May 3, 2012, U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, numb nuts Ryan Crocker, stated that the new military pact between Afghanistan and the United States could allow drone strikes to continue past 2014.

The refugee situation has worsened in Afghanistan, ever since the U.S. invasion.  Most of the people had escaped to Pakistan and Iran during the Taliban reign.

After the U.S. invaded about 5.7 million refugees were encouraged to return to Afghanistan.  However, most have not been welcomed back, and have even had their homes taken away only to be put in what could be called concentration camps.  This is being done by the U.S. puppet government of Afghanistan.

Because of the despicable treatment that returned refugees have gotten by the puppet government, there are another three million refugees still in Iran and Pakistan.  Now comes the United Nations with a brilliant plan to force them back into Afghanistan.

UN’s High Commissioner for Refugees, Antonio Guterres, wants $1.9 billion USD to basically bribe the puppet Afghan government to accept those refugees back.

Don’t you find it ironic that many refugees that fled the Taliban rule are now being treated just as bad by the very people that “liberated” them from the Taliban?

And now for the 24 hour seek, destroy or capture report given by Afghan and ISAF officials, for May 3, 2012:  More Taliban, Haqqani and Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan “leaders” captured.  The captures took place in Kunduz, Helmand and Maidan Wardak provinces.  Of course, lots of weapons and ammo were captured.

Three Mujahideen killed after they attacked police in Logar Province.

Afghan army killed one Mujahideen in Maidan Wardak Province.

Two Mujahideen killed by U.S./NATO airstrike in Kunar Province.

 

“It must be stated that the primary target of Al-Farooq operation will be the foreign invaders, their advisers, their contractors and members of all associated military, intelligence and auxiliary departments.”-Taliban statement

May 2, 2012, a “Taliban” website announced the official start to the annual Spring Offensive, called Operation Al-Farooq.  (It could be a reference to Umar, the second Muslim Caliph. Al-Farooq means something like ‘he who knows truth from falsehood’)

The official declaration of a spring offensive comes days after reports that the U.S. was about to begin negotiations with “Taliban” officials in Qatar.

The Spring Offensive statement also said: “…all those people who work against the Mujahideen, toil to pave ground for the occupation of Afghanistan and become the cause for the strength of the invaders will also be targeted in Al-Farooq operation!”

Just hours before the statement, dozens of suicide bombers attacked several locations throughout Afghanistan.

In the city of Kabul, at least seven people were killed and 17 wounded after Mujahideen detonated at least three bombs, and began firefights following the explosions.

Hours before that a suicide bomber hit a British/NATO base on the Kabul-Jalalabad highway.  Mujahideen claim dozens of NATO troops killed or wounded.

International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) did admit that at least two U.S./NATO personnel were killed, by an explosion, in eastern Afghanistan.

Zabiullah Mujahid (a Taliban spokesman) says the official start of their Spring Offensive was timed for Obama’s visit to Afghanistan.  The attacks in Kabul took place two hours after Obama left.

Speaking of Obama, the U.S. president arrived in Afghanistan the night of May 1, 2012.  He signed a new military pact with Afghanistan’s puppet president Hamid Karzai.

To give a sinister spin to the event, the signing of the military pact took place at midnight Afghanistan time.

The ten page long agreement pledges continued U.S. support for the puppet government of Afghanistan for a decade after 2014!

And now for the 24 hour seek, destroy or capture report given by Afghan and ISAF officials, for May 2, 2012: More “leaders” captured in Ghazni and Kandahar provinces. 925 kilograms (2,035 pounds ) of homemade explosives captured during “routine” patrol in Ghazni Province.

This is an unusually short 24 hour report.

“Such fratricide-murder incidents are no longer isolated; they reflect a growing systemic threat.”-from ISAF report titled A Crisis of Trust and Cultural Incompatibility

On Monday, April 30, the Associated Press revealed that U.S./ISAF/NATO officials are intentionally under-reporting the number of attacks upon them, by Afghan government personnel: “…the AP has learned it does not report insider attacks in which the Afghan wounds – or misses – his US or allied target. It also doesn’t report the wounding of troops who were attacked alongside those who were killed.”

The AP report also revealed that most attacks by Afghan government personnel on U.S. forces are not because they are “Taliban” but because the U.S. forces are treating the Afghans like shit: “US officials say that in most cases the Afghans who turn their guns on their supposed allies are motivated not by sympathy for the Taliban or on orders from insurgents but rather act as a result of personal grievances against the coalition.”

The number of “friendly fire” cases are rapidly growing: 2007/2008 a total of four attacks, four deaths.  2010 eleven attacks, 20 deaths.  2011 twenty one attacks, 35 deaths.   So far for 2012, at least 10 attacks.
