the final countdown in Afghanistan as U.S. Forces and Taliban go toe to toe in the final battle royale

to prove once and for all who is truest to the ideals of Jon Bon Jovi's classic song,
'Blaze of Glory'....

Umar Moammed Katani-Opium-Poppiski a tribal leader in the dangerous eastern district has said on behalf of all Afghans that Jon Bon Jovi's only good song is the patrimony of Afghanistan and that the Afghan people 'own' this song: 'we love that song Blaze of Glory even if all the big corporations are just raping the planet stupid --- it's not just the Americans fault -- it's all that Eurotrash's fault too and we always try to gun them down in our gunfights and blow them up with our IEDs --- but it's when we take on the glorious United States of America that we don't need their psych-ops units blasting American music at us (or Brit pop -- yeech -- for that matter) coz we all pump up the volume -- chew wild fungus like the Viking Beserkers -- actually we just ingest opium from poppies and listen to Jon Bon Jovi's Blaze of Glory over and over again'.

To which Barbara Starr and Robert Gates responded: 'That's total fucking bullshit.'
