Eye on Afghanistan: Why We Must Stay

You wouldn't want to let the poor spy, 'er, girl down, would you?

Let her sacrifice be in vain?

Update:
Obama Orders 17,000 More U.S. Troops to Afghanistan

Nope.


"Anthropologist's war death reverberates" by Farah Stockman, Globe Staff | February 12, 2009

.... The military's attempt to use social science to cure insurgency....

You DON'T NEED SOCIAL SCIENCE for that!

The ANSWER is DO NOT INVADE and OCCUPY OTHER NATIONS on the basis of LIES and MURDER THEIR FRIENDS and FAMILIES!!

Steve Fondacaro, a retired colonel who runs the Human Terrain Systems program, a $250 million Pentagon initiative that has dispersed six teams of researchers - with two social scientists per team - to work with military units across Afghanistan.

How do you think they paid for that, hmm?

Related: Where Did All the War Loot Go?

Paula Loyd's death - the third among the researchers - "just highlights the need for us to continue the mission," he said.

And there you have it.

But elsewhere, the attack has revived a bitter debate about whether anthropologists should ply their trade for the military. In 2007, just months after the Human Terrain program was launched, the American Anthropological Association declared that it violates the group's code of ethics....

So the little lady violated her ethics code, huh? Yup, she was a SPY -- which is why the Zionist MSM is venerating her!

Adding to the controversy has been the fate of Loyd's attacker, identified in court documents as Abdul Salam, who tried to flee on foot. Don Ayala - the leader of Loyd's Human Terrain team - knocked him down and handcuffed him. Minutes later, when Ayala learned how seriously Loyd had been hurt, he put a pistol to the man's head and fired, according to an affidavit filed in a Virginia court where Ayala pleaded guilty last Tuesday to manslaughter.

Oh, he was EXECUTED, was he? Yes, let's bring them AmeriKan democracy!

To Loyd's Army buddies, the story of death and vengeance serves as proof of the need to continue fighting until the enemy is defeated.

Then I'm not going to bleed and cry for any more U.S. troops. Getting what they deserve if they want to be there to kill over a lie.

"Immediate justice was served," Thad Santon, a self-described Army friend of Loyd's, wrote on her prayer website.

But when YOU do that HERE in AmeriKa they need to TAKE YOUR GUN AWAY!!!!

But others point to the incident as evidence that the Human Terrain program and the US military mission in Afghanistan itself have gone awry.

"Salam got murdered in his own country by foreign occupiers," Maximilian C. Forte, assistant professor of anthropology at Concordia University in Quebec, wrote on his website, Open Anthropology. "Try, just as an experiment, to see things from that angle for a moment."

Of course, the ZIONIST-CONTROLLED GLOBE DROPS THAT IDEA RIGHT AWAY!!!!!

This is how Paula Loyd's friends at Wellesley remember her:

*****************

Instead of pursuing a graduate degree in anthropology, Loyd enlisted in the Army - a rare decision for a Wellesley grad....

She was definitely a spy.

Loyd became a tank mechanic, working for four years in South Korea and at Fort Bragg, N.C. She enrolled in a master's degree program at Georgetown University, but joined the Reserves, serving with the 450th Civil Affairs Battalion. In 2002, she was thrilled when they were called to Afghanistan.

She took ANTHROPOLOGY to be a TANK MECHANIC?!

P-U, does THIS COVER STORY EVER STINK!!!!

"She was always up for a new adventure," her mother said. "And there was so much hope for the country then."

Not so much now, after the devastation and destruction of the last eight years!

In Kandahar, Loyd led a team that tried to dig wells and build roads in isolated villages. She sought to understand cultural norms, even as she defied them. She wore her blond hair tucked up in a helmet, not under a burqa, as local women do. Serving in a mostly male Army and a country dominated by men, she often stood out as a female in charge....

Yeah, let's IMPOSE OUR IMMORAL LIFESTYLES on OTHER CULTURES!!

I suppose Bloomington, Indiana would love a bunch of Pashtuns coming over here and imposing Sharia Law, right?!

When Loyd's unit went home, she stayed on in Afghanistan as a civilian, taking jobs with the International Organization for Migration and the United Nations.

This resume REEKS of SPY!

In 2004, she joined the Provincial Reconstruction Team in Zabul as a USAID worker, arriving during a terrible winter. As snow blocked roads and people died of disease, Loyd's swift acquisition of food, hats, boots, and socks to distribute among the freezing population earned her a USAID award.

Was that her NON-OFFICIAL COVER, or.... ?

And how come I NEVER READ ABOUT that GOD-AWFUL WINTER UP THERE in my Zionist-controlled War Daily??

But by 2006, the situation in Afghanistan was deteriorating. Corruption was rife, and some Afghans began to see NATO troops as occupiers rather than liberators.

