Fifteen members of the Syrian security forces and pro-government gunmen have reportedly been killed been killed by army defectors in the same time period.<br /><br />A sense of continuing stalemate and continuing bloodshed prevailed over all the encounters on my Syrian trip. From the seaside waiters' dislike for Americans in Tartous to the suspicion of outsiders and fear of bandits among the mountain village folk, from the massive deployment of security personnel in and around the major protest centers to the increasing desperation of local activists and apolitical locals alike, everywhere the mood was one of waiting for an end to the crisis and knowing it will not come soon.<br /><br />Everyone seemed resigned to a low-level and long-term war of attrition. Those confident of Assad's political survival perceived, even if they did not confess it, that his standing was irreparably damaged. Those positive his days were numbered were unwilling to count.<br /><br />The security of anyone's declarations was in direct proportion to the insecurity of his convictions. All sides are certain they are in the endgame, and equally certain that the end will be long in coming. </i><br /><br /><a href="http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2011/11/04/highway_to_homs?page=0,4" rel="nofollow">Highway to Homs</a>desert rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369546288659566961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-79866056307517563282011-11-04T21:03:37.446-04:002011-11-04T21:03:37.446-04:00I think her wing man bob flacked out at well.I think her wing man bob flacked out at well.Deuce ☂https://www.blogger.com/profile/13472858446242700869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-67010393312519762212011-11-04T21:01:49.956-04:002011-11-04T21:01:49.956-04:00I hope she shows up again some time, after she get...I hope she shows up again some time, after she gets things sorted out.

I will be voting for him, should he get into the primaries which is not for sure. I do fear, however, that he may not appeal to those less educated or to those who see him as acting ‘superior’.

Those that bothered me were those that didn't serve in their time but had the temerity to question the next generation that oppose their current war. I was always amused that George McGovern was called a wimp. In his early 20's George McGovern flew 35 daytime bombing mission as a B-24 pilot. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for bravery under hostile fire. The B-24 had on average a crew of ten. There were fuel tanks all over the plane and it required gunners all over the ship for the browning 50 cal, two each in dorsal, the tail and ball turrets; one in each waist window and three in single mounts in the nose. Why did a bomber need all those gun? WW2 was a war of attrition. bombing missions went over in the hundreds and flew in formation. Those guns were needed initially for German fighters. later they became redundant because the Germans relied on very effective anti-aircraft "flak" batteries. In either case, the Eighth Air Force had over 135,000 air crew in combat and lost around 10,000.
