Badakhshan Province: Police have arrested two Mujahideen whom they say cannot recite the Kalimas. I checked on this Kalima thing and discovered it’s specific to Pakistani Islam, but even the majority of Pakistanis cannot recite all of the ‘Kalimas’. So what is the point the police are trying to make?

In 2007 Finnish troops left the area, after spending millions building 10 ‘western’ style police stations and a few ‘western’ style schools. A Finnish (former ISAF) commander (Colonel Ali Mättölä) told Finnish news sources that Mujahideen have either taken control of those buildings, or destroyed them.

Kabul Province: In Kabul City, Mujahideen claim they’ve killed six NATO personnel, they assume they are Norwegian troops, along with 10 ANA troops. The Ministry of Defense is reporting battles raging across the country over the past five days, with hundreds of people killed. The ministry mentioned Helmand, Paktiya, Khost, Uruzgan, Balkh, Jowzjan, Sar-e-Pul and Kunar provinces as being the hot spots. The National Directorate of Security (NDS) says there are at least 107 terrorism ‘hubs’ in Afghanistan, mainly within the province of Kabul. The NDS admits that security operations have been infiltrated. Regarding the city of Kabul, the NDS admitted there are only enough security personnel to monitor four access points at any one time, and the city has 26 access points. Of course NDS administrators are using these claims to justify asking for more money. As the NDS was asking for more money a Kamikaze car bomber blew up a group of Kabul City police after they tried to stop him from ramming a convoy of ANA-NATO troops. One cop killed at least three wounded. The European Union has extended its police ops in Afghanistan until the end of 2016. EU members will be shelling out an additional 58-million Euros ($90-million USD) in taxes to pay for the European Union Police Mission in Afghanistan.

In the Quram area of Shirzad District, a U.S.-NATO-Afghan drone strike killed at least 11 people in a truck. In Achin District, battles resulted in at least six people being killed, 11 wounded.

The European country of Romania has promised to send an additional 450 military personnel to Afghanistan, to help support the continued U.S. led occupation. This is on top of the 200 troops already scheduled to go.

A Bloomberg report shows exactly where your hard paid taxes go to: The top ten Afghans!
Some excerpts from the report: “In the five years that Mullah Omar and his Taliban regime dominated Afghanistan, ‘foreign currency was rare. There probably wasn’t even $2 million in the market,’ says Khan Mohammad Baz, the bespectacled head of the currency exchange union at Sarai Shahzada, Afghanistan’s central exchange market. ‘By 2003 there was probably $1 billion circulating.’ These days, Baz says, about $20 million worth of business deals are made in a day. The central bank alone pumps about $60 million a week into the market to buy back the Afghan currency and keep it stable.”
“About 36 percent of Afghanistan’s 30 million people live below the poverty line. ‘If you ask people on the streets whether we have a billionaire, they will shrug and say no,’ says a senior Afghan economic official, who asked to remain anonymous because he is privy to sensitive information. ‘But I can tell you with confidence we have many. If the top 10 wealthy men in Afghanistan—I would say 9 of them products of the past 10 years—came together, they could buy this government, the bank, this whole system.'”
“He also helped deliver USAID cash to far-flung districts as part of a jobs program called Cash for Work. He started other businesses as well, importing Iranian biscuits and shampoo from Nimroz, a large border province and hub for smugglers, distributing the products across the country. He invested his earnings abroad, including putting $100,000 into a bakery in the United Arab Emirates. He had become rich—thanks to American spending.”
The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) reports a 19% increase in civilian casualties since 2013, making 2014 the bloodiest year yet for the U.S. occupation. The UN says children have become the main victims.
“This year alone, more local security forces (police and army) have been killed by attacks and in fighting than ever before: 6,000 alone by mid-November, which is more than in the previous 12 years combined. In addition, according to official figures, some 3,000 civilians have also been killed. However, the real figure is probably much higher.”-World Socialist Web Site
WikiLeaks has released a 2009 CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) report which declared HVT (High Value Target Assassination, usually by drone strike) to be “intermittent” at best, because the Mujahideen “…military structure blends a top-down command system with an egalitarian Afghan tribal structure that rules by consensus, making the group more able to withstand HVT operations… …has a high overall ability to replace lost leaders, a centralized but flexible command and control overlaid with egalitarian Pashtun structures, and good succession planning and bench strength, especially at the middle levels…”
The CIA report is very useful for those who rage against the machine, you should check it out by clicking here.
Did anybody pay attention to the ‘end of mission’ ceremony conducted by the U.S. led NATO? It’s total proof that this is a ‘western Christian’ war against ‘eastern Islam’! All the top NATO military administrators made it a public point to conduct a ‘western Christian’ style prayer service as part of the ‘end of mission’ ceremony, in plain view of all the Islamic Afghan dignitaries! What happened to ‘separation of church and state’?

The Army National Guard’s 1-230th Air Cavalry (pronounced Cav-all-ry, not cal-vary) Unit (Tennessee U.S.A.) returning from Afghanistan. In February it was reported that the 1-230th will lose their Kiowa Warrior helicopters when they return. Major General Max Haston spoke out: “We’ve already taken significant reductions in the Air National Guard to the tune of about 200-250 people and now we’re getting ready to look at what’s going to happen to the Army National Guard. If the worst case in the Budget Control Act takes place, the state of Tennessee could lose anywhere from 8-12% of its national guardsmen. That concerns me for the security of this nation….”
