How do the "terrorists, Taliban, insurgents, militants" whatever the jewsmedia wants to call them, benefit from killing their kin in such atrocious fashion. It's almost as if this is publicized by my Zionist War Propaganda Service because it draws attention away from unreportd U.S. atrocities!
I don't like the smell of the this story, and the fact that it is being delivered to me through a war-promoting, Muslim-hating, agenda-pushing piece of propaganda we call a "newspaper" here in AmeriKa makes me believe it even less. The Zionist media lies every day about every thing, and they should stop now.
"Afghan rebels strike Pakistan military camp; Assault shows Taliban allied across border" by Laura King, Los Angeles Times | January 12, 2009
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Hundreds of militants crossed over from Afghanistan to attack a Pakistani military outpost yesterday, officials said, in an illustration of the merging of the Taliban insurgency on the two sides of the border.
The attack pointed up the growing boldness of militants operating in the lawless tribal areas abutting Afghanistan at a time when the Pakistan government has diverted some forces to the frontier with India. While stepping up their campaign against government troops, the insurgents also employed extreme forms of cruelty to intimidate civilians in the tribal areas.
So they must have killed some "CIA-Duh" spies, huh?
Hospital authorities in Khar, the main town in the Bajaur tribal district, said over the weekend that militants had cut off the ears of five captured members of a local committee organized to keep the Taliban out of town.
Sniff, sniff....
In Mohmand, a district neighboring Bajaur, Pakistani officials said at least 40 militants and six soldiers were killed in fighting near a military camp close to the Afghan frontier. As many as 600 fighters massed for the predawn assault, attacking the outpost with rockets and mortars, according to Pakistani authorities and news reports. Most of the militants had come from Afghanistan and joined with Pakistani allies, officials said.
Hmmmmm....
The camp's defenders fought off the attackers, but clashes in the area continued for some hours, according to a military statement. In addition to the six government troops killed, seven were injured, and local tribal authorities said militants were believed to have captured at least five soldiers. Many troops abducted in battle are later beheaded by insurgents.
Keeps 'em from talking, doesn't it?
Analysts said the Mohmand fighting reflected stepped-up coordination between Taliban commanders in Afghanistan and in Pakistan and underscored the ease of movement by militants across the rugged, poorly demarcated border. The flow of fighters from sanctuaries in Pakistan's tribal areas into Afghanistan is well-documented, but instances of militants using the Afghan side of the frontier as a staging ground for an attack against Pakistani targets are rarer....
And CUI BONO?
WHO is ITCHING to OCCUPY PAKISTAN to "stop terrorists," huh?
WHO is having SUPPLY LINE PROBLEMS through the Khyber Pass?
WHO is OCCUPYING AFGHANISTAN right now?
Oh, the STINK!!!!!!!
*******************
The soldiers targeted in yesterday's assault were not regular army troops but were from the less well-armed and well-trained Frontier Corps, a paramilitary force that operates in the border zone.
Also yesterday, Vice President-elect Joe Biden promised US support for Afghanistan's struggle against terrorism, drugs, and corruption, in surprise visit to a dangerous Taliban-stronghold area of Afghanistan, the Associated Press reported....
Well, the first thing you can do, Joe, is tell the CIA to quit running the stuff!
Biden said the United States will continue with its struggle against terrorism, but also fight the drug trade and help the government tackle the corruption in its midst....
How do you "fight" things you CREATED, folks?
How much shit you gonna eat, 'murka?
"I am very interested in what becomes of this region because it affects us all," Biden said during his visit to the neighboring Kandahar province, according to a statement issued by the NATO-led force. Biden was on the second day of his trip to Afghanistan.
Well, I agree there; the MASS-MURDER and SLAUGHTER based on lies has certainly eaten out my heart -- and it continues to do so until these MASS-MURDERING ATROCITIES based on LIES ends!!!!
Biden was briefed on activities of coalition forces in the south by Dutch Major General Mart C. de Kruif, NATO's regional commander. They discussed the addition of American troops there later this year. Some 32,000 US troops already in Afghanistan serve alongside 32,000 other NATO-led and coalition troops, the highest number since the US-led invasion to oust the Taliban from power began in 2001.
So SEVEN YEARS LATER we are getting an ESCALATION in a country Bush "liberated?"
Please KISS YOUR CHILDREN GOODBYE, American parents, as the war machine sends them to kill people who never did anything to us!
American, British, Canadian, and Dutch troops have borne the brunt of the fighting in this region in the last two years, and NATO's call for other nations to join the fight have been rebuffed.
Yeah, because people recognize what unending killing in the name of empire means, and they want no part of it.
--more--"
Btw, who are the Taliban, anyway?
"Something of a catchall term for loosely affiliated insurgents without a singular command structure. Often, the Afghan government favors the phrase 'enemies of the state' (New York Times July 24, 2007)."
"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," says Pakistani historian and political commentator Tariq Ali. "As the British and the Soviets discovered to their cost in the preceding two centuries, Afghans never like being occupied."

And today, readers?
"More and more, people here look back to the era of harsh Taliban rule from 1996 to 2001, describing it as a time of security and peace."
Oh, oh, oh!!!! I'm so offended by theAmeriKan MSM and its bullshit!
Oh, one more thing:
"The U.S. government was well aware of the Taliban's reactionary program, yet it chose to back their rise to power in the mid-1990s. The creation of the Taliban was "actively encouraged by the ISI and the CIA," according to Selig Harrison, an expert on U.S. relations with Asia. "The United States encouraged Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to support the Taliban, certainly right up to their advance on Kabul," adds respected journalist Ahmed Rashid. When the Taliban took power, State Department spokesperson Glyn Davies said that he saw "nothing objectionable" in the Taliban's plans to impose strict Islamic law, and Senator Hank Brown, chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on the Near East and South Asia, welcomed the new regime: "The good part of what has happened is that one of the factions at last seems capable of developing a new government in Afghanistan." "The Taliban will probably develop like the Saudis. There will be Aramco [the consortium of oil companies that controlled Saudi oil], pipelines, an emir, no parliament and lots of Sharia law. We can live with that," said another U.S. diplomat in 1997."
Quit killing them, dammit!
