kalimot siguro ang asawa nga ulo to sa iyang bana dili ulo sa lansang. basin pud ug murag ulog lansang tawhana maong nadukdokan.

that only shows the true color of the abu sayyaf group. they are not fighting for freedom as what they are claiming. they are bandits. why can't the government, MILF and MNLF join forces to wipe out this group? it tarnishes the ideals of MILF and MNLF who are fighting for separation of mindanao.

patay addict na diay ko ani. hehehe

It's been a while since my last post here at TB. It's nice to be back.

Jimmy goes home from school and finds his lolo sitting in the sala without any pants on. So he goes up to his grandpa and says, “Lolo, do you realize that you’re not wearing any pants?” Grandpa replies, “Yes, Jimmy. I do.” Jimmy then says, “Well, why are you outside without any pants on lolo?” Grandpa looks at Jimmy and responds, “Well, Jimmy, yesterday I sat here without a shirt and I got a stiff neck…this is your grandma’s idea.”

Hitler was conquering another village during World War II when he decided to give a chance for every woman in that village to save her family. He made all the men stand naked side-to-side, each woman was then blindfolded and told to look for her husband by giving each man a blowjob. The first woman starts sucking and says: “Not mine, not mine, not mine, not mine, mine!” She was right, so she walked free. A second woman starts to suck. “Not mine, not mine, not mine, not mine, not mine, mine!” She also had it right.
Hitler was so surprised that he decided to stand in line between two local men. The third woman begins her turn and says: “Not mine, not mine, not mine, not mine, not from this village, not mine...”

Hmm, basin plano nga moderetso sa mall human sa training...

I'm still based in Cebu, working for an American company.

An eco-adventurer arrived back in Britain on Friday after driving round the world in a battered old "biotruck" rescued from a junkyard and powered by used cooking oil.

Andy Pag, 36, scavenged oil from fryers to clock up more than 18,000 miles (29,000 kilometres) travelling through 25 countries in an environmentally-friendly way.

He set off in September 2009 and his adventures included a spell banged up in an Indian jail and falling in love with journalist Christina Ammon, who joined him for the rest of the trip.

Pag, from Croydon in south London, salvaged the 22-year-old school minibus from a scrap yard and used reclaimed materials to transform it into a home on wheels.

The clapped-out vehicle's diesel engine was converted to run on waste cooking oil, stored in a 1,200-litre tank under the bed. It has a 500-watt solar panel on the roof.

Pag and Ammon made it back to the port of Dover on England's southeast tip.

"It was an experiment to see if we could recycle our way around the world. I'm as surprised as anyone that we got around the world without putting any fossil fuel in the tank," said Pag.

"The random acts of kindness have given us an overwhelming faith in how great humankind is."

The couple travelled through parts of Pakistan where militants often attack road convoys.

However, the worst moment came after Pag was arrested on suspicion of terrorism-related offences in India for illegally using a satellite telephone.

"Even when I was locked up in prison, I came across a lot of good people. We would play cricket together and read papers. By rights it was pretty unpleasant but I met some nice people," he said.

"Fortunately, I was only in prison for seven days but it cost thousands in legal fees and set us back six months waiting for it to come to court."

While driving through Indonesia, a year into his trip, he was joined by US freelancer Ammon, who wanted to write about Pag's journey.

Romance blossomed and she stayed with him for the rest of the adventure and the pair are still together.

"The breakdowns were the best bit," she said.

"That's when we met the most interesting, friendly people and had the unique sort of adventures which you can't have travelling any other way."

Pag previously drove from Britain to Timbuktu in Mali in a truck fuelled by cocoa butter extracted from waste chocolate.

MADRID (AFP) â€" A German passenger stripped naked on an Iberia flight from Madrid to Frankfurt, forcing the pilot to turn the plane around so he could be removed, the airline said Friday.

"A German passenger took all his clothes off on the plane," on Thursday night, an Iberia spokeswoman said.

"Staff on board tried to dissuade him but he became aggressive and finally locked himself in the toilet. The pilot then decided to turn around and land in Madrid."

Once on the ground, police came on board and "took him away," the spokeswoman said. She said the airline has "no idea" why the man, who was not identified, decided to do what he did.

The passenger cooperated immediately when Guardia Civil police arrived and he was not arrested, said police spokesman Angel Blanco.

The Iberia pilot filed a complaint saying the passenger refused to obey crew instructions to sit down during the flight and then started shouting. But the complaint did not mention him stripping naked.

Police said the man was not drunk and they had no explanation for his behaviour.

