NATO forces will launch a major offensive in the Afghanistan city of Kandahar in June, sources told Fox News, part of a new war strategy that began earlier this year with the offensive in Marjah.
The new strategy focuses on clearing Taliban strongholds while protecting the local populations and establishing Afghan control.
Part of the objective in Kandahar is to be done with the "clearing phase" of operations by the beginning of August, before Ramadan, two senior U.S. officials told Fox News. The U.S. and its allies already are laying the groundwork for the offensive by removing corrupt politicians from power to make way for new leaders.

Is that enough warning for the jihadist pig molestors? i wouldn’t want any of them to be hurt/sarc
Yeah, how come they didn’t say which day, the time and the exactr number of troops and arms to be used?
Apparently Obama didn't get the chance to tell the Taliban personally while in Afghanistan so he resorted to the press getting the message to them.
Well, it’s certainly awful sporty of them to let the enemy know~!!
I’m hoping this is a head-fake...oh brother. Can’t we just send them maps of our bases with all of the important stuff circled?
In brightly colored Dodge vans......
The goat rapists now have 2-2.5 months to set their IEDs
I wonder if NFL teams trade playbooks before they play? Nahhhhhhhhhhhh...of course, NFL is life and death...
I hate these bstrds in the WH.
Ah, but I forget, we are NOT in Afghanistan to KILL the murdering, psychopathic, Islamo-Fascist, but to win "Hearts and Minds!"
I have a difficult time understanding how anyone would volunteer for this man's (woman's) military today, knowing that the RETARDS in Charge, expect them to go into battle with the worst ROE's that we have to abide by while in Nam--which were pretty damned bad!
I’m really becoming anti-war. This isn’t war, its some kind of blood sport. “Hey our team’s coming to town and we’re gonna’ beat your team.” I don’t BELIEVE this. We’ve got kids going in there shooting and we tell the bad guys we are coming so they can be WAITING and positioned to kill our kids? I will not support a POLITICALLY CORRECT WAR ... it is an oxymoron. Either go in there and kill them or come home. This is ridiculous.
Amen...
These people are insane. They are more concerned about their personal prestige than with the well-being of our servicemen and women, and with the success of our efforts. They are nincompoops who don’t belong in any position of government responsibility. They should be found out, and kicked out.
Was this story reported by Geraldo Rivera??? With muther frappin’ diagrams and all???
What the hell ever happened to OpSec???
