That Yon thing: yeah, I know

| March 28, 2012

I’ve had about twenty emails in the last hour in reference to Michael Yon’s revelation that he’s in negotiations with the Taliban for the release of Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl. Oddly enough it’s Bergdahl’s 26th birthday, by the way. It’s just strangely coincidental that the Taliban is reaching out to Yon on Bergdahl’s birthday…maybe the Taliban don’t have cake and ice cream or something and thought this would a suitable replacement.

Anyway, I’m pretty much ignoring Yon and these revelations. But I didn’t want y’all to think I’m ignoring you. But, I’ll believe Yon negotiated with the Taliban when I see the beheading video. All this time I thought he was going to be found in a closet in Thailand after an auto-asphyxiation session gone wrong. Now I have to rewrite the obituary.

If you’re bored enough to read through Yon’s facebook you will see that a week or so ago some woman asked him if he would “ask the Taliban about Bowe.” Well, in true Yon fashion he promised her he would send a message.

Yep, how interesting that on Bergdahl’s birthday it just happened that the Taliban responsed that Bergdahl is well AND invited Yon to come see for himself. Lemme guess…Yon’s gonna need money for this. Right? And then suddenly the trip will fall apart but the money won’t be returned.

What a shitbag.

Hahahahahahahaha!

So… the Taliban wants to be “in tuch” with Mikey and “If Taliban says come, (he) will come next week.”

I need a Silkwood shower.

I think that Yon’s been in Thailand so long that’s he’s going full Colonel Walter E. Kurtz.

Yon says the Taliban have honor. Pfffft. Until they take his fat, vacuous head.

like Shazaad this may be useful to both for awhile, well how’s the dirt treating Syed?

Many would consider it an honor to take his head, specifically porcine scientists.

The comments on his page from the Yon kool-aid drinkers are hilarious.

I think the key to this is to deprive the publicity whore of what he craves. First, instead of ranting people, find out who carries his work and quietly and politely ask them to stop. Then, we should just all ignore him (that means you too C.J.). No one is going to convince those who have drunk the kool-aid, and he is going to delete any negative comment on any source over which he has control. Thus, it does not do us any good anyway.

Therefore, I propose a three-month ban on all things Yon.

If this doesn’t work, we need to go to nukes!

ROS

Screw nukes, hide the Twinkies and hide all the ladybois. He’ll spontaneously combust.

Yeah I believe this.

Note to Yon, Jim Hanson is not a mullah.

CJ has been doing a very admirable job in ignoring Yon’s baiting in his recent fb posts and his last hit-piece “dispatch”.

What an obvious ploy for more paypal money.

There’s no way he’d be able to get up the mountain to see Bergdahl. The Taliban can’t exactly slingload his fat ass with a chinook, and here’s a vid of Yon trying to ride a donkey the last time he was in country.
