60 Minutes Interview Shows Futility of Afghanistan War

[afridi1100]

its lost already !!!

[TurkishMujahid]

ALLAHU EKBER !!!! TALIBAN MUJAHIDEEN ZINDABAD

[TurkishMujahid]

Im glad the american soldiers themselfs are finally admitting the mujahideen's bravery is nothing compared to them .. Face it american soldiers are only brave in hollywood movies ... you strip every american soldier from his body armor and armoured vehicle and tell them you are gonna fight the mujahideen head on with only the same equipment as them they'll run back to there mommie's faster then you can say kentucky fried chicken .. just leave afghanistan u terrorist piggs and keep to hollywood

[TurkishMujahid]

@TurkishMujahid ok here's something i'm gonna tell you americans your media won't tell you .. You are not fighting the JUST the taliban.. to be correctly the Taliban are the smallest(but most active) group of fighters fighting against your occupation there are many other groups who are fighting you like Hezbi-islami , Jamiat-Islami , Sazman-I-Nasr , Haraket-I-Iqilabi-Islami etc etc but the reason your media doesnt tell you this is because they want you to think only taliban resists us occupation

[cfbt3]

I'm proud of you Johnny!! Keep up the fight for the good! You are a true American my friend.

this video was made back in sept. of 2010. things have changed. "U.S. STRATEGY CRIPPLES TALIBAN INSURGENCY, LEAVING IT'S LEADERSHIP FRACTURED." = USA TODAY NEWSPAPER, MAY 26, 2011. " " NATO FORCES HAVE STEPPED UP THE PRESSURE THIS LAST WINTER ON THE TALIBAN, KILLING OR CAPTURING 527 INSURGENT LEADERS AND 2700 MID LEVEL LEADERS. ACCORDING TO TALIBAN RADIO INTERCEPTS, TALIBAN MORAL IS VERY LOW." - USA TODAY...5-26 2010....BY WRITER JIM MICHEAL.....TAKE THAT BITCHES.

[judgerofwars]

that british bitch lara logan is always making videos showing how the u.s. is "losing the war". i hate that stupid foriegn bitch. i'm glad she got raped in libya. we will win this war in 10 minutes when we use nukes.

[49sabian]

Afghanistan another Vietnam, remember the French was in Vietnam, they lost, we went into Vietnam, we lost., the Russians went into Afghanistan, they lost, we went

into Afghanistan, we are losing too. Our soldiers wonder what the Hell I'm doing here ? Afghanistan is Taliban country, we will never defeat them . Save our soldiers lives and get out of Afghanistan.

[judgerofwars]

@49sabian the u.s. can win easily if we use small, tactical atomic bombs. we can turn all of the taliban into radioactive dust.

[bigbad1000do7a]

Silly americans...Afghanistan makes your wild west look like kindergarten. You will fall on your knees before this is over.

[judgerofwars]

@bigbad1000do7a not if we use nukes!!! we can win the war in 10 minutes with our nukes.

[pcuimac]

is it only me or are american fighters begin to look like borg? 1:48

[judgerofwars]

@antizionfighter we can win afghanistan if we use nukes.

[judgerofwars]

@AFGHANZCLIP we will win in afghanistan when we drop atomic bombs on them. the taliban will finally meet their 72 virgens.

[TurkishMujahid]

@judgerofwars yeah the world already knows the usa can only win wars by using nuclear weapons , the usa can also alone win wars against poor 3th world country's ... OEPS no thats right you can't even beat 3th world country's .. i would love to see the usa go 1 vs 1 against a economically stable country .. you'll lose the war faster then you can say 1 big mac at the mcdonalds , pls americans keep your " brave war tales " to hollywood alone ;-)

[BooteyMasta]

Total waste of Allied lives and Money! No one in recent history has ever "controlled" Afghan territory and frankly no one wants it!

As far as 10 years seeming like a long time, IT'S NOT! The Romans sat in England for hundreds of years without true "control" of it. And they finally gave up and left only after their empire was crumbling back in Italy.

[quillendaniel]

The Pukhtoons dont want Americans with guns in their land (and so dont a lot of the neighbours). 9 years after 9-11 with hundred of thousands of non-US casualties you are still fighting the natives in lands where the people despise your soldiers.

Thats a fact; today the natives are the victims and your country is the aggressor. That is the clear fact today.

[usnavysss]

ive been doing this thing since 19 no one wins but taliban can wip are ass if we get caught slipping,lol we need to go home its been more then 6 months fucking navy.

Navy security escort squadron/navy doing army's shit....

[05c06]

all they want is there land back just leave and problem solved

[FiyaFive]

Noone can win against Allah Azawajal and his slaves.

[jiggajesse]

What are we fighting for in that shit hole anyways?

[olabeast]

@jiggajesse Nor will they cease fighting you until they turn you back from your faith if they can. And if any of you turn back from their faith and die in unbelief, their works will bear no fruit in this life and in the Hereafter; they will be Companions of the Fire and will abide therein.

Quran 2:217

[jiggajesse]

@olabeast When you're ready to think for yourself and you don't have to quote your holy book of fairyrtales, than we can talk. Until then, go watch The Cosmos. it will blow your fucking mind.

[olabeast]

@jiggajesse I Have the answer to your question "Because the West (Unbelievers) doesn't want a country on the face of this earth who lives according to the Rules of Allah". You the west (YES ALL YOU.THE ONES WHO PAY THE BULLETS THAT KILLED MILLIONS OF MEN,WOMEN,CHILDREN AND IS STILL KILLING THEM) will follow us (muslims) to the moon if you heard that we are living there according to the rules of Allah.

[jiggajesse]

Well I'm a non-believer and I personally think the world would be a much more beautiful and peaceful place without religion. So much blood has been shed in the name of religion. There is hope though. Through the spread of information, science, truth and facts. Religion will soon perish back to the cults from which they started. It's inevitable. As our understanding of the universe evolves, so does our species and the way we think. Put aside your religion and take a moment to think for yourself.

[saladinswarrior]

@jiggajesse Hi! I disagree about ur opinion on religion.Many ideologies both religious and secular have caused or have been manipulated to cause problems.

Perhaps u'll be interested to watch this video:

Debate: Can We Live Better Lives Without Religion? Hamza Tzortzis & Best-Selling Author Peter Cave

watch?v=iJOZXZ480dA

As for the current war,personally i feel the Bush admin has sent the youth of America to die over lies in a war that they can never win.

That's just my opinion.

[jiggajesse]

@saladinswarrior Well you can't disagree with the facts. If you look at the statistics, more and more people are starting to wake up and think for themselves. The church is losing its grip on society. In Europe, already 40-50% of citizens are confirmed atheists. The Middle East will take longer only because those countries are brainwashed by religion and government. The people remain ignorant without proper education teaching them the facts. But In time, Truth & knowledge will prevail. :)

[saladinswarrior]

@jiggajesse u said "But In time, Truth & knowledge will prevail"!

Yes it will!

[jiggajesse]

@saladinswarrior Well I'm glad we can agree on that :)

Proper education is the greatest weapon against ignorance.

[SoCalstylez858]

Wow, sounds like the oncoming rocket launchers on the video game Batttlefield 2

[raeeskhan29]

Talibans means student who is seeking islamic knowledge..NO country can ever win against the power of student .Just open the door of afganistan for foreign taliban it will be  so crowded that NATO will not have room to shoot a bullet

[koora8]

LOL @ foreign fighters , as if he is a native .

[AlFethRoermond]

Say to those who disbelieve, if they desist, that which is past shall be forgiven to them; and if they persist, then what happened to the ancients has already passed (and will happen again). (Qraan 8:38)

Take lessons from the empires of old who were defeated by the muslims with the help of Allah. Look at the Persain empire, the Byzantine, the English and the Russians. Repent, and embrace Islaam and stop the mischief!