Utang sa Kuratong
ARANGKADA By Leo Lastimosa (The Freeman) Updated June 11, 2011 12:00 AM Comments (0) View comments

Sa iyang tinuod nga asawa nga si Alona nga iyang gibiyaan sa Iligan City, Dindo ang iyang angga, Fernando Villanueva Canillo ang tibuok niyang ngan.  Sa iyang bag-ong mga silingan sa Babag, Lapulapu City, siya si Rolando Canillo.  Isip usa sa mga haligi sa Kuratong Baleleng, ang gikaintapang mga tulisan sa Mindanao, siya si Bruno Villanueva, alyas Tambok.

Si Dindo giila sa iyang asawa ug unom ka anak nga buotan.  Hangtod nga nasakpang nakapaanak og laing babaye, si Emma Barongis, taga Ozamis City, ang pugaran sa Kuratong.  Sa iyang mga silingan sa Opon, si Rolando misteryuso apan manggihatagon.  Sa iyang kaubanan sa Kuratong, segun sa kapolisan, si Bruno takos nga pangu apan mabudhion.

* * *

Ang kadaghan sa ngan ug nawong ni Canillo wa katabang pag-alerto sa kapolisan sa iyang presensiya sa Opon.  Niabot siya uban ni Emma ug tulo nila ka gagmayng anak sa Hunyo sa niaging tuig.  Nangabang una sila og bay sa Barangay Canjolao, nga maoy nahimutangan sa base sa Naval Forces Central (Navforcen).  Pagka Septiyembre gisugdan pagtukod ang ilang bay sa Babag.  Labihang paspasa sa trabaho ug way tihik-tihik sa gasto nga nakabalhin na dayon siya pagka Enero.

Duha ka anak ni Canillo, ang 6 ug 4 anyos nga nakalingkawas sa armadong mga lalaki nga nisung sa ilang bay, iyang gipa-eskuyla sa usa ka pribadong eskuylahan sa Opon.  Si Canillo mismo namalit og mga taxi ug multicab ug videokehan.

* * *

Ang wa mabantayi sa kapolisan ug mga opisyal sa Opon, gibisto sa kuwarta nga gidudahang bawon ni Canillo sa iyang pagtago.  Dako ug luho ang iyang bay, tulo ang gate ug may tunukong alambre ang taas niyang koral.

Mga pagduda sa mga silingan napuypoy tungod sa iyang mga gasa.  Gawas sa pagpa-drive sa iyang mga sakyanan, gipanghatagan og pinutos nga taglima ka kilong bugas humay.  Bisan ang mga bugoy sa atbang nabuhong sa gisabod niyang kuwarta alang sa ilang inom ug sumsoman.

* * *

Naabtan og tuig ang Kuratong Baleleng pagtultol niya sa Opon.  Bisan ang pagtabon ni Canillo og toalya ug kawo wa makahabol sa panimhot sa kaubanan nga, segun sa kapolisan, iyang gihikawan sa bahin sa dagko nilang tulis.  Usa ka adlaw sa wa pang pagpamusil, nakatultol nang Kuratong sa ilang bay.

Kay lisod mang lungkabon ang tulo ka gates, gihuwat nila si Canillo nga mogawas.  Nga nahitabo pagka Huwebes sa kadlawon dihang nagkuyog silang Canillo ug Emma pagpangompra sa merkado.  Si Ricky Cadavero, alyas Kambal, “Uncle” sa mga anak ni Canillo, nga giila sa kapolisan nga kauban ni Canillo pagtulis sa SM Dasmariñas sa Cavite niadtong Septiyembre sa niaging tuig, maoy gitumbok nga ni-masaker sa pamilya ni Canillo pagpaningil sa iyang dakong utang nila.

CEBU, Philippines - Patay diha dayon ang usa ka sakop sa Kuratong Baleleng robbery group ug iyang kapuyo ingon man 3-anyos nga anak human gisulod sa ilang panimalay ug gipamusil diha sa sitio Tacan, barangay Babag II sa dakbayan sa Lapulapu kagahapon sa buntag.

Ang mga biktima mao si Fernando Canillo, 58, kansang tinuod pangalan mao si Bruno Villanueva alyas Tambok nga gituohang ‘keeper’ sa maong grupo kaniadto ug ang kapuyo niini nga si Emma Larano, 40, ug ilang anak nga si Fernando Canillo II nga 3-anyos kinsa pulos namatay.

