twecsitgredep

The Worst Economic Crisis Since The Great Depression.

This is twecsitgredep. If I had more time, I would tell you what I mean by that but my home is being repossessed, my bank has gone under and my plastic surgeon wants to perform liposuction on me so he can eat. So I'll save time by referring to it as the twecsitgredep.

afpak

The Afghanistan-Pakistan problem. This is term used by the U.S. to refer to the war-on-terror in Afghanistan-Pakistan border region. The general consensus amongst political pundits is that there is not a separate strategy that needs to be followed for dealing with Pakistan and for dealing with terrorism in Afghanistan but that there must be a unified approach known as the Afpak Approach.

Hillary Clinton is going to take care of Afpak fo shizzle.
