"Taliban on the run, for now; Marines’ attempt to spare civilians lets militants go" by Jason Straziuso, Associated Press | July 8, 2009

Gee, he really looks like a 'terrorist."
CAMP LEATHERNECK, Afghanistan - US Marines trapped Taliban fighters in a residential compound and persuaded the insurgents to allow women and children to leave. The troops then moved in - only to discover that the militants had slipped out, dressed in women’s burqa robes.
Do you know what a PSYOP is, 'murkn?
The fighters, who may owe their lives to the new US commander’s emphasis on limiting civilian casualties, were among hundreds of militants who have fled the offensive the Marines launched last week in southern Helmand Province. Marine officers say keeping the Taliban from returning so the Afghan government can establish a stable presence will be a bigger challenge.
“We have dislocated them while still protecting the people,’’ said Colonel Eric Mellinger, the operations officer for the Second Marine Expeditionary Brigade. “Now the key is to prevent militants from coming back in, and the way to do that is to earn their [Afghan villagers’] trust so that they don’t allow them to come back in.’’
The offensive, which began Thursday when about 4,000 Marines and sailors stormed into the Helmand River valley, seeks to cut off a major Taliban supply route. The militants bring in weapons and fighters from Pakistan and ship out opium - one of their main sources of income....
Just curious when the LIES are going to STOP!
"U.N. drug control officers said the Taliban religious militia has nearly wiped out opium production in Afghanistan -- once the world's largest producer -- since banning poppy cultivation last summer."
Marine commanders believed up to 1,000 insurgents were operating in the fertile valley. But most of them fled without a major battle, instead launching scattered but ineffective attacks.
Yeah, we are winning, right.
As a result, only one Marine has died so far in the mission, although several have been wounded. Others have collapsed from heat exhaustion after hiking for days with 50 to 100 pounds of food, water, weapons, and ammunition in temperatures approaching 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
Good for them!
Militants seemed keen to avoid an all-out fight with the better armed Marines.
On Monday, images from a Predator drone showed a dozen fighters and at least 15 to 20 civilians inside a mud-brick compound in the village of Khan Neshin, about 60 miles north of the Pakistani border. Because of the civilians, the US troops held their fire, and instead used a military translator and village elder to persuade the militants to free women and children.
Yeah, wees so nice!
Two groups - children and what appeared to be women in burqas - left the compound. When the Marines entered, they found no one. The fighters had clearly donned burqas and slipped away among the civilians, according to Marines who took part in the mission.
Damn devils!
Good thing our guys never dress undercover or in disgui.... never mind!
The Americans didn’t have female Marines with them to search the robed figures and make sure no men were among them in disguise.... For years, Helmand has proved to be one of the toughest regions to tame. Some 8,000 to 9,000 British troops have been in Helmand since 2006, but the force has been too small to control the militant-infested province about 325 miles southwest of Kabul.
Then it is TIME for us to LEAVE and STOP KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE!!!

And they are ALL INNOCENT, people, because 9/11 was an INSIDE JOB!!!!
UNITED NATIONS - Women in Afghanistan are the targets of increasing violence and other human rights abuses that President Hamid Karzai’s government is doing little to stop, the United Nations says.
“The limited space that opened up for Afghan women following the demise of the Taliban regime in 2001 is under sustained attack, not just by the Taliban themselves, but by deeply engrained cultural practices and customs,’’ UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said.
A 32-page report released yesterday described a “chronic failure at all levels of government to advance the protection of women’s rights.’’ It cited a culture of impunity for perpetrators of attacks and the government’s failure to criminalize rape or submit a report on discrimination against women that is five years overdue. The UN said violence against women is stifling economic development.
The UN recommended the government explicitly condemn violence against women and criminalize rape.--more--"
Honestly, I am TIRED of the GLOBALIST AGENDA-PUSHING and the U.N.!!!!
Btw, as a member of the most VIOLENT SOCIETY towards women ON EARTH, I don't feel qualified to comment on OTHER PEOPLE'S CUSTOMS!