Usa sa mga batang survivor ang mibutyag kagahapon sa kapolisan nga ang mihimo sa maong krimen mao ang iyang ‘uncle’ apan ang kapolisan wala mobutyag sa pangalan sa maong tawo nga gihinganlan sa mga bata nga posibleng maoy makasulbad sa maong krimen.

Ang managkapuyo gikan pa sa dakbayan sa Ozamis ug mag-usa palang ka tuig nga nagpuyo sa maong dapit. Apan base sa report giingong nagpunay lang og balhin-balhin og pinuy-anan ang maong pamilya gikan sa Ozamis ug sa Manila.

Samaran usab si Ricric Larano, igsuon ni Emma ug ang mga anak ni Canillo sa unang asawa nga nagpangidaron og 4 ug 6-anyos nga batang lalaki.

20 ka basiyo

Base sa pasiunang imbestigasyon sa kapolisan sa dakbayan sa Lapulapu uban usab ni Lapulapu City Police Office Director P/SSupt. Anthony Obenza nasayran nga mga alas 6:35 kagahapon sa buntag pipila ka mga residente sa maong dapit ang nakadungog og butobuto sa armas.

Nadiskobrehan nalang nila nga nagbuy-od na ang mga patay’ng lawas nila ni Fernando, Emma ug sa 3-anyos nga bata.

Samtang dali usab nga gidala sa tambalanan si Ricric Larano sa tambalanan, samtang nakadagan usab sa gawas ang 4 ug 6-anyos nga mga anak ni Villanueva.

Si PO2 Carlos Baluado sa Homicide Section sa kapolisan sa maong dakbayan miingon nga gipamusil ang mga biktima sa sulod sa ilang panimalay.

Adunay 20 ka mga kabhang sa kalibre .45 ang nahipos sa crime scene.

Giingong mao pay pag-abot sa mga biktima gikan sa merkado publiko ug sa ilang pag-abot gisugat sila sa mga kriminal nga luwan sa Toyota Vios nga awto.

Matud pa ni Baluado nga pipila sa mga silingan sa maong dapit ang nakakitang giagbayan pa sa usa sa mga lalaki si Fernando pagsulod sa ilang panimalay ug dangtan pila ka segundos boto na sa armas ang ilang nadunggan.

Human sa buto-buto sa armas nanakay sa usa ka awto dayong pahilayo sa maong dapit ang mga lalaki.

Way trabaho

Nasuta usab sa kapolisan nga walay trabaho si Canillo apan daghan kini og kabtangan ug giingon usab nga nalambigit kini sa financing sa mga sakyanan, natingala karon ang kapolisan nga nakaangkon kini og dakong balay nga gibanabanang mokabat og minilyon ka pesos.

Niadtong bulan sa Disyembre gitukod ang balay ug Enero na mibalhin og puyo ang pamilya niini apan nahibulong silang panagsa lang kining mogawas-gawas, walay trabaho apan kanunay mohatag og pahalipay sa mga drayber ug silingan.

Nadiskubrehan usab sa kapolisan ang daghang mga titulo sa yuta nga naa sa pangalan sa namatay.

Usa sa nakitang posibleng hinungdan sa krimen mao ang tulis tungod kay giingong naabli na ang vault sa magtiayon ug wala na kini sulod ug nagtangag pa ang yawe niini.

Keeper’ sa Kuratong

Si Obenza sa interbyu sa TV Patrol Central Visayas mikompirmar nga kanhi sakop sa Kuratong Baleleng si Villanueva nga lumad nga taga Pampanga ug nalambigit na kini sa mga pagpanulis dinhi sa Cebu ug sa kaulohan.

‘Kini siya (Villanueva) involve ni siya sa tanang mga robbery dinhi sa Cebu and sa Manila,’ matud pa ni Obenza human gikompirmar sa mga kaubanan nila sa Manila ug Mindanao ang litrato sa patay’ng lawas ni Villanueva kagahapon sa hapon.

“He is a former Kuratong member and mitiwalag and joined another group and then gipangita,” dugang pang Obenza. Ang anak sa mga biktima mibutyag usab nga nagbalhin-balhin sila’g puyo sa Manila aron molikay sa ilang “uncle.

Matud pa ni Obenza gikan sa iyang sources nga nalambigit sa pagpanulis sa SM Dasmariñas sa Manila si Villanueva ug nakuhaan kini og hulagway nga nagtabon sa nawong apan ang anak niini mismo mitudlo nga ang maong tawo mao ang iyang daddy. Gidudahan usab nga apil si Villanueva sa pagtulis sa van sa MLhuillier diha sa Lapulapu duha ka higayon sa milabay’ng tuig ug karong tuiga.

