Safe in Sangin

(1 PM – promoted by TheMomCat)

News from the Sangin District of Helmand Province in Afghanistan…

First Battalion 5th Marines have fought bitterly to secure a “safe zone” of two square kilometres (less than a square mile) around the district bazaar.

And that’s the only “safe zone” in Sangin!

You can’t see two square kilometers on this scale, but maybe if we zoom in…

Sangin2

Nah, you still can’t see our “safe zone,” so let’s zoom again!

Sanguin2.5

We’re almost there!

Sangin3

And there it is!

After ten years of war!

    Declare victory and freeze Karzai’s foreign assets.

  1. …maybe it’s time to go Fukushima, LANL, Ft. Calhoun, or that breeder reactor in Japan-land where the multi-ton vehicle went out of control and plunged into….

    Not to worry.  Trust the NRC (formerly called the AEC), take two tylenol, and call anyone who is still left in the morning!
