About 20 percent of NATO supply convoys in Afghanistan come under attack at one point or another during their voyages, and while it is the Taliban carrying out a good portion of those attacks, it is not always acting alone.
New reports suggest that a number of Afghan Army figures are playing a role in these ambushes, with Lt. Mohammad Wali openly discussing the matter, and admitting they he was sharing intel about the locations of convoys with the Taliban in return for a piece of the action.
“The plan is simple,” Wali explained. “When the Taliban attack the convoys we stay in our bases. If the Taliban capture something valuable then they share it with us later.” NATO commanders conceded this was a growing problem, with a large amount of intercepted communication between Afghan troops and Taliban nationwide.
This is yet another reason for distrust between the Afghan military and the occupation forces, with tensions already on the rise because of a number of killings on base resulting from arguments.
Empire USA — Paradise for the deceitful
The rich ruling class of two nations striving to contain a laboring-class rebellion, the danger of a good example. For if the Afghan rich nobility dictatorship were to be overthrown, the downfall of USA would fit in quite nicely in the grand scheme of things.
And this is a surprise to…. anyone? The Afghan military folks are no fools, and they know it's in everyone's best interest to be on good terms with the Taliban. Once the bulk of US forces leave, guess who is going to fill that power vacuum? Or, probably more accurately, who is in charge already although we refuse to acknowledge the facts on the ground?
This only makes perfect sense, and anyone who acts surprised at this 'revelation' really needs to wake up- and fast.
It is a win-win for US MIC, Afghan Taliban, Karzai's military. The losers are US taxpayers and Afghan civilians in this perpetual war for perpetual profit.
There ya go. As NATO forges it own evil alliances so does the resistance. The Russians must be laughing out loud watching all of this unfold. They too reached that point and the wrath of hell of unleashed upon them. NATO is about to find out the same. Afghanistan will have the be able to claim with pride that they brought down the entire West together, at once.