Si Obenza nagkanayon nga base sa ilang impormasyon ang wala pagkatarong og bahinay sa ilang natulis ang nakaingon nga misibat si Villanueva sa grupo.

ROLLING MEADOWS, Ill. â€" Robert Adams craved an ice-cold drink after finishing his shift on a sweltering workday, but not having enough money to buy the burrito he also wanted left him with two obvious choices: Stop at the ATM, or find a bag containing more than $17,000 in cash.

"I wanted to get a large horchata, which is almost like a rice or coconut milk," Adams told the Daily Herald (Arlington Heights) for a story published Wednesday. "I would have grabbed a chorizo burrito, too, but I didn't have enough money."

That changed Monday when the Chicago-area man stood at a Chase ATM in Rolling Meadows, looked down and discovered on the sidewalk near a newspaper box a clear plastic bag containing receipts, checks and $17,021 in cash â€" mostly $20 and $100 bills bound by a rubber band.

"I see this plastic bag. It's clear plastic and it's half full of money," Adams said. "I figure this is a joke. Somebody took some napkins and made it look like money. This has to be a setup. People are going to look at me and start laughing."

Adams said he never had the urge to keep any of the money.

"It's not my money. I shouldn't take it. I don't care if you put another zero on there, I wasn't raised to take money that isn't mine," said Adams, a 54-year-old single man who lives in Arlington Heights and credits his deceased parents for teaching him right from wrong. "If I saw you drop it, I'd say, `Excuse me, sir. I think you dropped something.'"

The word "Chase" was printed on the bag, so Adams carried it inside the nearby branch.

"I walk up to the teller and say, `I think you might have left this outside,'" said Adams, figuring an employee left it behind after restocking the ATM. But employees told him the machine is filled from inside and the money didn't belong to the bank.

Adams then called police, who along with bank officials later determined the money was meant for an ATM in Midlothian and had been under the care of Loomis, an armored truck company. Rolling Meadows police took the money to the station, where it was picked up by a Loomis official.

Loomis officials said they were investigating, but have not said whether Adams will get a reward.

"I really don't know what happens with this situation," Adams said.

Onesimo Santillan, owner of the Senor Taco restaurant where Adams originally was headed to indulge his cravings, said the actions of his longtime customer don't surprise him.

"He has been coming in for years, always orders the same thing, very nice guy," Santillan said. "It's hard to find people like that, honest people."

Rolling Meadows Police Chief Dave Scanlan said Adams did good: "We all said right away that this guy deserves something â€" credit for being an Honest Abe."

KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Reuters) â€" A 5-year-old girl could face murder charges in the recent drowning of a toddler in a bathtub, police said on Thursday.

Kansas City police are waiting for a medical examiner's report on how Jermane Johnson Jr., died, but have investigated the death as a homicide, spokesman Darin Snapp said Thursday.

"I've been in law enforcement for 20 years and it's the youngest suspect I can remember," Snapp said. "It's extremely rare."

Johnson, 18 months old, was in a Kansas City house on June 3rd with other children, but the 16-year-old girl who was supposed to be looking after them fell asleep, Snapp said.

Investigators learned through interviews that a 5-year-old girl in the house got irritated at the boy, Snapp said.

"She said she got angry because he would not stop crying and she held him under the water until he stopped crying," Snapp said.

Snapp said a decision on to handle the case will be left up to prosecutors after the medical examiner's report is released.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. â€" Lightning has struck twice at the Tropicana Casino and Resort, which has lost more than $11 million to just two high-stakes gamblers since April.

Just weeks after a blackjack player beat the casino for $5.8 million, a different gambler won $5.3 million last week.

Yet despite the huge losses, the Tropicana is sticking with its new emphasis on high-stakes table games play, confident that things will eventually run it its favor.

"That's just how it goes sometimes; if you bet more, you can win more," said Tony Rodio, the Tropicana's president and CEO. "We have a strategy of offering the most aggressive and highest table games limits in the Atlantic City market and we're not going to change that. If someone wants to take the shot, we'll take the action."

Lately it's the Tropicana that's been getting taken.

In April, Bensalem, Pa., gambler Don Johnson beat the casino for $5.8 million at blackjack, part of a spectacular roll that also saw him beat Caesars Atlantic City for more than $4.2 million and the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa for $5 million. His winning story was first reported by The Press of Atlantic City.

Rodio would not identify last week's winner, citing the casino's policy to keep the identities of its players confidential. But he did say it was not Johnson.

