An executive summary was released today regarding the October Taliban attack on Combat Outpost Keating, a Nuristan Province base. The attack was driven back, but not before eight Americans were killed.
But while the military’s report praised the troops “gallantry, courage and bravery” in the clash, it cast serious doubt on why the troops were put there in the first place, noting that the outpost had “no tactical or strategic value” and was virtually undefendable.
US troops abandoned the base just days later, with commanders insisting they had planned to abandon it all along. It is now clear why, the base was “a sitting duck.”
According to the report, officials wanted to close the facility as soon as they could, but commanders repeatedly delayed the closure, leaving the Americans as a target for the attack that eventually came. The incident was one of several the US military is investigating over failures by commanders.
The US Fourth Reich must be stopped and destroyed.
We Don't mourn baby-killing cowards
The war is like Viet Nam. They do not have enough troops to physically occupy an area forever, so they patrol (troll) for victims to kill.
les criminels américains se trouve en Afghanistan qui se livrent une guerre qui n'est aucunement la leur, quant aux talibans mènent une résistant acharnées avec courage, sacrifice et abnégation pour une cause juste de se libérer d'un occident terroriste en perdition pour protéger les sionistes frères des singes et des porcs s'enlisent dans le moyen orient pour les beaux yeux de la horde sioniste._
1- Is western power (US and NATO) or if you will the western “democracy” trying to depopulate the Middle East especially Iraq, Afghanistan and now Pakistan….,? how many more do they need to kill and then say that war is over..,? are they ever going to admit that what they have done has been a creation of a killing field where the nationals killing each other because of their (US and NATO) past, present and feature and still wrongful politics. off course I am not considering Black Water or as is called Ex security now a days and their involvements in creating killing momentum, or for that matter CIA’s and Etc.
The west has been killing people in Middle East since the end of WWII, Israel have done this for last 50 years, where in the history of mankind is written that people of Middle East needs to suffer and so much ..,?
2- Where in the history of mankind is written that west must have the right to kill and to destroy the middle east and its people dream in self determination.., who is given these wrights to west to be judge and be jury to condemn the people in Middle East as a terrorists‘, is the money.., power.., that west is after or is this a genetic issue with the west. I don’t think that money is the issue with west, they have plenty and if they don’t they just print more, power there is lots of power that circulates among politicians of all kind in the west which is about money and power.., perhaps is a the question of being “imperialism” but in the other hand the world has become a entity where the profits are shared among western banks and other economical institutions, so why the people of middle east cannot enjoy part of this profit by being left alone and letting them to a self sufficient, a prospers, democratic as the west is….? In the other hand if the west would have any clue about democracy and its relation to people especially the economical aspects of it they wouldn’t create wars to enjoy the war and its power.
Dont confuse "the west" with the American political "elites" and the Israeli lobby.
Which "the west" are you referring to? The only "the west" I'm aware of is the one completely controlled by bloodthirsty Zionist madmen and their puppet rulers.
I am talking about the western governments and their actions towrad people in Middle East and other part of this world, I am not saying the westerners are bad, people all over the world have the same problem as the European or the American people have and facing, sorry for missuderstanding.
Many years ago a British soldier said it best: "If any ask why we died, tell them because our fathers lied." And indeed – young men die because the truth is always the first casualty of war – aren't virtually ALL wars based on LIES?
So the boots were mere pawns in a game of 'clash of the titanic military egos'. Would this be that genius "holistic strategy" bombastically given light of day by Gen. Stanisurge McChrystal? I would remind our "boys and girls" conned into service by Empire Amerikana, fragging can be a useful tool.
The FedGov stormtroopers are made of far different stuff than the Vietnam conscript army. Ffirst amd foremost, the FedGov stormtroopers are too dense to see that their officers are blithering idiots. Second, the endless promises of bonus money, the all too real paychecks (stormtroopers are paid at rates not too far from what average civilians make, as opposed to the paltry pittance doled out to the Vietnam-era soldiers) and the base-side perks, designed to appeal to vapid people of teen-age maturity, serve to keep people who are, at the core, mercenaries content, dumb and clueless.
