1,950 Dutch Troops to Vacate Afghanistan.

1,950 Dutch Troops are being pulled out of Afghanistan, leaving the United States with another member of NATO abandoning our mission after a radical change in government: Holland voted out their almost decade long Prime Minister, Jan Peter Balkenende, after his governing coalition failed to extend the amount of time that Dutch Troops would be on the ground, which also led to his coalition government collapsing.

This is not good news.

Especially since both Canada and Poland are scheduled to withdraw all of their Troops within the next two years. Plus, the United Kingdom is drifting farther and farther from the War on Terror, while it seems only France and Germany are willing to remain on our pro-war side, despite the economic and political cost.

What now?

Three things:

1. The United States must increase our Troop levels to compensate for all of our allies leaving us in Afghanistan without support whatsoever.

2. The United States must come to realize the fact that this is our war, not Holland's, not Spain's, not NATO's, not the Afghan people's, but our War on Terrorism. It's true that Spain and the UK should care about what happens over in Afghanistan, but it's obvious they don't.

3. The United States must scrap our 2011 withdrawal/timeline NOW.

All in all, the Dutch are just doing what Europe as a whole has always done - Surrender to pure evil without thought as to the consequences.

"Save our Pubs" campaign works in England.

Andrew Griffiths was the Conservative candidate for Parliament in Burton, and according to a recent "tweet" from the United Kingdom Conservative Party twitter account, Mr.Griffiths was running on a "Save our Pubs" campaign, and he still won the election. In fact, Mr.Griffiths won with 44.5% of the vote, a 7.2% increase for the Conservative Party in Burton.

Andrew Griffiths won in a 12 year dominated Labour district, with 44.5% of the vote, due in part for running a campaign based on beer. I'm not kidding, this issue was substantial in his election, even his campaign website has Supporting the Brewing Industry number two on his issues page, I just can't believe it.



Apparently 33% of the price of every pint of beer goes towards taxation in Britain, forcing local Pubs to close on a regular basis, while punishing casual beer drinkers for the problems of hostile alcoholics. No wonder Mr.Griffiths ran and won his campaign on beer, perhaps candidates should consider a similar campaign on tobacco to win elections in America.

If John McCain was running for Prime Minister in England: With his wife has a well known Beer Distributor owner, he would have won without a fight. God Bless the voters in the Burton district and God Save the Pubs!

Hat Tip to Professor Jacobson

To be serious for a moment: Congratulations to Mr.Griffith for winning his election in Burton, for hopefully helping to elect David Cameron as Prime Minister and for helping to restore Conservatism in the United Kingdom, one Pint and one Pub at a time.