Last Wednesday's winner hit big at the craps table, where he was betting $100,000 at a time. He also did well at blackjack and mini-baccarat, Rodio said.

The man left a $150,000 tip for dealers when he was done raking the casino; it was divided up among table games dealers on duty that night.

Billionaire investor Carl Icahn bought the Tropicana out of bankruptcy last year, and has set about trying to regain business it lost under its previous owners, an affiliate of Kentucky-based Columbia Sussex Corp. A centerpiece of that strategy is trying to make up lost ground in a hurry by allowing high-stakes bettors to take their best shot against the casino at table games.

That approach had been serving the Trop well, until Johnson and last week's gambler came into town.

Rodio said the casino has the wherewithal to withstand even multimillion-dollar setbacks like those it recently experienced, adding no layoffs or cutbacks are expected as a result.

"There have been some players that we were big winners with," he said.

Rodio said Icahn planned to call Johnson and personally invite him back to the Tropicana to play again soon.

"Mr. Icahn is personally very supportive of this strategy, and he understands that there are fluctuations with it," he said.

5. General Sir Douglas Haig, U.K.
The Commander of British forces in France during the disastrous Battle of the Somme in 1916, Haig has the distinction of overseeing the greatest single day loss of British lives in history: on the morning of July 1, 1916, 60,000 troopsâ€"20% of the entire British fighting force engagedâ€"was killed or wounded (including all but 68 men of the 801-man strong 1st Newfoundland Regiment) in an offensive that failed to gain a single one of its objectives. Haig, ever the optimist however, did not consider the enormity of the casualties inflicted all that bad and even wrote in his diary the next day “…the total casualties … cannot be considered severe in view of the numbers engaged, and the length of front attacked.” Of course, today such incompetency would result in the immediate sacking of the offending buffoon, but things were different back then. In fact, Haig would continue to oversee the British forces for the rest of the war and even was promoted to Field Marshall for his fine work. Under his auspicious leadership, some 800,000 British soldiers would ultimately die. Remarkably, Haig came home a hero after the war and is still considered to have been a competent military commander by many today (mostly by people who never served under him, one might assume). While no commander on either side during that war comes off looking good when it came to incurring casualties, what makes Haig stand out is his seeming indifference to the carnage and an unwillingness to learn the hard lessons required to fight a twentieth-century war. He had his moments of brilliance, to be sure, but by-and-large he was definitely not the right man for the job.

4. George Armstrong Custer, USA
The dashing Custer may have made a fine 1940’s-era Western hero, but in real life he was the sort of military leader enlisted men desert for. Brash, intelligent, and personally courageous, his great undoing was his indifference for the welfare of his menâ€"or their safety for that matter. (As one of the youngest Generals in the Union Army during the Civil War, his cavalry unit had the highest casualty rate of any in the Army). He was also savage when it came to dealing with the Indians, whom he would slaughter without remorse. His recklessness finally caught up with him, however, when he led his famous 7th Cavalry to disaster at Little Big Horn in June of 1876, losing almost his entire command in the course of a few hours when he attacked an Indian encampment with several thousand Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho warriors in it. Somehow, he became a legend as a result of this debacleâ€"largely through the tireless efforts of his widow, Libbie, who went on speaking tours on his behalf the rest of her lifeâ€"demonstrating the old adage that Americans tend to honor their defeats (Little Big Horn, the Alamo, Pearl Harbor, 9/11) more than their victories. While adored as a martyr by millions of Americans for generations, Custer has not fared well with historians of late, who have come to see him as the publicity-seeking, Indian hating, ambitious huckster he really was, dulling his sterling reputation considerably. Does he deserve such scorn? Ask any of the 267 men who died alongside of him (not to mention the hundreds of Native Americans he dutifully slaughtered).

3. Douglas MacArthur, USA
What? Doug MacArthur has made it onto my top ten losers list? The hero of the Pacific Theater and the mastermind behind the Inchon Landings? Impossible!

Not if you look at the record. Start with his incoherent strategy to defend all of the Philippines that ended in the disastrous surrender at Bataan in April of 1942 (the largest mass surrender of American troops in U.S. history). Follow that with an antagonistic ego that made him frequently unable to work with the Australians defending New Guinea and the ill-advised decision to invade Peleliu (a Japanese stronghold of no immediate strategic value that cost 10,000 U.S. casualties and took two months to secure). Then there is his insistence that Roosevelt invade the Philippinesâ€"despite the fact the archipelago had no real strategic valueâ€"so he could keep his promise to the Pilipino people that he “would return” (as though they cared). The operation at Leyte Gulf took up so much in terms of military assets that Doug may have single-handedly extended the war by months.

