NATO to hand combat role to Afghans as it seeks way out of war

CHICAGO (Reuters) - NATO will hand over the lead role in combat operations to Afghan forces across the country by mid-2013, alliance leaders said on Sunday as they charted a path out of a war that has lost public support and strained budgets in Western nations.

A NATO summit in Chicago on Monday will formally endorse a U.S.-backed strategy for a gradual exit from Afghanistan, a move aimed at holding together an allied force scrambling to cope with France's decision to withdraw its troops early.

President Barack Obama and NATO partners want to show their war-weary voters the end is in sight in a conflict that has dragged on for more than a decade while at the same time trying to reassure Afghans that they will not be abandoned.

"There will be no rush for the exits," NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said as the summit got under way.

He sought to put up a show of unity even as France's new President Francois Hollande vowed to stick by his pledge to withdraw French troops by year's end, two years earlier than the alliance timetable.

NATO's plan is to shift full responsibility to Afghan forces for security across the country by the middle of next year and then withdraw most of the alliance's 130,000 combat troops by the end of 2014, Rasmussen said.

While foreign forces will continue to fight the Taliban and other militants as necessary - and it may be very necessary - the new mission for U.S. and NATO troops will assume a new focus on advising and supporting Afghan soldiers.

Looking toward the November presidential election, Obama - who once called the Afghan conflict a "war of necessity" but is now looking for an orderly way out - sought to dispel the notion that shaky allies will leave U.S. troops to carry the ball alone.

Obama warned of "hard days" ahead as he hosted the summit in his home town, Chicago, a day after major industrialized nations tackled a European debt crisis that menaces the global economy.

The shadow cast by fiscal pressures in Europe and elsewhere followed leaders from Obama's presidential retreat in Maryland to the talks on Afghanistan, an unwelcome weight on countries mindful of growing public opposition to a costly war that has failed to defeat the Taliban in nearly 11 years of fighting.

Obama made clear he expected NATO powers to formally embrace the Afghanistan transition plan, which had already been widely telegraphed by the Pentagon earlier this year.

But the Chicago talks faced undercurrents of division.

Hollande insisted he had no intention of backtracking on a campaign promise for an accelerated troop pullout, which helped him win the presidency from Nicolas Sarkozy this month. He said had reached a "common agreement" on the matter with fellow leaders and he would release details in coming weeks.

A poll in January showed 84 percent of the French public backed an early troop withdrawal. France has about 3,400 troops in Afghanistan.

"French combat troops will be withdrawn from Afghanistan by the end of the year," Hollande told reporters. "In 2013, only trainers for police and officers of the Afghan army will remain and this will be done within the framework of ISAF."

Hollande's comments underscored the challenge for Obama, who has steadily narrowed his goals in Afghanistan, in plotting a more gradual withdrawal that will not open the way for a Taliban resurgence.

"We went into Afghanistan together, we want to leave Afghanistan together," German Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters.

KARZAI THANKS U.S. TAXPAYERS

Obama, meeting Afghan President Hamid Karzai on the margins of the summit, said the conference would agree on a "vision post-2014 in which we have ended our combat role, the Afghan war as we understand it is over, but our commitment to friendship and partnership with Afghanistan continues."

Standing next to Obama, Karzai thanked Americans for "your taxpayer money" and said his country looked forward to the day it is "no longer a burden" on the international community. Karzai's government has been widely criticized for rampant corruption.

Karzai's comments alluded to the political bind that Obama and other Western leaders face in underwriting a unpopular war effort and the build-up of Afghan forces during a time of budget austerity at home.

With heavy security in place for the Chicago summit, baton-swinging police clashed with anti-war protesters marching by the thousands near the summit venue. Lawyers representing the demonstrators said at least a dozen people were injured, some with head wounds from batons, and more than were arrested.

Trying to inject itself into the NATO proceedings, the Taliban urged countries fighting in Afghanistan to follow France's lead and pull their forces out in accordance with anti-war sentiment in the West.

Obama told the summit's opening session: "Just as we have sacrificed together for our common security, we will stand together united in our determination to complete this mission."

