" Almost a year after the devastating bombing of two tanker trucks hijacked by the Taliban near Kunduz in northern Afghanistan, the German military has found a way to compensate the relatives of civilian victims. During multiple discussions in recent weeks, almost all of the 102 families identified by the German armed forces, the Bundeswehr, agreed to accept a one-off payment of $5,000 (€3,800). The money will be paid into accounts with the Kabul Bank, in an attempt to stop the Taliban from seizing the money from the families. "

Note: "...in an attempt to stop the Taliban from ..." How can one interpret this? May I guess? The "Taliban" has leverage - that means the Germans better fucking pay up or else - so they are. Or else what? Pure speculation - but it doesn't matter. Leverage is leverage - and the Germans are paying up. So...are we really "beating" the Taliban? ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

"Take a closer look at the American servicemembers who have died in the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and in other related conflicts around the world. Official deaths confirmed by the Pentagon; may be different than numbers that appear in media reports due to delays in Pentagon confirmation and/or inclusion of deaths outside of Iraq and Afghanistan."

" Villagers prepare graves for the civilians killed by US Special Forces in Narang district."

Note: For the record - I don't approve of this.
The American people are told over and over again that the Afghan war is justified because of the events of September 11, 2001. The evidence available contradicts the belief that the attacks of September 11, 2001 in NYC and the Pentagon originated in Afghanistan - yet the killing continues. Attempts to engage fellow American citizens on this topic are fruitless. This war is a background buzz to the average American - and with the snow and power outages across much of the nation - for today doesn't even matter.

Australia: No more troops for Afghanistan war
Read more here.
"WASHINGTON: Australia has made it clear to the US it is not in a position to increase troop or training commitments in Afghanistan if the Obama Administration decides to add to its troop levels in response to General Stanley McChrystal's report, the Defence Minister, John Faulkner, said in Washington."
----------
I wonder if this also means no more troops for the AFPAK war.

Are troops using faulty weapons?
Insurgents...so I guess these weren't terrorists?
"When the battle in the small village of Wanat ended, nine U.S. soldiers lay dead and 27 more were wounded. A detailed study of the attack by a military historian found that weapons failed repeatedly at a "critical moment" during the firefight on July 13, 2008, putting the outnumbered American troops at risk of being overrun by nearly 200 insurgents."

"With up to 61% of Americans, according to a recent poll, convinced that things are going badly indeed in Afghanistan and an official 9.8% of Americans unemployed, Congress is set to respond. This week, it's slated to pass a $636 billion appropriations bill for the Pentagon that will include another $128 billion for our Afghan and Iraq Wars. Meanwhile, the president and his advisors are about to consider the latest plan by our Afghan War commander, General Stanley McChrystal, to gainfully employ up to 40,000 more Americans in Afghanistan."

...but will they fire on Americans?
Please don't label me as anti-military. I'm not. What I am against are wars of aggression and occupation fought for radical religious groups of any denomination, resources like our OIL from under their SOIL, or chasing boogeymen who are no longer with us. What concerns me is the willingness to use American soldiers and mercenaries on U.S. soil. See "Bill Moyers..." posting on this blog for a taste of what happened during Katrina. I hope we are not witnessing preparation for more of the same.
Please listen carefully to the willingness to complete "any" mission. Also how they will be on hand to "help out" during emergencies-what- while they are in Iraq or Afghanistan? Who are these people American soldiers need to imprison? WTF?? When did Americans become the aggressor nation of occupiers? Take a look at the link below - preparing soldiers for careers if they make it out of the meat grinders overseas - they get to come home to a job locking up fellow citizens in corporate prisons. What planet am I on?

Osama bin Boogeyman is DEAD - What is the Mission in Afghanistan?
Osama bin Laden's funeral notice*

Osama bin Laden is dead. That's spelled D-E-A-D. Deceased. Pushing daisies. Taking a dirt nap. Passed away. No longer with us. Finished. Six feet under. Dead as a doornail. Departed. Gone. So what is the mission in Afghanistan?
Perhaps (CLICK) this previous post will provide reasons you will accept I base my assertions on. By the way - if you want to argue go ahead - but without a live Osama to show me you will have one helluva' time making your case - because - he's dead. If you wish to dispute my assertion simply produce bin Boogeyman and I'll take this post down. Oh yeah - he has to be breathing. But since he's dead what is the mission in Afghanistan?
Perhaps (CLICK) this audio of David Ray Griffin will help you enter the realm of reality if you still believe the boogeyman is still alive. Dr. Griffin has just finished "Osama bin Laden Dead or Alive?" - yet another exhaustively researched book demolishing the official conspiracy theory our lying government arrogantly branded into the public mind using shock and repetition. I differ with Dr. Griffin in his pro-world-government stance while I prefer the preservation of the United States under the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Regardless - he's dissected the official fairy tale from many angles ranging from exposing fake evidence to simply pointing out contradictions in the official lie. Those pushing the official lie and those shilling to demonize 911 Truthers protest too much in light of the mountain of evidence collected by the grass-roots 911Truth citizens movement. The evidence in the 911 case does not point to a troglodyte like bin Laden but more towards a military-industrial bad-guy with access to nanotechnology. So what is the mission in Afghanistan?
Since bin Laden is dead and has been since December 13th, 2001 (or 14th) - all communications from bin Laden are either the result of lies our government fed to us via the military-industrial-corporate-controlled media or the U.S. government has some very talented clairvoyants in their employ. I suspect the former. Regardless of your own conclusion can we agree that the U.S. government WANTS WAR? If bin Laden turned up dead tomorrow are you naive enough to think our military would retreat from the over 130 nations in which they are entrenched?
Wait - hold on a minute you say ... Jack Rabbit is a crazy conspiracy theorist. Only a crackpot thinks their government conspires to construct FALSE REALITIES . But Sean (sissy) Hannity, Rush (the pill) Limbaugh, Neal (my dad was a Marine so I am too) Boortz, Laura (shrew) Ingraham, Thom (DeminwythousOK) Hartmann, Ed (Blind) Schultz, Glenn (Crybaby) Dick...somebody in the media wouldreport this? No they wouldn't because they are paid to grow mushrooms not to inform citizens.
So getting back to the reason we are in Afghanistan- if you've taken some time to look at the hyperlinks above - isn't it easier to understand current U.S. policy if one starts with the premise that capturing bin Laden is NOT the basis of the phony war on terror - that instead the war on terror is a lie marketed to the masses so wars of aggression can be expanded? Yes it is that simple. Luckily new weapons are online now to make fighting this war easy.
Drones allow the U.S. military to slaughter people across the globe without breaking a nail, or missing a soccer game. It's kinda' like running a prison camp - go to work in the morning - machinegun a few people in the morning, have lunch, then get the afternoon missile attack on the Paki wedding over before 15:30 hours so damage assessment can give the OK to go home to pick up junior from soccer - or get to the day-care in time not to pay a 10-dollar-a-minute late fee. After all - it's all about the children - American that is.
Wars of aggression are losers in the long run and very unpopular in the fatherland. For this reason mercenaries are used to subjugate the indigenous people in the occupied countries. This allows the concealment of casualties taken in the occupation since they are hidden from the public. Mercenaries are a tacit admission that the fatherland aggressor nation is fighting an unjust war because if the war were a just one Americans would line up by the thousands to fight as they did following the false-flag 911 attacks.
So I ask you reader regarding the bloodbath in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and soon Iran: What is the Mission?