But what about Korea, you ask? Wasn’t he the mastermind behind the Inchon landing that broke the back of the North Korean Army and (almost) secured victory on the peninsula? Yes he was, but considering that Inchon was defended by only a small garrison of Korean troopsâ€"the rest being locked in battle with U.N. forces around Pusanâ€"meant that only the most incompetent commander would have failed to take it. It’s what happened later, however, where Doug shows his true nature; ignoring intelligence reports that a million Chinese troops were massing along the Korean border ready to invade, he suddenly found himself overrun by Mao’s best and brightest and was forced to retreat well past that pesky 38th parallel. Only his timely firing by Truman (probably Truman’s best decision as President) and General Ridgeway’s (his replacement) tactical sense saved Korea from becoming another Soviet satellite state. Okay, he was a decent military governor in Japan after their surrender and kept the Russians out of Japan, but beyond that, there’s not much that can be said for him, either as a general or a person. Unfair appraisal, you say? Consider that this is the man who had to pull in favors and lobby Congress to get them to award him the Congressional Medal of Honor for his inept defense of the Philippines in 1942. Talk about gall.

2. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, Mexico
This colorful character should never have donned the uniform of a Mexican General (or any uniform for that matter). Whenever he did, bad things always followed for his hapless army. Yes, he took the Alamo in 1836 (losing twice as many men as the Texans), but he lost his entire army and was captured at San Jacinto just a few weeks later in a Battle that lasted all of fifteen minutes. Still popular in Mexico (Santa Anna liked to refer to himself as the “Napoleon of the West”), after a brief exile he returned home to once more be given command of the Mexican Army and the task of pushing a small French force out of Veracruz. He lost the battle, along with a leg, which resulted in the Mexicans being forced to capitulate to the French, but he returned homeâ€"with his prosthetic cork leg in towâ€"more popular than ever. After a short stint as dictator (he was to serve in this capacity several times during the course of his illustrious career) he found himself again at the head of the Mexican Army as it was repeatedly trounced by American troops during the Mexican-American War of 1846. (It was during this war his cork leg was captured by American forces and put on display.)  Returning home to Mexico after yet another ill-fated foray as a military strategist, Santa Anna once again took over the government and spent the next few years lining his pockets before the people finally got tired of him and sent him fleeing into exile to Cuba in 1855. Clearly in Santa Anna the Mexican people had a man that was both a military and political catastrophe, yet who managed to remain popular with millions of Mexicans for years, just as he does to some degree today, demonstrating that competency is not a prerequisite for fame in some countries.

1. Adolf Hitler, Germany
Many may be surprised to see der fuehrer on a list of failed military leaders, largely because he was not a military officer. However, this is a list about failed leadersâ€"not necessarily officersâ€"which, given his role in ensuring Germany’s long awaited defeat in World War Twoâ€"makes him top on the list. While it is true that Hitler never commanded soldiers on the field, in the last three years of the war he increasingly took over day-to-day control of his armies, telling his generals where and when to attack and then refusing to allow them to retreat when defeat was inevitable. While he was content to leave the tactical details of running the armies to his generals, he set the strategic objectives, oversaw the allocation of resources, and all but drove the first tank into each battle after 1943, ensuring that no matter how well the Germans fought, they were doomed to failure. With the former World War One Corporal at the helm, allied success was practically assured. Of course, all of this was a good thing in hindsight, for it’s scary to think what the Germans might have accomplished had Hitler kept a hands-off policy and left it to his generals to figure out how best to vanquish his enemies (as he did in the first three years of the war). Additionally, this was the single biggest difference between Hitler and his nemesis, Joseph Stalin; Stalin knew he wasn’t a military strategist and let his Generals run the show. Hitler, assuming his time spent in the trenches of France in the First World War made him an expert, never figured that out, much to hisâ€"and an entire generation of Germansâ€"detriment.

http://www.toptenz.net/top-10-worst-military-leaders-in-history.php

In war, there are winners and losers. Sometimes an army is defeated because they simply faced a larger and more powerful foe. Other times they lose because of some bizarre set of circumstances no one could have foreseen, or because they were simply outwitted by a cunning adversary. Sometimes an army is even dealt a defeat because of bad weather (as happened to the Mongol fleet of Kublai Khan in 1281 AD, which was destroyed by a typhoon as it tried to cross the narrow strait between Korea and Japan.) However, there are also those battles that were lost due to the sheer incompetency of a leader, which is the source for this list.

