State media says rebels forced out of areas near Aleppo airport as the UN chooses a new UN-Arab League envoy to Syria. Syrian forces reportedly battled rebels near the airport in war-battered Aleppo while fierce fighting was reported in Damascus, a day after the United Nations called time on its observer mission. Syria’s official SANA news agency said on Friday that “armed terrorist groups” – the regime’s phrase for rebels – had been pushed out from areas on both sides of the airport, which is located about 15km southeast of Aleppo’s historical centre.

Marines in Afghanistan should expect more attacks like the two last week in which six troops were shot and killed by Afghans thought to be allies, the Marine Corps’ top general warns in a letter distributed Tuesday to leaders across the service. But in addressing potential security gaps, deployed forces must walk a fine line between reducing risk and “driving a wedge into the relationship we have painstakingly built with our Afghan partners,” writes Gen.

Lacking Options, Romney Keeps Silent on Afghanistan — Andrew Exum, World Politics Review Over the past several weeks, a series of articles have noted the absence of any discussion of the Afghanistan War in the U.S. presidential campaign. President Barack Obama might be avoiding the subject, but for better or worse, his policy is a matter of record. By contrast, GOP candidate Mitt Romney has yet to articulate an Afghanistan policy. Of course, it shouldn’t strike anyone as curious that the Romney campaign is as reluctant to talk about Afghanistan as the Obama administration.

War-Zone Photography Restrictions Now In Place

FROM News Source http://worldnewstweets.com/2012/05/war-zone-photography-restrictions-now-in-place/

CAMP LEATHERNECK, Afghanistan — Marine commanders in Afghanistan have cracked down on war-zone photography in the wake of two international scandals this year in which U.S. troops were depicted posing with dead Taliban fighters. Rank-and-file personnel assigned to Regional Command Southwest, headquartered here in Helmand province, have been ordered to take photographs only for official purposes while outside the wire, said Maj. Gen. Charles Gurganus, head of I Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward). Recreational souvenir photographs — “happy snaps,” as Gurganus called them — should only be taken on bases in-between missions, he said.

CLICK HERE Romney’s proved at each point in his career that he is the last person who should be lecturing us on reckless spending and running up debt. Mitt Romney delivered his umpteenth “major” economic speech today, and this time, his focus is on spending and debt. But take his rhetoric with a large grain of salt, because Romney’s proved at each point in his career—from corporate buyout specialist to failed governor of Massachusetts to perpetual presidential candidate—that he is the last person who should be lecturing us on reckless spending and running up debt. In his much-touted two decades of private-sector experience , Romney made a fortune out of loading up companies with crippling debt, leading to bankruptcies, shuttered companies, huge job loss—and millions of dollars in profit for Romney and his partners. Then, when he applied what he learned in the private sector to governing, Romney ended up leaving his successor in Massachusetts with a $1 billion deficit after loading the state’s taxpayers up with debt. In his four years as governor, public debt rose by 16 percent, leaving taxpayers with the most per-capita debt in the country. Government jobs grew six times faster than private-sector jobs, state spending went up by 6.5 percent a year, and taxes and fees went up by $750 million a year. It’s no wonder Romney never talks about his record as governor. On the campaign trail today, Romney neglected a very important fact: Our current debt was created largely by Bush-era policies like the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and massive tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. As Steve Benen at MSNBC’s Maddow Blog writes , “Bush not only squandered a massive surplus, added $5 trillion to the debt, and left a $1.3 trillion deficit for Obama to deal with, he also approved policies that we’re still struggling to pay for, years after his departure. … For those who care about facts, it’s not Obama’s agenda that’s causing the budget shortfall.” And Romney’s plans would only make it worse: He’s proposing $5 trillion in tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires. He won’t specify how he’ll pay for such recklessness, but you can be certain that the middle class will foot the bill. So when it comes to controlling debt, it’s clear: Romney has zero credibility.

Time to Take Afghanistan Off the Campaign 2012 Back Burner

FROM News Source http://leftblogtweets.com/2012/04/time-to-take-afghanistan-off-the-campaign-2012-back-burner/

And especially in the wake of Sen. Jay Rockefeller publicly urging President Obama to speed up the withdrawal of U.S. troops. Maybe if the administration proposed funding a Planned Parenthood clinic in Kandahar, the war might get the place it deserves in the national conversation.

5 Taliban Detainees To Be Transferred Out Of Guantanamo Prison — MSNBC/Reuters KABUL, Afghanistan — Five Taliban detainees held at the Guantanamo Bay military prison have agreed to be transferred to Qatar, a move Afghanistan believes will boost a nascent peace process, President Hamid Karzai’s spokesman said on Saturday.
