Bryce Carlisle had sold his youthful ambitions of great wealth for a comfortable living selling the looted trinkets of dying Mars. Then the package from a forgotten friend arrived, and his old lusts were awakened by the promise of unbelievable treasures in the vast wastes.Because our nation has entered “an age of post-constitutional soft tyranny” and because I have been casting about for something I could do to help restore “ constitutional republicanism and preserving the civil society from the growing authoritarianism of a federal Leviathan” I wrote this in order to garner interest within the Conservative community to coalesce around a workable plan to reclaim the Constitution and restore our Republic.While we slept the Barbarians have breached the gates. The Statists, also know as the Progressive-Left, have been chipping away at the Constitution for 100 years. Their effort has culminated in this President and his Rommel like blitzkrieg to 'fundamentally' change America. Hopefully we will find a Patton-esque leader to reverse this Obamanation. Views: 778

From Mark Bowden, the preeminent chronicler of our military and special forces, comes The Finish, a gripping account of the hunt for Osama bin Laden. With access to key sources, Bowden takes us inside the rooms where decisions were made and on the ground where the action unfolded.
After masterminding the attacks of September 11, 2001, Osama bin Laden managed to vanish. Over the next ten years, as Bowden shows, America found that its war with al Qaeda—a scattered group of individuals who were almost impossible to track—demanded an innovative approach. Step by step, Bowden describes the development of a new tactical strategy to fight this war—the fusion of intel from various agencies and on-the-ground special ops. After thousands of special forces missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, the right weapon to go after bin Laden had finally evolved. By Spring 2011, intelligence pointed to a compound in Abbottabad; it was estimated that there was a 50/50 chance that Osama was there. Bowden shows how three strategies were mooted: a drone strike, a precision bombing, or an assault by Navy SEALs. In the end, the President had to make the final decision. It was time for the finish.
