So Afghanistan can now fade back into the woodwork of the AmeriKan MSM!
I've about had it with the lies.
So why was it trotted out, readers?
To get the Europeans to up the troops?
And if these guys are defeated so quickly, we are we still there after seven years?
And WHY are they getting STRONGER?
"Afghan forces drive Taliban from villages; Militants seized areas this week" by M. Karim Faiez, Los Angeles Times | June 20, 2008
KABUL, Afghanistan - When the Taliban seized a string of villages outside one of Afghanistan's largest cities this week, NATO-led forces moved fast, airlifting in hundreds of Afghan and Western soldiers and sending warplanes and attack helicopters into the skies.
In fewer than 48 hours, they had driven the insurgents away.
But the brief Taliban incursion near Kandahar that Afghan authorities declared yesterday had been repelled illustrated the ease with which even a handful of militants could tie up large numbers of coalition troops and heavy weaponry to counter what NATO repeatedly described as a not particularly serious threat.
Then WHY are we STILL THERE?
Sorry, MSM, but WE KNOW YOU are FULL of AGENDA-PUSHING, WAR-PROMOTING LIES!!!!
The short-lived confrontation in the Arghandab district also showed how thoroughly the insurgents could disrupt the daily lives of villagers in a nominally secure area, and raised concerns of worrisomely flawed communication between Afghan forces and their Western allies.
Moreover, officials acknowledged that the insurgents would probably regroup elsewhere in the area and remain a threat, with the warm summer months traditionally a time when Taliban fighters step up attacks on Western forces.
Look at how they are REVISING everything that has been happening the last few days -- never mind the whole time.
Ummm, WHO INVADED the PLACE, causing ALL THESE REFUGEES!!!
Good Lord, readers, these lies are OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!!
The Defense Ministry said more than 56 Taliban fighters were killed during the 24 hours beginning Wednesday morning. Kandahar's governor put the total of killed and injured insurgents in the hundreds....
Now for the end-of-the-article caveats.
Yeah, good thing the U.S. NEVER KILLS CIVILIANS anywhere!!
Never mind that the Taliban are DEFENDERS!!
"The Taliban is growing and creating new alliances not because its sectarian religious practices have become popular, but because it is the only available umbrella for national liberation."

Panicked residents fled their farms as the fighting loomed. And departing militants seeded the area with mines, Afghan officials said, which could imperil the harvest of grapes, wheat, and pomegranates that was to have begun within days.
This SUCH SHIT since the papers just told me that it was the Army that encouraged the people to leave!!!
"Farmers trying to bring in the wheat harvest in this fertile valley said they had been ordered out of their fields by Afghan troops.... "
And CUI BONO, folks?
From the time the Taliban arrived in Arghandab, public statements by the coalition and Afghan authorities were somewhat out of sync, suggesting that the Afghans and their Western allies might not be fully sharing intelligence or conferring closely with one another."
Yeah, or LYING!!!!!!
Please, readers!!!!
I mean, WHAT SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!
And since I was over at the Times:
"Afghan and NATO officials said. NATO planes and helicopters supported their advance.... On Wednesday, helicopters flying over Arghandab Valley could be seen firing rockets at Taliban positions, suggesting that the militants had moved quite close to the district center....
Some officials suggested that the reports of Taliban infiltrations had been spread by the Taliban themselves, with the aim of exaggerating their strength, a tactic used by guerrilla armies throughout history....
Ha-ha-ha-ha!!!
Yeah, or ARMIES of EMPIRES, too!!
We're winning, we're winning, we're winning!!!!
Thanks, Times, I needed a laugh!
Nothing like a Zionist-controlled War Daily MINIMIZING the OPPONENT!!
The rest was all war-propaganda and bullshit, so if you want to subject yourself to that, you can go here, readers.
