Thirsty.

This is coolbert:

From the Commander Salamander Internet web site and thanks to same.

First several paragraphs copied in entirety. Prognostication of the Commander not good commensurate with the latest reports from Kabul.

"Salamander Consulting Basic Wargaming Matrix"

"When I talk 'wargame' I am not talking about something that is done with a board with a bunch of little pieces being moved around, that is a Tactical wargame. No, what I am talking about is a grey-matter wargame at the Operational and Strategic level."

"For those not in 'the guild' - 'Blue' here are the good guys, the 'Red' here are the bad guys. I'm only going to do 1 combination and 1 round. I'll define that for you; '1 combo' is how you run Blue vs. Red in the matrix you see here. You simplify Blue & Red in to two Courses of Action (COA); 1) Most Likely (defined by habit, requires least initial effort or risk by the party & assumes pliability of opponent to your will), 2) Most Dangerous (unexpected weighting of risk & action within ways & means, but not habit)."

COMMANDER SALAMANDER A PROFESSIONAL MILITARY MAN [NOT SURE IF ON ACTIVE DUTY] DESCRIBING THE BRAIN-STORMING PROCESS BY WHICH MILITARY COURSES OF ACTION AND OUTCOMES ARE EVALUATED.

Most of this article I concede with a single glance difficult for the layman or perhaps even the military professional to understand. Let the devoted reader to the blog peruse accordingly

In conclusion:

"UPDATE: right after this post went live, reports of the event at the Abbey Gate at the Kabul airport have come out. The odds of Gandamak Thirsty getting better odds weighting have increased."

Situation fluid and unclear. Grave danger. Nuff' said. Let the final outcome be not Gandamak Thirsty.
