Three Afghan military officers are reported missing from Camp Edwards on
Cape Cod. They were last seen at the Hyannis shopping mall Saturday
evening. They were taking part in a joint training exercise at the base
since September 11th.

Police and military are conducting a search. "No immediate threat" to
the public, according to officials as they were extensively vetted
before being allowed to participate in the exercise.

No panic or jumping to conclusions in the area but it's a bit strange
that they haven't shown up anywhere yet. All things are possible
including them becoming victims of foul play.

Camp Edwards is about five or six miles from Kingman Yacht Center where
I used to have the boats.

You'd better notify the Four Horsepeople of the Apocalypse - John
McCain, Lindsay Graham, Sarah Palin, and the Texas Republican politician
of your choice.

I used to have the boats.

Camp Edwards is where I went, in February, to practice with the 105mm howitzer in preparation for the 196th Light Infantry Brigade's deployment to Vietnam. Nearly froze my balls off.

BTW, they found the Afghans, trying to visit Canada.

Oh, thank goodness. I thought for a moment there that our nation's
security would have to be defended by the likes of you and the other
mustered out and useless old military farts on rec.boats.

Whew!

The difference being that if called upon, we would.

You, on the other hand, would high-tail it down to a local community
college and sign up for basket weaving 101.

Climbing in the superstructure in a North Atlantic storm in December
is a tad more dangerous that drowning from a beer bong in the dorm.


If those were your choices, you made the wrong choice.

He considers Hillary to have been at risk from the ' sniper fire' when
she landed in Iraq. Of course, Harry was at risk when on his 'secret'
trip to Vietnam, probably along with John Kerry.

This may actually be more troubling than they have been making out.
This is the second group of Afghans who have been missing and turned
up near the same border crossing..




And, then again, it may be less troubling than it seems.

Considering the canadian border is the main conduit for terrorists

into this country, it should attract a little attention.

That's a misconception.
not one of your Seept 11 terrorists came from Canada...they all entered the US by other means... such as student visas.
