample space, and convenient amenities."
Embraer says Greece has shown to be an important and expanding market for the Legacy 600. Four jets of this model have already been delivered to Greek customers to date.

The 99% Spring!
The 99% Spring training extravaganza took place April 9-14, with over 900 individual trainings in cities and towns across the U.S., and 1,000+ actions happening in the weeks since in a show of "the 99% Power", including Tax Day actions, bank Shareholder meeting takeovers, and more!
Is the 99% Spring an attempt to co-opt the Occupy movement and funnel the masses into electoral campaigning for the Democrats? We think not.
Is the 99% Spring training program perfect? Of course not.
The fact is, we at Ruckus try to use our precious resources as strategically as possible. For us, that typically means going for depth rather than breadth. But when the opportunity comes along to help introduce thousands of people to direct action, who previously may not have considered it, we're going to do our best to make that effort a success. We want to build power broadly, and therefore, helping provide the stepping stones for people's engagement in direct action is an important and worthwhile endeavor. But this work does not come without challenges - or criticism, from all sides. (But we're used to it!)
For deeper background about the power (and challenges) of alliance-building and mass-organizing raised by the 99% Spring project, please check out these two great pieces from our friends:

Life With and Through Disaster
As a child, I looked at traversing rough roads and floodwaters as a wonderful adventure for explorers and heroes. In my young mind, I treasure the thought of being able to go through that kind of experience. I held part of those thoughts when I went to work for Simbahang Lingkod ng Bayan as a program officer for disaster response and management.
When I began working though, it did not take long for me to realize that responding to disasters takes much more than an explorer's adventurous spirit. In truth, a lot of times I realized that I was even no capable explorer or adventurer. But then, it was in the face of those realities that I was given the chance to dig deep for the courage, love, and faith that I never knew I had.
I can still clearly remember the time we had an assessment in Sorsogon. To reach the community we had to assess, we had to brave our way through the chest-deep mud. That moment, everything that I had written in my resume – my JVP experience, my social action background, and my passion to help others – was not enough to quell my fear of drowning in mud. Knowing the urgent need to cross and realizing no other way to go about the task, I made my way through the mud with tears in my eyes.
There was also the time when we hiked up a mountain in Buhi, Camarines Sur to evaluate our water system project. We needed to hike for more than two hours to reach the area and in order to gather the needed data. More than being an uphill climb, we worked our way through an alarming vertical slope. During the hike, my heart pounded whenever I would try to look back or down. At one point, I almost lost my footing. Looking back, I could only thank God for helping me pushed through with that task.
With the adverse devastation that Ondoy has brought, I needed to be in the covered courts almost round the clock to oversee the relief operations. I never thought I could become more generous with my time. I needed to be ready for deployment any time of day. Likewise, when we do relief operations outside Metro Manila or Luzon, we leave at 12 midnight so we can be in the assigned area by early morning of the next day to deliver and distribute loads of packed goods. The service van that we use becomes a dressing room, bedroom, and even a dining area. There is no more time to take a bath because once we are in the area, our immediate thought and action is to respond. We would have to settle for a spray of alcohol. To be able to respond to another area, our relief operations for one area needed to be done within a day. We would travel from Manila to any area and then back again to another. In the course of the operations, it is almost inevitable to experience hunger, lack of sleep, and body pains. The reality of the work becomes not only physically, but emotionally draining as well.
And that would not be the last time I would ask why these things have to supernaturally happen at the same time. It is not easy to be challenged by something greater than oneself. My "adventures" had become less exciting than how I thought they would be when I was younger.
During typhoon Pepeng, we responded to Benguet and brought the usual packed goods. The residents however, told us that they would really appreciate it if we give them monggo beans instead. I never thought I could exert more initiative in asking hard questions about calamity-hit communities and their needs. From this, I learned that you also need to check and respect the culture of one's area in determining the kind of help to extend that, which is more appropriate.
