WASHINGTON (AP) - One of the Obama administration's first major military operations in Afghanistan is under way. U.S. Marines and Afghan security forces began moving into the nation's southern Helmand province Wednesday to clear out the Taliban and secure locals from insurgent threats.

Marine Corps Brig. Gen. Larry Nicholson said the operation is the largest and fastest-moving so far in the war's newest phase.

The Pentagon says nearly 4,000 Marines and sailors and about 650 Afghan soldiers and police led the mission. U.S. Army and Marines also added air support.

British forces last week led similar missions to fight and clear out insurgents in Helmand and Kandahar provinces.

It's also a waste of time.

All thats missing now is the soundtrack "The Ride of the Valkyries" to add to this glorious offensive.

I do hope McCarthy is OK. He told me he'd be happy to re-up to fight the muzzies when Mr. Obama gave the order. I thought he was going to urge his son to do the right thing too.

May the Schwartz be with them.

Yes, but consider that all the dumbass Darwin Award candidates are experiencing such wonderful "male bonding" through these formative adventures which they will recall so fondly and vividly until the very day they finally Alzheimer out at the home.

Hat tip to Cynicom who realizes, as all of us will one day, that the draft is inevitable even if it never quite arrives.

Memo to Larry (the genius) -

NO ONE EVER HAS CONQUERED AFGHANISTAN - EVER!

LARRY DO YOU READ ME?

IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO GO NUCLEAR, YOU ARE SCREWED.

IF YOU GO NUCLEAR, YOU ARE FOREVER DAMNED TO ETERNAL PERDITION.

BE SMART, LARRY, MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE.

WITHDRAW WITH WHAT SEMBLANCE OF HONOR THAT YOU CAN MUSTER.

SIGNED, AMERICA