Of course, even a good military leader can have a bad day. As such, this list is not about leaders who simply lost a battle, but those who either snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory or were classic incompetents that somehow managed to be given command of entire armies. A few are on this list because they are perceived as being far more capable than history demonstrates them to have been; in other words, besides the worst leaders, this list also contains the most overrated leaders who, while competent to a degree, do not rightly deserve the level of credit given to them by history. Finally, this is not a list of Generals only, but of menâ€"some of whom may not even have been in uniformâ€"that made the decisions that ultimately led their armies to utter catastrophe. And so, without further ado, here is my list for the top ten most incompetent, overrated, or just plain unlucky military leaders in history.

10. (Tie)  Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery, U.K.
Okay, not really a bad field commander. In fact, a pretty fair one. The only reason he’s on the list is that, like a British version of Macarthur, he too may be one of the most overrated commanders of World War II. While Monty is creditedâ€"and rightfully soâ€"for his victory at El Alamein, Egypt in October of 1942, it must be remembered he was fighting an exhausted and over-extended German Afrika Korps that lacked significant air support and was running on fumes. The British and their allies, in contrast, massively outnumbered Rommel in almost every category, making victoryâ€"pending some remarkable chain of eventsâ€"eventually inevitable. Unfortunately, unlike his predecessors, Monty choose not to follow up on his victory by pushing the Germans out of Africa immediately, waiting until May of 1943 to finally accomplish what should have been done months earlier. But Egypt wasn’t Monty’s real problem. That came later, first with the over-planned and under-executed landings in Sicily (Patton’s forces beat Monty’s British Army to Messina even though they had twice as far to go), followed by his dismal attempt to capture Caen, France on D-Day. (The city was not taken until July 18, 1944, six weeks after the initial landing.) Then there was Operation Markey Garden in September, 1944, the attempt to take three key bridges in Holland that would make a breakout into the Ruhr Valley possible. Great idea; just poorly implemented, the result being the surrender of 6,000 British paratroopers at Arnhem and  a temporary stalemate that was to last until that next spring. Monty had good intentions; it’s just that he tended to be too timid when aggressiveness was called for, and too aggressive when caution would have been more advisable.

10. (Tie) Field Marshall Erwin Rommel, Germany
This is easily my most controversial pick, and I do it with some reluctance only because of the esteem the “Desert Fox” is looked upon with today. In my defense, I do not maintain that Rommel was a bad General. In fact, considering the circumstances he had to deal withâ€"lack of supplies, harsh conditions, being perpetually outnumberedâ€"he did a remarkable job as arguably Germany’s most successfulâ€"or, at very least, most popularâ€"general. Plus, the fact that he was implicated in the plot to kill Hitlerâ€"though pretty late in the gameâ€"makes him a hero to both sides. However, in terms of actual accomplishments, the man may not quite live up to his reputation. While an aggressive and capable commander, he tended to be abrasive, intolerant, unteachable and rash to the point of foolhardiness, which might be one of the reasons he was defeated by the British in North Africa not once, but twice (the first time at the hands of British General Auchinleck, the second time by Montgomery) and finally pushed off the continent. Afterwards given the task of securing the French coastline from allied invasion (the Atlantic Wall) he oversaw the construction of a formidable barrier of bunkers and gun emplacements that prevented the allies from taking the beaches at Normandy on June 6, 1944 for about half an hour or so, thereby demonstrating the futility of depending on fixed defenses to stop invasions (a lesson the Germans should have remembered from France’s futile efforts to hold the Maginot Line in 1940). Obviously, not all of this could be laid at Rommel’s doorstep as he did have to work under the limitations imposed upon him by der fuehrer, but when one considers his almost legendary reputation, it seems he should have been able to do more to stop the allied advance in France.

9. Admiral Gunichi Mikawa, Japan
This is a case in which a successful commander enjoyed an overwhelming victory, only to almost immediately squander the priceless opportunity it afforded him. Admiral Mikawa was an up-and-coming Japanese admiral known for his intelligence and sound judgment when he assumed command of the Japanese 8th fleet at Rabaul in July of 1942. Just a month later, he was to lead this same fleet to one of Japan’s greatest naval victories of World War Two when, during the night of August 8-9, 1942, he slipped into the waters off Guadalcanal and sent four allied cruisers to the bottom in a little under one hour. In doing so, he left the Marines on Guadalcanal without sea protection and rendered the transports anchored off shore sitting ducks. However, just as complete victoryâ€"and the routing of the American forces on Guadalcanalâ€"was all but imminent, the Admiral inexplicably broke off the attack and headed for home, thereby saving the U.S. Navy from further humiliation and destruction. Had the man shown a bit more aggressiveness and sank the hapless transports, very likely the U.S. would have been forced to evacuate the Solomon Islands and the war would have been extended by months or, possibly, as long as a year. Rightfully criticized by his superiors for his timely blunder, he was given increasingly smaller and more isolated commands throughout the remainder of the war until being forcefully retired by the Japanese Navy in June of 1945, three months before the war ended. Not a bad officer, but an officer with bad timing.