I have had low and disheartening experiences to make the adventure get vague as well. I experienced feeling isolated – being the only female in a usually all-male group. I have experienced sacrificing precious time with my family and friends. I have felt helplessness at being prevented by rules and protocols to relieve those in need. I have felt hopelessness at the immensity of calamity-stricken families' needs compared to the limited aid that we bring.
I have thought of giving up many times. I have thought that I am extremely unworthy. I have thought that maybe, working with disaster was not for someone like me. However, I have also realized that despite my doubts, I am still alive. I have been able to help many people, and I have made it to shore. This job has revealed to me so many of my shortcomings but I am at peace with the way this work has enriched my life. Somehow, working with disaster has taught me to look beyond myself, my weaknesses, and my fears.
I never thought I would be so ready as to have a deployment backpack up for grab at any time. I never thought I would learn to adjust to a plethora of personalities, from the strict to the very lax. I never thought I would learn to value people and their contribution in helping to make other people's lives better. I never thought I would learn to become obedient to my superior and to take responsibility for my actions. I never thought I would agree to become accountable for the welfare of others. When my help is asked, running counter to my survival instincts – I have learned to answer or say YES.
Through and with it all, I have seen with my eyes that where darkness abounds, there grace abounds also. Because disasters destroy properties and lives at such a large scale, working with disaster has opened my eyes to great need, great inadequacy, and great grace. After being disillusioned of being superwoman enough to help superbly, I have eventually come to accept that I can only be myself. My sacrifices, labor, and skill will always run short of what is needed, but the mere attempt to open my life up to and for others is worth it.
I am grateful for my co-workers who value my well-being more than they value my output. Their affirmation, assurance, and readiness to help me have encouraged me to move forward and grow. My friends have also contributed to my staying in Simbahang Lingkod ng Bayan. I feel happy whenever they tell me that I look happy and content, and that they too were inspired to apply for vocations similar to mine. I am happy to have inspired others. I am also grateful to have parents who have supported me by never demanding to find a less risky and a more financially rewarding profession. Naturally, they ask me if I am content with where I am – to which again, I answer and say YES.
Working with disaster has to date not only been my greatest gift to my country and fellowmen but also, my greatest gift to myself. I have never thanked God as meaningfully as I do now.
Over time, I have learned that choosing to work with disaster is in no way an adventure yet no big disaster after all.

- Grand Etang - GRENADA
Species information
DescriptionLArge palm, often with mound of many aerial or exposed roots at base. Basal leaves usually horizontal, 3-6m x 2m, drooping slightly at the tips. Crownshaft conspicuous, 2-5m long, swollen at base, bright green. Unfolding leaf bud conspicuous at apex of crown. Leaflets 10-100cm long x 5cm, often split into two at tip. Leaflets in two planes. This species is swollen at the base, then more or less cylindrical. R. regia, from Cuba, another cultivated 'Royal Palm' is more carrot shaped, broadened and swollen higher up. A Royal palm is on the National flag of Haiti
InterestRoystonea - honour of General Roy Stone (1836-1905), American army engineer in Puerto Rico. One of the species commonly called Royal Palm. Roystonea regia, however. is a similar but taller species of 'Royal Palm' more widely cultivated in the world. The genus is from Central America and the Caribbean, 12 species, with intermeduiates. The trunks give out an aqueous sound when slapped. R. olearacea has lealfets in two ranks, in other species e.g. R. regia, in 4, with every 2nd or 3rd leaflet on each side points up and droops down again, making the leaves more 'bushy-tailed'. The fruits is a souce of oil. In some parts of the Caribbean, especially Cuba, Roystonea leafbases are used for thatch, and the trees for timber, livestock feed, palmito (palm cabbage or heart-of-palm, the terminal bud is edible.).

While I try and figure out how to upload photos to my YOUMoz blog posts, I thought I'd point out a few areas that I'd like to improve on and see what people have to say. At the same time, I'd like to encourage other people to note down those areas that they'd like to have some help with - the idea being that other people will offer them some (hopefully) good advice.