Essentially conceding Hollande was unlikely to be dissuaded, General John Allen, the U.S. commander in Afghanistan, played down the impact, saying "we have the capacity, using our current force structure, to ensure there is no degradation in security."

Careful French comments on the issue illustrated the balance NATO leaders must strike as they seek to avoid the appearance of splits with NATO partners without alienating voters who want to see a swift exit.

Alliance leaders walked a cautious line in discussions this weekend on long-term funding for the Afghan police and army, whose ability to battle the Taliban is at the core of NATO strategy for leaving Afghanistan smoothly.

The Obama administration, unwilling to be solely on the hook for the $4.1 billion annual price tag, has been seeking promises from its allies to give $1.3 billion a year for Afghan forces.

While there are few doubts allies will eventually provide support, NATO appeared unlikely to meet that goal by the end of the meeting. ID:nL1E8GIERC]

PAKISTAN'S ZARDARI IS LAST-MINUTE GUEST

A last-minute addition to the list of leaders at the carefully choreographed meeting was President Asif Ali Zardari of Pakistan, whose western tribal areas provide shelter to militants attacking Karzai's government and NATO forces.

Zardari was likely to encounter friction in interactions with NATO leaders who have been pressing Islamabad to reopen routes used to supply NATO soldiers in Afghanistan. Pakistan closed those routes in protest when U.S. aircraft killed 24 Pakistani soldiers along the Afghan border in November.

It seemed increasingly doubtful an agreement on those routes would be reached this weekend as U.S. officials had hoped. Allen told Reuters he was confident a deal would eventually be struck but "whether it's in days or weeks, I don't know."

Zardari, in talks with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, pressed for a "permanent solution" to U.S. drone strikes that have fueled tensions between the two uneasy allies.

A senior U.S. State Department official said in a statement their discussion included reopening NATO supply lines in Pakistan, taking joint action against extremists, including al-Qaeda and the Haqqani network, "supporting Afghanistan's security, stability, and efforts toward reconciliation; and of concluding negotiations for a U.S.-Pakistan Bilateral Investment Treaty."

After the first day of the summit, NATO announced a milestone in the effort to provide a pan-European missile defense system, saying it had reached "interim capability." Russia is adamantly opposed to the missile shield, seeing it as a security threat despite U.S. insistence it is meant to defend against Iranian missiles.

5 Ways to Avoid Filing for Bankruptcy - Consumer Loans BLOG ...

The B Word. We know what it is but dont like to say it, and we hope we never have to go through it. The mere thought of bankruptcy sends shivers down our spines and makes our bank accounts quiver in fear. It has its reputation as the ultimate nadir of personal finance.

Bankruptcy, according to finance guru Dave Ramsey, is often considered one of the top five life-altering negative events a person can experience, with divorce, severe illness, disability and the loss of a loved one. Ramsey says that bankruptcy leaves deep wounds both to the psyche and the credit report (Take the bankruptcy quiz: Are you headed for disaster?)

Bankruptcies in the United States were abundant last year, with more than 1.4 million chapter 7, 11, 12 and 13 filings through the end of 2011, according to data from the United States Courts. The reasons individuals or businesses file for bankruptcy varies from person to person, but one things certain?going bankrupt means that one must declare complete legal insolvency. When youre in over your head and cant pay back your debts, it may seem like theres no other alternative.

But like anything in money and life, myths abound. Going bankrupt doesnt always mean that a person was irresponsible with their money and seeks a bailout. And if youre in financial trouble, filing for Chapter 7 doesnt have to be your first, or your last choice. There are a few preventive measures and last-ditch moves you can take to avoid bankruptcy and get back in the black ? hopefully, for good.

1. Settle/negotiate your debts. Commonly, Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a liquidation?a wiping clean or erasing of your debt. It can be dangerous for individuals because it can mean relinquishing your assets or property. If youre on the brink of filing for Chapter 7, it is possible to hold onto your money and still pay back your creditors by settling your debts instead.

Debt consolidation is an arrangement with lenders to repay your debts without losing any of your assets. In this case, the person thinking of bankruptcy consolidates their debts into a single loan with one monthly payment, and at a lower interest rate.

