On Thursday, almost 4,000 United States Marines poured into small villages in the southern Afghan province of Helmand where the Taliban has gained a foothold.
The main goal of the operation, dubbed Strike of the Sword, is to launch a massive assault while simultaneously gaining back the trust of the people.

Marvin Weinbaum, a scholar at the Middle East Institute and former State Department analyst on Afghanistan and Pakistan, joins Martin Savidge to discuss the importance of Helmand and the new operation.

  • ColonialismisEvil, the Caps lock is on the left between the tab and shift key. Writing in caps only makes you look 10 years old but hey maybe that is the extent of your education. After reading and trying to decipher what you posted I am certain that you are an Arab because it is the same rhetoric they all use. I've got an idea. Join the Taliban and attack American Soldiers. This way we will have one less idiot posting his Jihadi extremism on YouTube.