What the hell is wrong with you people? Do you think the freedom you have to write this sh*t was afforded to you by all those innocent folks out there being oppressed by America? America is not perfect nor almighty but we are the best thing going for supporting you and every other left wing and right wing extremist out there. Do you think Osama Bin Laden would let you say bad things about him if he were ruler of the world? NO, you would have just as big a hole in your head as I would. The reason you can be a**holes is because of those “American Stormtroopers” who continue to do bad things to bad people to keep your freedoms in tact. If you hate America so much move to the Middle East and see how far you get spewing your hate sh*t speak. And “ObamaKoolAidDrinker” I hope you lose your family in a terrorist attack you scumbag piece of “*&$#$#%*&$”
So, you like the "freedom" you get when your government goes on a senseless Zionist crusade, slaughtering and subjugating peasants in third world countries that never did anything to the U.S.? Just think how much "freedom" you'll have when your puppet rulers and their J e w i s h supremacist handlers finally start WW3.
You haven't lived 'til you've had your city/town bombed. Yessiree, there's nothing quite like the freedom of being nuclear ash floating around in the atmosphere. It simply doesn't get any better than that.
To the Proud Ameriscum:
I hope you and your family are burned off this planet like those 8 American stormtroopers got.
No doubt they are writhing in Hell right now and are waiting for you and yours.
Flag-waving scumf*ck like yourself deserve nothing less.
Your criminal Empire is the true "terrorist" on this planet.
1 million Iraqis and Afghanis genocided by your beloved American Reich won't be denied retribution.
Well, I definitely know my family and I will not survive this life, that is certain.
Your reference to "Your criminal Empire" is intriguing, are you not an American? because if you are then it is "our criminal Empire" in your terms. If your not American than ignore the rest of this post your not worthy of the words. The folks we are fighting are not as descrimate as you are and if you and I are in a room with a terrorist and a gun, you stand up and say hey buddy, I'm with you, America sucks, the only thing you are likely to get is the first bullet.
Genocided Iraqis and Afghanis are primarily the result of the bombings conducted not by Americans but the folks Americans are trying to find and kill. If anyone does not care about civilian casualties, its Al Qaeda. Subjegation is their goal, terror and fear, are the means. Good luck waving your white flag, soon to be red with your blood as these folks cut off your f*cking head for being a non-believer.
Enjoy your 1st amendment rights, there are American soldiers around the globe putting their lives at risk to ensure you don't lose that right.
To proud American: To Proud American.. Its all right to be proud as a American and be proud of your solder killed in the field, it is good to be proud and think nationalistic when the time is right, it also your right to defend America against evils like Osama Bin Laden…, in the other hand you should ask yourself this: US war in Vietnam was about Communism, War in Congo was and still is about democracy.., Korean war was about Communism, Balkan wars was about Yugoslavia and its Socialist regime.., Iraq war was about Saddam dictatorial regime, Afghanistan war is about religious fundamentalism or if you will a feudalism system…, which was the creation of Bush the senior who brought the Osama to Afghanistan giving him the land as a religious sanctuary against the Russians invasion…, it was the US foreign policy with the blessing of the European that brought the Khomeini fascist and dictatorial regime upon the Iranian people and help it to grow for last 30 years . My question to you is this: what is left for the people in East Europe, Middle East or far East to live for, because each and every time they achieve something that called democracy where they benefit from it and by that a democratically elected government there is a Coup d Etta organized by the CIA or the British and some other Europeans government to divert the peoples goal into a dictatorial regime.. Iran 1955, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Turkey and many more countries are the victims for such wrongful policy.., in the other hand: what do you suggest for people to do to become independent and prosper as what you enjoy that called democracy…?
There is a reply button!
No doubt some of the problems we are facing are a result of not only our historical foreign policy but that of the British Empire, The Dutch Empire, the French Empire of the past. Unfortunately policy of the past couple hundred years was the have's and have not's with the have's exploiting the have not's in a way as to keep then without much causing much of the problems we not face. The difference with Iraq and Afghanistan right now is that both people's know we have no desire to remain in those countries long term to exploit the people. The biggest threat these days in my opinion is big business and its exploitation of third world countries for their natural resources and emerging powers committing the same mistakes we did in the past by exploiting third world nations. Just my thoughts. Its a wicked problem that has many solutions and many ways to define the problem.
Better to try to be part of the solution than to continue to propagate the problem by attacking the solution.
Cheers
Let's see if the third time is the charm for the "Libertarian" censors of Antiwar.com
Here's the original message that has been censored twice so far:
Eight dead American stormtroopers.
That is 8 less American war criminals to murder, rape, and torture around the world.
Good bye.
And good riddance.
Mourn them not.