Debt settlement is similar?like debt consolidation, it means that a person must negotiate some kind of deal with creditors. If its likely theyll get their money back, most lenders will work with you to devise a reduced payment plan schedule. This may include waiving your current payments if you agree to make larger payments down the road to make up for the delay. Reducing you debt in this way is often looked at in terms of the snowball approach, paying smaller bills first and working your way up, or the avalanche method, paying down larger debt and decreasing payments as you go.

The chance to pay down your debt keeps you in control of your finances and away from having to file for bankruptcy.

2. Sell your property. In a Chapter 7 case?total bankruptcy?your property is put up for review by a trustee, who makes the decision on what to sell or liquidate so your claim can be settled. You can avoid this altogether by being proactive and selling some of your belongings before bankruptcy becomes an option.

If youre in debt, consider what you can afford to part with. Do you have a second car, a collection of antiques, or other valuables? Many people consult with an appraiser so they can determine the value of their property. This doesnt mean you need to clear out your home, but taking to CraigsList, eBay, or a public auction may earn you some much-needed funds.

Even if this approach only raises a minimal amount of cash needed to pay off some debt, its much better than being forced to surrender your property in a bankruptcy filing.

3. Borrow money from family or friends. It takes a lot of pride-swallowing to ask a parent, sibling or trusted friend for financial help. Many personal relationships have been tainted over money, but if youre this close to going bankrupt, dont be ashamed to make the approach?just make sure that it will be worth your time and their money. Make a budget and see how much money youll need to raise to avoid bankruptcy; figure out what youve been able to afford, and youll know how much more to ask for.

Asking your family for money when youre in danger of going bankrupt involves the utmost trust. Ask yourself:Are they 100 percent on board to help you? Will their financial generosity really help to solve your problems, or will it be a Band-aid approach to delaying your pending bankruptcy? Most of all, have you considered how youll pay back not only your creditors, but your family, in time?

4. Restructure your mortgage. If youre paying off your home, another method is to restructure or refinance your mortgage. By arranging a new mortgage payment plan, you may be able to save some money to put toward paying down your debt. Its worth it if you can avoid bankruptcy or getting your home foreclosed.

There are two basic ways changing up your mortgage can aid you in averting a bankruptcy filing. First is to negotiate an agreement with your housing lender to reconfigure your mortgage under a new payment plan. See if you can devise a new or temporary payment schedule under the same terms of your original mortgage. A second approach is to refinance your mortgage altogether, which may include applying for a lower, adjustable interest rate stretched out over a longer period of time. The money you save on the front end can be useful in paying off your remaining debt and staving off the threat of bankruptcy.

5. Make real sacrifices. Sometimes the most surefire way to save money is to simply cut back. If youre teetering close to the edge of a Chapter 7, reassess your budget and get rid of unnecessary expenses. Are you in over your head on your credit cards? Can you do without eating out or going to the movies? Canceling that gym membership or cable bill, albeit temporarily, can free up a lot of money.

Distinguishing your wants and needs?say, those frequent shopping trips to the mall vs. paying your electricity?is all part of learning how to save money and reduce your debt. Start living within your means and spending less than you earn, and the savings will add up.

If you find that going it alone doesnt work, one alternative is to consult with a credit counselor or personal finance consultant to get your finances back on track. In this case, your No. 1 priority is rearranging your budget so bankruptcy isnt even an option.

Trying out some of these suggestions could go a long way in helping you avoid bankruptcy.You may find that following one, all or a combination thereof makes all the difference that you need. It will be difficult; theres no quick fix or easy solution to digging out of debt. But like starting a new diet or fitness plan, it requires discipline and a completely new lifestyle approach to the way you handle your finances, and make your money work for you, not your creditors, in the long run.

Swamp People, Hippies, Burkas, and a Gay Couple: See How the Obama Admin Is Branding America Abroad (& the LGBT Adviser Who?s Behind It!)

?

Obama's America? Well, It's how were being advertised.

Last week, President Obama made history by being the first sitting president to publicly support gay marriage. Now, his administration is the first to openly advertise homosexuality around the globe as an ?American ideal.?? The Blaze has uncovered documents that show how central gay rights themes have been to the administration?and how they are being used by the administration to?propagate?a rebranding of America and its values.

