The Swedes Surge Into Afghanistan
Wednesday, September 30, 2009 at 2:20 pm
Don’t worry America, Sweden is with you in Afghanistan. The surge is on.
Sweden wants to send more troops to Afghanistan after an assessment by the Armed Forces concluded that the current force of 500 soldiers is too small.
The Swedish military wants instead to boost the number of troops on the ground in Afghanistan to 630 by 2011, according to Sveriges Television (SVT).
Sweden, you’ll note, isn’t even a NATO country. The increased troop commitment comes as European Union defense ministers decide that they’ll wait until after the results of the election become “known” — like they’re not now? — before considering their own increases, probably around October 5-7.

…It would have been just too damn expensive to remove all that asbestos from the Twin Towers…
As the 9/12 Tea Party looks into the events of 9/11 they have many questions concerning the Official Story.
They know not to trust the Government & Media.
Only the guilty fear inquiry.
An ill wind comes arising
Across the cities of the plain
There's no swimming in the heavy water
No singing in the acid rain
