Update: Obama Orders 17,000 More U.S. Troops to Afghanistan
"Triangle of attacks in Kabul targets Afghan ministries; Taliban teams kill 20, leave dozens wounded" by Javed Hamdard and Pamela Constable, Washington Post | February 12, 2009
KABUL, Afghanistan - Three closely coordinated attacks left 20 people dead and at least 54 wounded in the Afghan capital yesterday morning, after separate teams of gunmen and bombers targeted two downtown government ministries and a suburban corrections facility. The attacks created panic in the crowded city center until security forces were able to restore control after a four-hour battle.
Why am I getting a FALSE-FLAG STINK that smells like Mumbai?
All eight attackers were also killed.
Ooooh, stink!!!!!
A spokesman for the Islamic Taliban insurgency claimed responsibility for the attacks, telling the Associated Press they were in response to the poor treatment of prisoners in Afghan custody.
So claims my Zionist War Daily, anyway. Problem is, I no longer believe a word from their lying, Muslim-hating, agenda-pushing mouths!
Of course, the TORTURE TREATMENT of PRISONERS IS ACCURATE! (For more on the abominable atrocity of U.S. torture, go HERE and scroll down).
And don't forget the secret black site prisons, floating dungeons, and renditions either.
But analysts said the audacious assaults seemed timed to test the resolve of Afghan and US officials as the Obama administration is debating a new strategy for Afghanistan, and just days before the arrival of the new US special envoy, Richard C. Holbrooke....
And it worked; he sent more troops.
Although the death toll was much lower, many people here immediately compared the attack to the terrorist siege in the Indian city of Mumbai in November, when a highly trained squad entered the port city by boat and wreaked havoc for three days, attacking luxury hotels and other buildings and killing more than 170 people....
That's ALL the CONFIRMATION I NEEDED!!!
Although security forces responded to the attacks effectively, officials expressed alarm that the assailants had been able to bring weapons and explosives into the Afghan capital, which is honeycombed with blast barricades and heavily patrolled by uniformed and intelligence police.
Oh, the STINK of it ALL!!!
Police routinely stop and search vehicles at traffic circles and guard all entry points into the city of 3.5 million. Some Afghan analysts said the attack had been planned in Pakistan, but Afghan intelligence officials said all eight attackers were Afghan men in their 20s.
The PROPAGANDA MACHINE is WORKING OVERTIME!!!!