Two years ago, the Travel Promotion Act of 2010 established the Corporation for Travel Promotion, or?Brand USA.?This ?public-private entity? was tasked with ?rekindling the world?s love affair with the USA ? the place, the spirit, and the dream,? according to Brand USA?s CEO Jim Evans.?Brand USA is funded by new taxes imposed on tourists visiting the U.S. and is?governed by an 11-member board of directors appointed by Obama?s Secretary of Commerce.

Brand USA has recently come out with a series of ads, playing now in the UK, Japan and Canada, that craft a new vision of America for the world to see. ?The ads are intended to??open up some minds as to what America really is,? according to?Anne Madison,?a Brand USA spokesperson.

But the new ads, titled ?Land of Dreams,? deviate alarmingly from the patriotic baseball, apple pie and picket?fence vision of ?traditional? America. ?In fact, the only cowboy featured in the ad is?raking a beach?

Just a typical American farmer on his beach raking farm

The ads are a dizzying whirlwind of sequences and peculiar staged events, some confoundedly foreign to what might be considered an ?American experience.?For example, the ad attempts?to define America with scenes such as: a man raking a huge sand pattern alone on a beach, two?Muslim?women in burkas shopping in New York City, a Hindu festival,?a Hispanic?biker gang, a traditional?African?bongo circle under a bridge, a Cuban low-rider parade, a?pony-tailed?old man in a canoe in a swamp,?an interracial marriage ceremony,?an?Asian?grandmother riding a?Harley?through the forest, a man catching a hawk whilst?parachuting over a cliff, and?what seems to be a colorful-hippie-powder-blowing-festival (see below).

Two hot political topics are?blatantly?showcased in the ad. First, it could be mistaken as simply a ?visit New Orleans? campaign, with seemingly every other scene including a creole shot from the French Quarter. Ironic, since New Orleans was ranked one of the 10 most dangerous cities?in the world?this year,?despite being the recipient of $142 billion in engorged tax payer spending. Also, the incidence of armed robbery in New Orleans has?increased?71% since last year, a national record, and not exactly where you want to send your tourists.

New Orleans has had a 71% increase in armed robberies this year, but perfect for an interracial wedding

Second, in a prominent scene, two gay men are shown riding a?trolley?together,?one sleeping on the other?s shoulder.? And the actors featured in the?scene are a gay couple who were specifically recruited for a ?homosexual presence? in the ad. ?According to?an interview with?Outsmart Magazine,?the two actors, Edward R. Cox and?Gideon Hodge, are to be ?Face of Gay America to the World.??In the interview,?the actors gushed over the role:

?They told us this was the first-ever travel commercial for America. And they wanted gay representation in it!?

And of course, were gay friendly now

The direct connection from the administration to the?controversial?commercials has now come to light through Obama official John Connor.?Connor presently serves as Obama?s?Director of the Office of White House Liaison at the United States Department of Commerce. ?He is openly gay and was in charge of Obama?s?LGBT outreach efforts?in the northeastern United States during the 2008 Presidential campaign.

Recent documents uncovered by The Blaze show that Mr. Connor was tasked with creating and organizing?Brand USA. ?Connor is named in Brand USA?s?incorporation?papers, and hand-selected every director on their board.

It seems that the Administration?s vision of America is roundly represented in the creation and promotion of these commercials. ?Soon, ten countries will have the ads flooding their airwaves, with more?foreign marketplaces to come. ?$12.3 million dollars will be spent to promote the ads, not including production costs.

See if you agree with Brand USA, John Connor and the Obama White House?s vision of America:

Nothing says America like....Hinduism

Welcome To America Homie!

Wanna join our 100% American biker gang?

Yep, just a typical hawk-catching, parachuting American

Welcome to America, try our Low Riders

Swamp People, always a selling point.

Normal American Traditions

At least they show a partially completed World Trade Center

What most of us do in our free time.

The traditional American green blob street thing

Forget Baseball or Football or our Military...we have pride in our walk through the swamp
