Afghanistan War + More Troops = Catastrophe (Full Video)
Sign the petition: rethinkafghanistan.com President Obama has committed 17000 more troops to Afghanistan. This decision raises serious questions about troops, costs, overall mission, and exit strategy. Historically, it has been Congress' duty to ask questions in the form of oversight hearings that challenge policymakers, examine military spending, and educate the public. After witnessing the absence of oversight regarding the Iraq war, we must insist Congress hold hearings on Afghanistan. Watch the first part from our full-length documentary that will serve as a driving force to help make oversight hearings a reality.

Empire examines the path from Iraq to Afghanistan and into Pakistan. With the Iraq operation apparently drawing to a close and a mini-surge underway in Afghanistan, people in the region are wondering what this will all mean on the ground and what will the repercussions be for the region. As locals worry that they will be caught in the crossfire or killed by drones, experts question whether the strategy is the correct one or if it is too little, too late.

Rethink Afghanistan War (Part 5): Women of Afghanistan
Digg this video: digg.com Eight years have passed since Laura Bush declared that "because of our recent military gains, women are no longer imprisoned in their homes" in Afghanistan. For eight years, that claim has been a lie. The truth is that American military escalation will not liberate the women of Afghanistan. Instead, the hardships of war take a disproportionate toll on women and their families. There are 1000 displaced families in a Kabul refugee camp, and they're suffering for lack of food and blankets. A few weeks ago, you generously gave $6000 to help and $9000 more is needed to take care of all 1000 families. Thats a donation of $15 per family to provide the relief necessary for their survival. Here's what your money will buy: * 5 kg (11 lb) ghee = $5.00 * 4 kg (8.8 lb) rice = $3.00 * 50 kg (110 lb) flour = $22.00 * A middle quality blanket = $10.00 * A middle quality tent carpet = $40.00 Donate: www.afghanwomensmission.org Learn more: rethinkafghanistan.com

When that policy consists of applying a military solution to a political problem, however, we see death, destruction, and suffering. Director Robert Greenwald witnessed the latter during his recent trip to Afghanistan--the devastating consequences of US airstrikes on thousands of innocent civilians. The footage you are about to see is poignant, heart-wrenching, and often a direct result of US foreign policy.

Rethink Afghanistan War (Part 3): Cost of War
As we pay our tax bills, it seems an appropriate time to urge everyone to Rethink Afghanistan, a war that currently costs over $2 billion a month but hasn't made us any safer. Everyone has a friend or relative who just lost a job. Do we really want to spend over $1 trillion on another war? Everyone knows someone who has lost their home. Do we really want spend our tax dollars on a war that could last a decade or more? The Obama administration has taken some smart steps to counter this economic crisis with its budget request. Do we really want to see that effort wasted by expanding military demands? Watch Pulitzer Prize-winning authors and journalists, military and foreign policy experts, leading economists, and many more explain just how much the war in Afghanistan will cost us over how many years. We must urge Congress to raise key questions about this war at once. As FireDogLake blogger Siun recently wrote, "Once again we are planning a surge with no exit plan and a continued lack of concern for the most basic protection of the civilians in the land we claim to liberate." rethinkafghanistan.com

"What are we doing in Afghanistan? This is absolutely insane ... 15 of the 19 hijackers, terrorists, killers, of 9/11 they were from Saudi Arabia. In fact there wasn't one Afghanistan citizen amongst them. We have been in this war for twice as long now as the US was in World War II, twice as long as world war II. We defeated Hitler and Tojo and Mussolini in half the time it's taken us to find Osama bin Laden ..." Michael Moore

Michael Moore Takes on Obama's Afghanistan Escalation on Larry King Live, December 2, 2009
"What are we doing in Afghanistan? This is absolutely insane ... 15 of the 19 hijackers, terrorists, killers, of 9/11 they were from Saudi Arabia. In fact there wasn't one Afghanistan citizen amongst them. We have been in this war for twice as long now as the US was in World War II, twice as long as world war II. We defeated Hitler and Tojo and Mussolini in half the time it's taken us to find Osama bin Laden ..." Michael Moore

Afghanistan: 'Graveyard of empires' - 01 Dec 09
Afghanistan: 'Graveyard of empires' - 01 Dec 09
Afghanistan has been called the 'graveyard of empires' - a land that has never been conquered by a foreign force. Russia's red army spent a decade there and returned to the Soviet Union broken and defeated. As the US sends more troops to Afghanistan, it could learn from the former Soviet Union's experience there. Al Jazeera's Neave Barker reports from Moscow on the lessons to be learned.

Combat Rescue Afghanistan CSAR Pararescue "Pedros" Full Video
Combat Rescue Afghanistan CSAR Pararescue "Pedros" Full Video
Some of my mission footage from Afghanistan of Air Force/Air National Guard Combat Rescue/Medevac operations in the Helmand Valley region. Responding on the fly via the HH-60G Pave Hawk, CSAR is an advanced and highly capable rescue system for the coalition forces fighting in Afghanistan. I wasn't able to arrange for a RED this time around, but have been able to record some decent HD footage. This was a very sobering deployment and probably my last in an "operational" capacity as I move on with my military career. I will continue to push for a dedicated high quality filming team, and a "prime time" outlet for the public to maintain it's connection with our service-members. Corresponding articles: www.afcent.af.mil www.michaelyon-online.com A nice lithograph honoring the Pedros: www.aviationgraphic.com Camera = Sony HDR-XR500 w/ Wide Angle Adapter & VholdR ContourHD Music = Weezer - The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived
