Afghanistan -- The Forgotten Front

[theblue64]

This was made before the election of Obama. Obama has been putting more focus on Afghanistan.

I think Pakistan is turning more troublesome than Afghanistan these days.

Afghanistan Mujahideen are fight to defend their country and Pakistan is a country having nuclear power, more far superior missile technology than ur dumb ass miss iles :)), and we are muslim having power of jihad. so dont ever think about us you gay indian mother fuckers :))

@khankingpc

okay you come from a very poor abusing society.

[essai75]

reopen 911!

[afgokjapkjg]

i agree

[drbilla]

Afghanistani political situation is a merry-go-round of ironies! On one hand kick Taliban [so-called terrorists] out but on the other, put Northern Alliance terrorists in the gov't [ppl who've committed some of the most gruesome crimes against humanity]. Afghanistan is a lost case.

Blackwater and other mercenary outfits are sprouting up like mushrooms because unelected criminals are giving away money on which YOU will have to pay the debt. The sad part is that so many Americans actually vote for and support those who fuck them over.

[wafflehead666]

Quite right, Imacphee. To control the game, one must have a hand in both sides. Al-Qaeda is a creation of the Western intelligence agencies. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, there were no monolithic enemies left, so one had to created to justify grotesquly bloated "defense" budgets. It's a sophisticated variation of the oldest scam in the book, the Protection Racket.

You may have something there wacker. One thing for sure we are being taken for a big ride by Bush and his big corporation butt buddies.

[Shawntbell]

Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban have never been charged with 911. There is still no evidence that connects them to the attack on 911. Look at the FBI most wanted list. Afghanistan has nothing to do with 911, most of the alleged hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. We have been lied to about 911.

[gta4lc]

@Shawntbell because the FBI wouldnt because they are the FEDERAL Bureau of Investigation. Which means they only handled US citizens tied to it. But the CIA would handle outside threats such as Osama Bin Laden.

[MachinePRISM]

Afghanistan plight shows humanity is tampered first creation.

[wafflehead666]

Godscuttingyoudown is correct.

However, dont forget that the Taliban eradicated ALL the crops when they took power, and the crops have shot to record highs SINCE the 2001 invasion. Western forces are also in Afghanistan to PROTECT the opium crop, because western governments are addicted to the narco-dollars. They used to deal drugs above board, but went underground after the public outcry over the British treatment of China during the Opium Wars a hundred or so years ago.

[punkassrocky666]

hi, who are you?? or at least where are you from? are you from there. i happen to be "western" which is actualy a stupid label of prejuidce. i am an american and i dont sell drugs in afganastan and i didnt stop selling drugs a hundred years ago because i never have sold them. what the hell?

[wafflehead666]

I'm just somebody who does a lot of research. The Western intelligence agencies are at the heart of the international drug trade, which is how they fund their extralegal activities. Legalization or eradication of such drugs would leave a huge gap in the income to which they have become accustomed. For more insight, do some research on the Opium Wars.

[jmacphee2]

the worst part of is that the drug money they make, is nothing compared to the money the get from policing the drugs after they put them on the streets. And if the population is high or distracted then its easy to enforce or create laws that benefit the big fat rats !

[supercheap007]

I havent really thought about us invading Afganistan in a long time. You dont hear about it on the news anymore.  I guess thats just because we could get more oil from Iraq.

[punkassrocky666]

All I know is from TV and one of the stations actualy go to interview the president of Afganistan. He said that they are a gateway for Iraq because of mountainess terrain and lack the manpower or monies to fund resistance to Al Quida. Which is currently trying to take over. However the interview i saw was four and a half years ago so i have no idea whats going on over there.

[Psilo007]

Opium/ Poppy production was at an alltime high this year. This money directly funds terrorism.

[jmacphee2]

US terrorism !!! Since its the US that runs the country now. Its their drugs, and their plan. Again we come back to a bunch of dudes living in caves, that seem to have the money and power to cause havoc and chaos, around the world ...but they live in a cave... sure....right....ok...if thats what you need to sleep better then to each their own.

[godscuttingyoudown]

the big oil companies havn't forgotten afghan in fact 2 major gas piplines are being built and the 4 major bases are being built close to protect the pipline leaving the cities to be overruned by the taliban