With that said, here is a list of three things that I'd like to do better:
1) Find quality people to write for my site. One of my dreams/goals of SEM Basics is to get a variety of different people to write for the site. In particular, I would like to find people with expertise in various different aspects that go into creating a profitable online business. For example, perhaps one person who has some expertise on e-mail marketing, another on social media sites, etc. Up-to-date I haven't been so successful at this. Any ideas?
2) Create a mini-blog network. Similar to my idea of finding people to write for my site, I've also envisioned trying to create a mini-blog network of blogs that relate to different aspects of creating a successful online business. The idea is to share traffic and ideas as well as offer a broader range of content. We would reference quality, relevant posts, invite each other onto our respective blogs, etc. Again, the idea is to diversify the number of subjects that are being covered well. As of now, though, it's still just an idea.
3) Manage my time better. Running a virtual site can virtually run your life - at least that's how it is for me at times. Creating quality content alone can take a long time, not to mention getting that content online, marketing the content, etc. I'm getting better at handling it all, but better doesn't equal good (and I'd like to be good at this one).
Well, that's a start - there are other areas that I can improve on, but for now I just kind of want to get the conversation started. So, let's discuss away. What ideas do you have to offer and what problems would you like help solving?
All the best,
Moshe Morris, SEM Basics: http://www.sembasics.com
Moshe, in answer to#1, I think it is often very much a question of the "character" of the site in question.
Since you have your site in your profile, I visited it and clicked on one particular area that I have an interest in. You had ads in heatmap positions at the top, at the left and underneath and dwarfing what content there was (as well as a coding error message at the bottom of the page).
Now this is not said to criticise (everyone could make criticisms of everyone else's sites) but to illustrate the point of view of a reader who could have been a potential contributor to your site.
If you want people to even be interested in contributions, then you have to appeal to what they want. Before I even got there you had turned me off with the monetisation and with the error. (Why should my content make money for you, and why should I co-operate with you when you have visible errors on your site?)
In general, I have never understood why people use advertising, especially banner ads and text ads, on sites whose purpose is something else. If you have confidence in what you are selling (in this case, your expertise), then advertising is unnecessary.
It is distracting and, what is more, it tells me that you need the money, which is not a good message to a potential client.
Hello Stever,
Thanks for your response. I agree that the ads get in the way - particularly with the smaller posts where they are literally surrounded by ads. In fact, I've just removed the ads at the bottom and plan to once again rework the ads as a whole to try and make it more user friendly.
I would like to get rid of the ad next to the content, but it converts much better than any other ad placement. It seems, though, that I have to consider sacrificing the side ad in order to attract partners (as I think you are right on about the ads disuading many people).
However, here is my problem, though - the goal of my site is to teach people search engine marketing for free (the free part is an integral part of my goal - I don't want to switch to a paid membership if possible). I therefore need some other means of generating revenue with my site - thus the ads. [Btw, I am not using the sites to attract clients - my brother gets the consulting jobs (I do research and education, my brother does practical application). In other words, I'm not trying to demonstrate my expertise in order to get clients - rather I'm trying to educate people on how to market their sites online.]
I guess a new question, then, is how can one create a web-site which provides quality contnet for free without having ads on the site. I'm open to all ideas, thoughts and constructive criticisms.
As to the error - thanks for pointing it out - I didn't notice it (given that it's at the bottom of the page, I guess) - I'm looking into it right now.
Thanks for your comments, they are much appreciated!
Moshe I think with #1 there are a few approaches. One thing you could always do is hire someone to write some posts. I'm guessing you were wanting to have some other posts without spending though.
Think about why you write here. I'm guessing it's because posting here is in part a way to get your message across to a different audience than the one that routinely visits your blog. If you can offer the same thing to others you could probably get them to write for you.