8. Saddam Hussein, Iraq
People don’t normally think of the Butcher of Baghdad as a military leader (though he liked to wear uniforms), but for the twenty-four years he called the shots in Iraq, that’s exactly what he was. Like Hitler, every military operation was overseen by him personally and in great detail, though, again like Hitler, he left the day-to-day tactical operations to a group of hand-picked incompetents known more for their loyalty to him than for their battlefield prowess. Consider that during his reign, Saddam oversaw three major conflicts (the invasion of Iran and Persian Gulf I & II) all of which he lost soundly (although the Iranian conflict dragged on for 8 long years before Saddam finally sued for peace.) His inept defense of Kuwait in 1991 against U.S. and coalition forces almost cost him his entire armyâ€"not to mention his headâ€"while the follow-up war just eleven years later (the U.S. led invasion of Iraq in 2003) cost him both. Perhaps his best idea was convincing the world he had WMD in an effort to discourage an invasion, thereby encouraging the very conquest he was trying to avoid. Worst, he forgot to tell his own generals his WMDs were merely a figment of his imagination, much to their consternation as they were counting on using them to slow the American march on Baghdad. Truly it could be said that no American military commander ever had a better ally than the madman from Tikrit.

7. General George McClellan, USA
While there were a host of bad generals serving on both sides during the American Civil Warâ€"mostly on the Union side unfortunatelyâ€"the one that usually gets the most credit for dragging out the war as long as he did is Union General George McClellan. McClellan wasn’t the worst general in the Union armyâ€"that title probably belongs to men like Joe Hooker or Ambrose Burnsideâ€"but he was the most cautious which, in war, can be as dangerous as being too bold. In command of the Union Army from November, 1861 until he was dismissed by Lincoln after the bloody and inconclusive Battle of Antietam in September, 1862, McClellan was famous for his take it slow approach that resulted in interminable delays and missed opportunities to hit the rebels hard and potentially shorten the war. To his credit, some of his biographers write that McClellan was hesitant to commit to battle out of concern for the lives of his menâ€"which is admirableâ€"but missing opportunities to potentially and soundly defeat the smaller Confederate Army on several occasions may have inadvertently extended the war by years, actually resulting in an even greater loss of life than might have been experienced had he simply been more aggressive. The man’s personal contempt for Lincoln was also unwise (he once refused to see the president when he visited his home in Washington, claiming he had gone to bed and could not be disturbed) while his political ambitionsâ€"he ran against Lincoln in the 1864 presidential electionâ€"made him more of a publicity-hound than the type of quality commander the Union Army needed. Again, not a terrible generalâ€"just the wrong man for the job.

6. General Robert Georges Nivelle, France
What Douglas Haig was for the British Expeditionary Force in France during the First World War (see no. 5), Robert Nivelle was for France. A French artillery officer who took command of the French Army in December of 1916, he immediately set about doing very little but sit by and watch his men and the Huns slaughter each other on an unimaginable scale. At the Battle of Verdun (21 February to 18 December, 1916) Nivelle went through French troops like pork through a sausage factory, racking up an impressive half a million casualties before it was all over. But it was his ill-fated and poorly planned “Nivelle Offensive” in the spring of 1917 that was his undoing. Promising a quick and decisive victory over the Germans, in April of 1917 Nivelle sent over a million French soldiers against a German army half its size and got his proverbial butt kicked. By the time the French government finally pulled the plug on the thing three weeks later, over a quarter million French had been killed or wounded and the army was on the verge of wholesale mutiny. It was only his quick sacking that prevented the French soldiers from turning on their own officers and the whole allied front from collapsing, handing victory to the Germans by default. (On the other hand, had the Germans won in the summer of 1917, there would have been no Hitler and no Second World War and history would have taken a much different track. Oh well…) Unlike his British counterpart, Sir Douglas Haig, Nivelle did not return home a hero but slinked off to some outpost in Africaâ€"the French equivalent of being sent to Siberiaâ€"to finish out what little was left of his career. He died in 1924 and was buried with full military honors…and then promptly forgotten.
