Afghanistan’s former border police chief: “60 to 70% of the land is controlled by the Islamic Emirate”
JUL 27, 2019 12:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER Afghanistan has border police? How racist?
In any case, the Taliban is trying to establish a Sharia state in Afghanistan. If we stay there for another year, and then leave, the Taliban will take advantage of our absence to try to expand its domains further. If we stay there another 10 years, or 25 years, or 100 years, or 1000 years, and then leave, the Taliban will take advantage of our absence to try to expand its domains further. There must be better ways to contain the jihad threat of the Taliban than to occupy a small portion of a hostile land indefinitely.
“Former Taliban Official Muhammad Nabi Omari Claims U.S. Supports ISIS in Afghanistan, Says: 60-70% of Afghanistan Controlled by Taliban; Our Goal is to Establish an Islamic State,” MEMRI, July 9, 2019:
Muhammad Nabi Omari, the Taliban’s border police chief from 1996 to 2001, said in a July 9, 2019 interview on Russia Today TV that Afghan President Ashraf Ghani controls less than half of Kabul and that he cannot operate in other provinces or districts in Afghanistan because the Afghan people do not listen to him or recognize his authority. Omari said that every province in Afghanistan has its own independent government and that 60-70% of Afghanistan is controlled by the Taliban. Omari also claimed that the U.S. cooperates with Ghani’s government to transport ISIS members between Afghanistan’s provinces, and he said that there are rumors that the U.S. has opened camps for ISIS throughout Afghan territory. He also said that Afghanistan’s intelligence agencies support, arm, and finance ISIS. Omari added that the Taliban’s goal in fighting America is to establish an Islamic state.
There was never any reason for us to be there. There was never any hope of a good outcome.
This is why Trump should exercise the nuclear option.
Afghanistan will end just the way Vietnam ended. Helicopters will be taking off from the roof of the US embassy as the insurgents pour into the capital.
And that’s all on George W. Bush. Just like Vietnam is all on LBJ.
Wouldn’t Afghanistan be the best place for Muslims in all their Muslim doominess go and die?
I say let them gather up in one place again.
May we then vaporize them.
WUT? We’ve been wasting time, money and people? Not being ‘dovish’, but if we’re not gonna break a LOT of stuff, we gotta go.
Shhhh.
It fits the Trump doctrine of effective actions.
Just like in the horror movies (or, if you are Joyless Bay-ha, “horror-er movies)...if you hear a sound up there, don’t go in there...
Don’t go into Afghanistan! Just don’t go, even if you hear a sound, or hear a Who, don’t go!!! Just say no!
There is a good reason that Afghanistan was called "Russia's Vietnam" at the time.....
in case people have forgotten.
Just think of it as a giant two way range to gain experience with a higher casualty risk than deploying and training at NTC.
Because there is no other justifiable reason to be there at this point.
Never eat at a place called Mom’s, never play cards with a man named Doc, never stick your junk in crazy, and never get involved in a ground war in Central Asia.
Our reason for invading was the they were harboring Bin Laden. He is dead. Over there problems for over there people belong over there. That includes the poppy fields.
Afghanistan hasn’t had a stable government since the 1970s, it’s about time we moved on.
So interesting ; no airforce ; no armor; just good old ak’s what could an peasant army do against a tech fo ; ....overbreed the ordinance expenditures
9/11 was a reason to be there. The problem going back to before the Russians withdrew, is our so-called ally Pakistan plays both sides. Pakistan harbored the Taliban while they waited for the Russians to leave, then provided a safe haven for Osama Bin Laden. No President going back to Reagan or congress has ever dealt with Pakistan’s double crossing.
Nuke it back into the stone age and make it a tourist attraction OR get out NOW!
When the US Army eventually leaves, we know the Islamists will take over. We will be back to where we were on September 10, 2001.
So what’s the solution?
What should have been the solution on September 12, 2001?
Total travel ban into the USA on anyone from North Africa, Mid-East or South Asian muslim countries.
So what? That’s their religion, it gives them hope and it brings them comfort.
Our entire effort to impose a different religion on a low IQ unwilling people is reckless and wasteful.