You might also try an exchange of guest blogging. A you write for me and I write for you kind of thing.It might also be a way to accomplish #2 above if you can start getting a few people to exchange posts with each other.
With #3 I hear you and wish I could figure out how to create a 36 hour day. Of course shortly after the 36 hour day becomes the norm I'll want to work on creating the 48 hour day.
Van Gogh,
Thanks for your ideas - they are good ones.
What I'm also wondering, though, is more of how do you do the networking online to find people to guest blog with, exchange posts with, etc.? That is my hard part - finding and approaching people. i also imagine that other people have difficulty with that also. In other words, how do I turn these great ideas into reality?
All the best,
Glad to help.
A lot of networking online comes down to participating. We're doing it right now by having a conversation here. Forums can be a great way to network too.
I post to a few webmaster/seo and business related forums and by continuing to participate in the discussion I've made some friends online. Once you get to know people after a time it's much easier to approach them.
Awhile ago after noticing the lack of comments on my blog I approached a few people I met in forums who'd blogs were also lacking in comments and offered an exchange where we're each comment on the other's blog. It didn't take too long before each of us was getting other's to comment as well.
One of those people later suggested to me that we exchange guest posts and we tried it for a time. It might be hard to approach someone first for the guest post, but you can start with a smaller request and build the relationship.
Keep looking for other blogs that are on similar topics, but perhaps offer a somewhat different viewpoint or maybe write about sub topics within your overall topic. Also look for people who seem to be in similar situations with their blog as you are with yours as far as traffic and readers.
I think it's also important to keep working on your own blog. The more traffic you can attract to it the more desirable it will be for others to want to guest post.
Thanks Vangogh - I think those are some excellent ideas.
All the best,
P.S. I think I may make a YOUMoz post of all the different ideas mentioned here. I might encourage other people to write similar posts - bringing our questions out into the open allows for an exchange of ideas of the issues that relate to our real life situations something which can only be positive.
Sorry, Moshe, I was going to reply to #3 as well but forgot.
I take all my projects, from small to partial to large, and stick them in my Excel spreadsheet with its own formula.
Mine has columns for "doability" (in other words, how hard it would be to get it finished), "potential" (which is mostly profitability or strategic placement) and "speed" (which is how quickly from now I could get it done).
I then give each column a mark out of 10 for all of the projects.
It doesn't particularly matter what you choose as long as they are important metrics for you, and it makes it harder for you to predict the end results (so you can't consciously or unconsciously affect the end result).
When I did that the first time, I was shocked at how low some favourite ideas and projects scored and how high others were which I had put to one side.
And I can't leave without mentioning quadzilla's famous DIFN post (Warning: those of a tender disposition and white-hat religious fundamentalists should avoid clicking that link.)
Otherwise, you'll end up another loser that had a great idea a long time ago but never did anything about it. Dreamers don't make money. Doers make money.
Hello Stever,
Sounds interesting - I think I may give it a try:).
P.S. Re: your first comment - I made some changes to the ads and fixed the error (the error was reletively new - the result of a plugin that I added to the site which didn't work properly). If you want, take a look and let me know what you think.

The converson problem did not happen too me, since I only use dedicated 22 AR upper's. I read about the problem in a gun magazine, along with the pictures of the cracked bolt and charging handle.Originally Posted by browningautorifle
Sorry... but I can't give you a source.
Well thank you. I noticed early on that parking the kids in front of the TV seemed the easy way out and it was not that way for me. So I give them all kinds of books to look at / read. They my not understand what they are looking at(the younger one's) but they don't want to disappoint. The older boy he is hungry for anything I teach him, so knowing at 16(in today's world) how different firearms work and how to disassemble, clean, reassemble make's him very happy.
Just to be clear, the .22 Walther now has well over 5000 through it of all different types/brands and only a few of any type/brand generally had a problem. The kids are having a blast and so far the most expensive part has been feeding them, not the .22.
