Oh, the lies get so old.
We're winning!!!!!!
"Taliban Retreat Is Seen After an Advance Near Kandahar" by TAIMOOR SHAH
ARGHANDAB, Afghanistan, Nov. 1 — Afghan officials said on Thursday that several hundred Taliban fighters had withdrawn from a strategic area near Kandahar, southern Afghanistan’s largest city, ending two days of clashes just outside it.
Local officials showed journalists what they said were abandoned Taliban positions several miles inside the area, the Arghandab district, but blocked them from venturing alone farther into it. No gunfire was heard in the area on Thursday, and villagers said Taliban fighters withdrew on Wednesday night, telling the villagers that they had come to the area to spread their views.
Abdul Samad, 25, a farmer who remained in the area:
“They told us, ‘We are here for two days. We are not here to fight; we are here to preach. To make the people aware to not help the infidels and their cronies.’”
Oh, so we killed INNOCENTS then -- including CHILDREN!!!!
Nice fucking going, NATO!
Afghan officials said 50 Taliban fighters had been killed in the clashes and described the Taliban withdrawal as a major government victory.
All INNOCENTS or all LIES then!
Assadullah Khalid, the governor of Kandahar Province, who led the tour: “They have received heavy casualties, faced humiliation, and they are gone."
The clashes with Afghan and NATO forces took place 15 miles north of the city. It was the closest the Taliban had come to Kandahar since 2001. Fearing a major battle, thousands of villagers fled.
I also heard they were right outside Kabul, but that news just goes away!
The advance occurred two weeks after a local pro-government leader died of a heart attack. The leader, Mullah Naqibullah, had prevented the Taliban from entering the Arghandab area since 2001 and had survived repeated assassination attempts.
Afghan elders who spoke on the condition of anonymity, fearing retribution, said they believed that the Taliban had moved into the area to test whether elements of Mr. Naqibullah’s tribe, the Alokozai, would support them. The vast majority of residents fled the area, they said, indicating that the Taliban enjoyed little popular support.
But somehow they keep making gains and taking ground -- and then we win when we allegedly drive them back.
Reader, the MSM has told SO MANY LIES about Afghanistan, I simply DO NOT BELIEVE a WORD THEY SAY, anymore!
Abdullah Jan, a villager who remained in the area, said many of the Taliban appeared to be 18 to 20 years old. Some covered their faces with scarves, he said, a sign that “they were not Afghans.” He praised Afghan and NATO forces for not bombarding the area and killing civilians.
Mr. Jan: “They didn’t use air power; all operations were infantry.”
Well, Thank God for small favors!
We didn't air bomb them, yaaaay!!
That still doesn't change the military's 75 air raids a day, and the five-fold increase in air bombings, though, does it?
Earlier this week, the Taliban seized two districts in a remote part of western Afghanistan, in the Farah Province, Afghan officials said on Thursday. The Taliban fighters forced the local police to abandon their posts and burned at least one police station.
And my shit MSM never said a word!!!!
Yeah, that is losing support among the people, I must say!
But, but, but... my War Daily MSM told me that WE ARE WINNING?!?!
WTF?!?!
Local government officials said 16 police officers and 11 pro-government militia members died in the attacks."
PRO-GOVERNMENT MILITIA?
Like CONTRACTORS?
HOLY SHIT, we don't know WHO we are killing in Afghanistan, do we?
Only militants and insurgents and terrorists and "Al-CIA-Duhs," right?
You did notice that the Times didn't mention the deaths of the children, right?