[koora8]

@AlFethRoermond stop threatening people , quran says fight back if they fought u at your homes not scare people .

[AlFethRoermond]

@koora8 I'm not treatening no-one. I'm giving you a clear sign (verse) where Allah, The Lord of the universe and Who has the power over everything, says that if the americans don't stop spreading their mischief, then their fait is like the ones who where before them (like the russians, etc.). And the quran rather says that if the koufar enter muslimland you fight them until the rule is completely under the rule of Allah i.e. Islam.

[australia5151]

because ur the occupier and they are not, winning lol, u got to be kidding me.

Hi Mr stupid america, do u remember who created Saddam, Osama, the Taliban and who supported the Shah or iran, most of the problem in the region are cause of america's foreign policy - so its time to come clean with ur own people and the international community also time to investigate 9/11 cause nothing will will surprise me with the GREAT SATAN, which is USA, thank u

[jihadifanclub]

That soldier sounds so PATHETIC. He’s about at dumb as a white settler saying: "Every time we try to move west we just keep running into Native Americans, it seems as if they don't want us to take their territory." Afghanistan belongs to Afghans not rednecks from Killanigger, Arkansas.

[danemillerus]

No, it shows the problems with the Pakistan safe haven. Nothing more.

The irony is that more and more US soldiers arrive to fight and kill them coming over from Pakistan. The commander said, "they are more determined than I have ever seen."

The point is NATO is supported by the Afghan government and people. The Taliban are NOT in charge and do not Afghan support. They have not been in charge since 2001. Pakistan, is another story, which is the point.

[MarmaladeINFP]

It's hard to believe we're living during a time when there is a war more hopeless than even Vietnam. People said never again. Soldiers who came back from Vietnam at least thought we had learned a lesson we would never forget. And here we are again. How can anyone consider Bush and his cronies as anything other than sociopaths? I hope Obama ends this war quickly, but it never should've happened in the first place. I blame ignorant, asshole Americans who fall for the same propaganda again & again.

[kurohoshiVP]

@MarmaladeINFP I would blame the greed driven society myself, and I hate to break this to Obama lovers (I did support him when he ran btw and I am not a republican) He is no better then Bush. He is much easier to listen to and much better at hiding his skeletons in the closet... However, where is "the change we can believe in"? All I see is wall street in government, and vice versa; US is still in wars it can't win and Obama promised to ramp up the war in Afghanistan, not pull out... :(

[MarmaladeINFP]

@kurohoshiVP I'm not an Obama lover. I didn't vote for him nor did I ever believe in his message of 'hope' and 'change'. Even so, Obama does seem to be against an endless war. Certainly, Republicans never had any intention of ending the war. I'll give Obama a chance on this issue before judging him... but, as with all politicians, I'm prepared to be disappointed.

[kurohoshiVP]

@MarmaladeINFP Probably a good way to look at things.

Though I have faith in Obama and all other politicians, republicans and democrats alike. I have faith in that they will do everything and anything in their power to put more money their pockets and the pockets of their friends. They will do just enough for the public to keep people from raising up and fighting back.

[shugotenshi24]

keep fighting the good fight! the second we let up evil prevails..

[koora8]

@shugotenshi24 lol u serious?

[Cheyennebremari]

Am I totally losing my mind,did he say(only)18-20kilometers? Isnt that approx.12miles?Am I wrong to believe we should have left a long time ago or better yet,maybe we should have never gone?This whole war was based,lie upon lie..it was never really about what we we're led to believe.It was a costly war not only financially, but emotionally(for all the lives lost & families seperated).It was never worth it & never will be.I'am heartbroken for 'Our Many Troops Who Will Never Be The Same Mentally'

[epajrgolf]

man that was some of the most intense news coverage.

[rethinkafghanistan]

@epajrgolf It really was intense. The full segment is equally so. Thanks for watching.

[TheObservationDeck]

America fails. Mission NOT accomplished.
