They are FIGHTING OCCUPATION and defending themselves from unending air slaughter and so much more (torture, chemical spraying, to name two others).
I'm TIRED of hearing about how "different" they are from the lying jewsmedia, and I am definitely not down with the "they hate their woman, they'd rather kill, etc" crap, too!!!
In this country -- and across the border in Pakistan -- the ANNIHILATION of a PEOPLE (ring a bell, lyin' Zionists?), the Pashtuns, is UNFORGIVEABLE!!! They are ALL INNOCENTS because 9/11 was a BLACK-BAG, INSIDE JOB!!!
Ipsofacto, no matter what you think of "Taliban" or "Al-CIA-Duh" or "militants," they NEVER DID ANYTHING TO US!!!! So why don't we just LEAVE THEM ALONE and let them live their lives, huh?
Well, after my rant here, it looks like they are doing it themselves!! The Amurkn people could take a lesson!
"Taliban attacks escalate Afghan war; 10 French troops die in ambush; US base hit" by Carlotta Gall and Sangar Rahimi, New York Times News Service | August 20, 2008
KABUL, Afghanistan - Taliban insurgents mounted their most ambitious attacks in six years of fighting in Afghanistan over the last two days, including a coordinated assault by at least 10 suicide bombers against one of the largest American military bases in the country and another by about 100 insurgents that killed 10 elite French soldiers.
Translation: Any local with a gripe about the boot of NATO imperialism is a "Taliban." Such which village did we slaughter to command such a reaction?
And when I say "we," I don't mean you and me, reader. I am ONLY SPEAKING as an AMERIKAN because that is my home and I am ASHAMED -- and SORRY for what hell my nation has brought to yours and your families. I wouldn't blame you if you never forgave us.
The attack on the French, in a district near Kabul, added to the sense of siege around the capital and was the deadliest single loss for foreign troops in a ground battle since the US-led invasion chased the Taliban from power in 2001.
That's why Karzai is down below complaining, isn't it?
Taken together, the attacks were part of a sharp escalation in fighting as insurgents have seized a window of opportunity to press their campaign this summer - taking advantage of a wavering NATO commitment, an outgoing American administration, a flailing Afghan government, and a deeply divided Pakistani government that has given the militants freer rein across the border.
And you know what, NYT? I think the peepers just BLEW WIDE OPEN and SHATTERED!!!! I mean, come on!!! 10 French occupiers dead, and an attack on an American base? HelLO!
As a result, this year is on pace to be the deadliest in the Afghan war so far, as the insurgent attacks show rising zeal and sophistication.
Translation: Western imperialists getting their butts whipped!
The insurgents are employing not only a growing number of suicide and roadside bombs but are also waging increasingly well-organized and complex operations using multiple attackers with different types of weapons, NATO officials say.
See above for translation.
A fierce battle raged through much of the night until yesterday morning, said Arsala Jamal, the governor of Khost. American helicopter strikes against the militants also struck a house in a village, killing two children, the provincial police chief, Abdul Qayum Baqizoy, said.
It doesn't sound like those "Taliban" are running away, although it does sound like the U.S. is up to the same old shit -- MURDERING PEOPLE!!
I don't care about being strident anymore, I've had it with this insanity and evil!!!!
The ambush on the French also began late Monday and continued into yesterday.
That word "ambush" is a RACIST TERM!!
They used it to describe Native American defenses in my history books at school.
Of course, FLYING MISSILES into a HOUSE and KILLING WOMEN and CHILDREN isn't an "ambush."
Hey, they could hear the chopper out there before the missiles came a whizzing in!!!! Besides, those Muslims beat their women so they are better of dead, right?
I think I want to puke.
An unusually large insurgent force attacked the French troops, who were on a reconnaissance mission in the district of Sarobi, 30 miles east of Kabul, according to a NATO statement. The French troops, part of an elite paratrooper unit, had only recently taken over from American forces in the area as part of the expanded French deployment in Afghanistan under President Nicolas Sarkozy of France.
I get tired of reading through it all: They ATTACK, we RECON!
Does that mean kicking down doors and dragging off menfolk?
No wonder they are attacking the patrol!!!!!!
In addition to the 10 French soldiers killed, 21 were wounded, the NATO statement said. It was the deadliest attack on French troops since a 1983 assault in Beirut killed 58 French paratroopers serving in a UN force.
Wow. Thank Bush for that, Frenchies.
The Taliban have seemingly made it part of their strategy to attack newly arriving forces, as well as those of NATO countries whose commitment to the war has appeared to waver, in an effort to influence public opinion in Europe.
Yeah, that damn public opinion that "wavers" in the war fight despite the NYT's best efforts here! Damn that public that just isn't bloddthirsty enough to kill.
Time to set up another 9/11 false-flagger, huh? Too bad that fooley won't fly no more!
But Sarkozy made it clear that the French would be undeterred. "My determination is intact," he said before leaving to visit his troops in Kabul. "France is committed to pursuing the struggle against terrorism, for democracy and for freedom. This is a just cause; it is an honor for France and for its army to defend it."
They told us Vietnam was noble, and that was just murder.
I'm sick of the "honorable" LIES, sir!!!!
TORTURING and KILLING PEOPLE who are COMPLETELY INNOCENT is NOT NOBLE!!!!!!!
--more--"
