Michael Yon message from Afghan tribal leader Ajmal Khan -- Pakistani ISI, Border Police and Taliban connections to attack.
From Michael Yon's Facebook-
I posted recently that Afghan tribal leader Ajmal Khan (Aj Zazai) was ambushed apparently by Pakistani Taliban. I emailed Aj to ask more but he was in the tribal areas, I was told, and could not access his account. Just got this email from Aj. Notice the last sentence. Will ask him more next time we meet.

Dear Michael,
Pleased to hear from you. Yes, it was a very close call
and luckily I survived it. The attack took place on the 21st of May
Friday around 5:30 pm. I along with my bodyguards in four SUV were
coming from Ali Khell (FOB Herrera) to my compound that an IED went
off in two meters of my vehicle and then ambushed by RPG rockets and
heavy machine guns. The attack took place near a village (Lar
Lewanee). My driver and one accompany vehicle manged to escape from
the killing zone, but when I saw that one of my vehicle along with my
bodyguards got trapped, I stopped 200 meters in distance from the
killing zone and came back to the killing zone by foot along with my 8
bodyguards to rescue my other 4 bodyguards.
There was a rain of heavy machine guns on us, my bodyguards were
trapped in the killing zone and their vehicle was hit by an IED. I did
not have enough bullets and heavy machine guns, with a pistol and AK
47s there was not much we could do, so I called my TPF (Tribal Police
Force) commander (Amir Mohammad) and he managed to come to our rescue
in 45 minutes.
I along with my bodyguards, were under fire for 45 minutes and as soon
as my TPF commander arrived, he manged to push back the insurgents by
firing heavy machine guns and RPG at them and broke the siege and we
managed to get to safety.
The Border Police post is 10 minutes away from where we were trapped,
but the Commander of the Border Police force (Mohammad Nabi) has deep
ties with Pakistani ISI. This attack was fully facilitated by
Commander Nabi and he is there on the border to facilitated the
insurgents. Commander Nabi helps the insurgents to cross the border
and also facilitate their release when an insurgent gets caught by the
US forces.

Revelations 8:7-9 The Volcano, The Oil Spill and The Sea Battle
7. The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
8. And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;9. And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
It's never too late to accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior. All you have to do is ask him into your heart. It's the most rewarding thing that you can do in this life.
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: If any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him. Revelation 3:20 Jesus stands at the door of your heart waiting for you to invite Him in as Savior.
So taking Him as your Savior is the next step.
How?
Simple.
Talk to Him.
"Dear Jesus, forgive me all my sins and save my soul. I repent of all my sins and ask you to come into my heart and be the Lord of my life. Take control of my life, for I give myself to Thee. Thank you for hearing my prayer and saving my soul. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen."

Michael Yon calls the ball -- Menard and McChrystal must go.
Michael Yon-
When I reported in March that Brigadier General Daniel Menard is incompetent and should be fired, it caused an uproar and much irresponsible press. They called me incompetent for calling the ball where it landed. Please examine the instant replay. It's all on the record.
This just in: BG Menard is facing court martial.
I had to stand alone to make those claims and took heavy fire for it.
I stand alone saying same about General McChrystal.
This is clear as day: General Stanley McChrystal will lose this war.

SHUT IT OFF!!!
First Attempt- The robot submarines are attempting to close off the flow of oil by activating a shutoff device at the well head known as a blowout preventer.
Benton F. Baugh, who holds patents for blowout preventer parts, said the subs should be able to do the job.
"If they can't get it closed off, something really unusual happened," said Baugh, president of Radoil Inc. in Houston and a National Academy of Engineering member.
As of May 1, 2010- The subs haven't been able to do the job.
Next Idea- The company is planning to collect leaking oil on the ocean bottom by lowering a large dome to capture the oil and using pipes and hoses to pump it into a vessel on the surface, said Suttles, the BP executive. "That system has been deployed in shallower water," he said, "but it has never been deployed at 5,000 feet of water, so we have to be careful."
If that doesn't work, they will have to drill a relief well- Kenneth E. Arnold, an offshore production facility expert and another member of the engineering academy, said drilling a relief well is not an easy task.
"You have to intersect the well," he said. "Sometimes you have to drill through the steel, and that's what happened in Australia. It took them three times before they were successful."
He was referring to a blowout on the West Atlas rig in the Timor Sea last August. It wasn't until November that mud could be pumped through a relief well to shut off the deepwater spigot. The oil spill has resulted in major environmental damage along the coast of East Timor and Indonesia.