Those of you who don't think the .22 is "relevant", what do you think of dry fire? Have enough money (or Dept. Money) to shoot everything live and real time? Congratulations - but that's not most of us.
Subcaliber shooting should be at least as good as dry fire, and that does very well indeed. Years ago a small rifle team in South America did not have the money for full practice with live ammo, so they did a lot of dry firing. At the Olympics,, they took Silver, despite not having all "live" ammo. Sight alignment, trigger squeeze, follow through - all the same. CC
I'm reminded of the story of a friend of an instructor I had. He was an Army sergeant on their rifle team who was an Olympic shooter. On one rotation for the two years leading up to the Olympics when he was expecting to be assigned to Camp Perry, he was assigned instead to a Hawaiian base that was far from any shooting range. Nevertheless, he was determined to compete in the next Olympics. For those two years he would go home every night, go into his bedroom, and run through the entire shooting match as a dry run, including shooting a tie breaker. That was a two-hour rehearsal every night staring at a dot on the wall and envisioning his aim and the results. He arrived at the next Olympic qualifications not having fired a shot for two years. He zeroed his rifle and dived in. In competition his main opponent emerged and appeared to be superior to him. In the scoring system of the time, competitors shot a couple of extra rounds in the last round in case there was a tie. Our sergeant followed through on his rehearsals and shot his tie-breakers with the same discipline as the rest of the match. Seeing how far ahead he appeared to be, his opponent shot the tie breakers casually. In the end, the sergeant's discipline made the difference and he beat the other shooter by the strength of his tie-breaker shots. He made the Olympic team and went on to medal. All on two years of dry firing.
"It is said, 'Go not to the elves for counsel for they will say both no and yes.' "
Frodo Baggins to Gildor Inglorion, The Fellowship of the Ring
I saw a special on TV a long time ago that used basket ball as the experiment. A group of people shot hoops with a basket ball and a group practiced shooting hoops without the ball, just going through all the motions of lining up and form. The two groups were nearly equal in ability. I thought that quite interesting.
Yes dry fire is very effective, but after 15 tears you become sloppy. The simple fact is once you are older the discipline and high level of interest that young men have is hard to maintain. Adding the .22 cal rifle to the mix really does help with both motivation and to detect small errors that will adversely effect your performance with the service rifle.
i agree with browningautorifle if you do what he is saying you now have two guns in one so you can train with your ar for $15 with 550 rounds of .22 this is what i would do if i had a ar-15

A business has been hit with a fine after it admitted making safety mistakes that led to two of its employees working at height without adequate protection.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) prosecuted Fastrac Profiles, which is based in Willenhall, after learning of an incident that occurred in Bridgtown. A pair of workers had been sent to carry out tasks on the roof of a furniture store, but they soon attracted the attention of a member of the public.
It was noticed by the eagle-eyed onlooker that the men were not using any protective measures. The HSE later discovered that they had not been given the right training to allow them to work at height.
HSE inspector Alastair Choudhury said: "Falls from height are a significant cause of fatalities and serious injuries. The risks involved with work at height are entirely foreseeable and it is essential that proper planning, assessment and training is undertaken to reduce these risks.
"Those who neglect to do this ... and who don't provide a safe system of work put workers at serious risk. They are clearly failing to comply with the required standard."
Fastrac Profiles pleaded guilty to breaching Regulation 4(1) of the Work of Height Regulations 2005 was fined £5,000 for its errors. It was also told it must pay almost £3,800 in costs.
According to the HSE's own statistics, working at height remains one of the most common causes of workplace injuries and deaths in the UK each year. As such, it is imperative that businesses treat this issue with the caution it demands.
Equipping staff with all the latest safety gear and investing time and money in suitable training sessions could be the most effective way of minimising the risks.
Companies that do not follow the right guidelines and allow employees to be placed in positions where they might be the victim of a fall from height could find themselves facing a similar penalty to Fastrac Profiles.