We were never liberators; liberators don't invade and destroy places based on lies -- and KILL INNOCENT MEN, WOMEN, and CHILDREN along the way.

US casualties climbed, as did Afghan deaths from both insurgent attacks and US bombings and raids. NATO soldiers could not be defeated, but neither could they decisively win.

Sound familiar, Vietnam vets?

When seven contractors working for an American organization were killed in Zabul, Loyd helped ship their bodies home. That summer, she told a panel in Washington that bringing stability to Afghanistan would require a long-term commitment. "The current wisdom is 15 to 20 years," she said.

Hear that bugle call, kids? It's a DRAFT CALL!

Desperate to turn the tide in Afghanistan, the military launched the Human Terrain program in February 2007. General David Petraeus, the new commander who specialized in innovative counterinsurgency tactics, became convinced that the military needed a deeper understanding of the country, from tribal rivalries to village economics. After the first batch of anthropologists arrived in February 2007, US commanders reported that the new program had helped them reduce their combat operations by 60 percent.

Shouldn't they have though that out BEFORE INVADING? I mean, the PLANS to INVADE WERE SIGNED BY BUSH right around September 11, 2001! What a COINCIDENCE, huh?

But others were skeptical that useful research could be done in such a hostile environment, or that the population would see the scientists as noncombatants.

"This is a country where during the day they speak like they are great friends and at night they become the Taliban movement," said a European diplomat who asked not to be named. "Even if you are an expert, it's difficult."

Pfft! Yeah, the locals are a bunch of back-stabbing liars, says the European shit.

As I recall, they DID NOT ASK for an INVASION and OCCUPATION!

Afghanistan had taken a toll on Loyd. She bought a house in North Carolina and told friends she was recovering from post-traumatic stress syndrome there, according to Stefanie Johnson, a classmate from Choate and Wellesley.

"She was looking to settle down, lead a normal life," Johnson said, adding that she hoped to marry Lieutenant Colonel Frank Muggeo, a former special forces commander she had met in Afghanistan who is now in charge of the Army Marksmanship Unit at Fort Benning in Georgia.

Something all those Afghans are having trouble doing because of us.

But, last year, Loyd decided to take "one last tour," Johnson said....

She trained for four months with her research team, which included Don Alaya, a former bodyguard for Afghan president Hamid Karzai, and Clint Cooper, a Marine who had served in Iraq. The three became close friends, Fondacaro said....

Oh, this WAS A SPY TEAM!!!!!

Loyd's job was to perform rapid "ethnographic studies" for her military unit, writing brief sketches describing the local population. He insists that she was acting as a social scientist, not a soldier, and that her reports were research, not intelligence, even though none has ever been made public....

It's all in the interpretation, isn't it? SPY!

When she died, people from all walks of life traveled to her funeral, including Ayala, who was embraced by Loyd's Wellesley friends.

"It's a complicated situation - he shot a person and killed him, but for us, we felt that this person was looking out for her," said Ophelia Navarro, a former classmate. "We are hurting and grieving, and he also was hurting and grieving...."

Yeah, nothing like EXCUSING a MURDERER -- unless he's an "Islamic terrorists."

At this point in the article, I am GAGGING on the STENCH of Muslim-hating, Zionist PROPAGANDA!!!

Loyd's mourners have also had to deal with controversy over the program she served in. Some blogs that announced her death featured debates about whether she was a legitimate military target.

First of all, the Globe hasn't seemed to concerned about the "controversy" -- and then they run down the blogs (ha-ha-ha)!

"These aren't just social scientists," wrote a commenter named Eric O on Wired magazine's blog, Danger Room. "They are employed by the US military to conduct research with a goal of helping the military more effectively carry out the occupation."

SPY!

For Loyd's loved ones, such comments make her death more painful.

Well WAKE UP to the TRUTH, dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!

"We are very upset that people were using her for political gain," said Meshi, a Wellesley classmate. "They portrayed her as this really naive woman who did not know what she was doing, or used it as a way to criticize the Human Terrain program."

Hey, it was the MILITARY that was USING HER, not us ANTIWAR FOLK!!!

If you got issues, TALK to THEM!!!!!!!!!!!

But Loyd's friends and relatives don't have time to dwell on anger.

Yeah, you can never be angry out here; then you might demand that the lame-ass, mass-murdering shits running this country cease their genocidal and globalist goals of world domination!!!!!!

They are too busy trying to figure out how to carry out her last wishes. In her will, Loyd asked that a fund be set up to send Afghan girls to Wellesley.

The AGENDA being PUSHED to NO END!!!

Have you had enough of the Muslim-hating lies yet?

Loyd's mother isn't sure how to do that, but she is planning to travel to Afghanistan to figure it out. "We want to continue what she was doing," she told the mourners at Loyd's memorial. "We want to make sure her legacy stays alive."
