"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"
"Taliban seize 7 Afghan villages; Prisoners set free prior to offensive" by Candace Rondeaux and Javed Hamdard, Washington Post | June 17, 2008
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Hundreds of Taliban fighters took control of seven villages in southern Afghanistan yesterday in what appeared to be a major offensive near the country's second-largest city, according to Afghan officials.
I thought we had already won? Bush said we libera.... sigh!
An estimated 500 Taliban fighters swept into several villages in the Argandab district, about 15 miles northwest of Kandahar, officials said. Agha Lalai Wali, an official with the government-sponsored Peace and Reconciliation Commission in Kandahar, said the fighters surged into the area Sunday evening, setting up several checkpoints in the district.
Wali said local residents had reported seeing dozens of fighters believed to be of Pakistani and Arab origin traveling in the area in pickup trucks shortly before the incursion.
The Taliban's seizure of the villages comes three days after a spectacular prison break at a Kandahar jail, during which an estimated 1,000 to 1,200 prisoners, many of them Taliban fighters, escaped.
A spokesman for the Afghan Defense Ministry, Brigadier General M. Zaher Azimi, said late yesterday evening that hundreds of Afghan Army troops were being deployed from Kabul and elsewhere around the country to the south to mount a counter-offensive following the attacks in Argandab.
Officials with the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force said Western troops were also being redeployed to support Afghan troops heading the counter-offensive....
"The Taliban are getting stronger and stronger, and after they attacked the prison, that gave them higher morale," Wali said.
Gee, as AmeriKa is getting weaker and weaker, and morale is dropping through the floor.
Hmm.
The prison break appeared to be well planned and sophisticated. A suicide bomber blew up a water tank trunk near the main gates of Saraposa Prison, and fighters used gunfire and rockets to launch a broader assault. Hundreds of inmates fled into waiting cars and vans commandeered by insurgents, according to Afghan officials in Kandahar.
The first report was that they ran into groves.
Why can't AmeriKa's MSM ever tell the truth about anything?
I'm SO TIRED of the SHIT CENSORSHIP!!!!
About 350 Taliban fighters were among those freed in the brazen raid, which killed 15 members of the Afghan National Police force, according to Afghan government and Western military officials.
Brancos said that five escaped prisoners have been detained while another 17 were killed during an operation in nearby Zabul province, to the northeast."Whatever, lying government.
Still didn't stop them from TAKING OVER TOWNS though, did ya?
So WHEN DOES the MASSIVE AIR-BOMBING START NATO?
What do you mean it NEVER STOPPED?
Maybe this will convince you we are winning. 'eh, shit eaters?
Why is that a ONE-DAY STORY, readers, and WHY is the AGENDA-PUSHING AmeriKan MSM shoveling such shi.... never mind!
