Taliban’s rhetoric contradicts their reality. They claim that they do not intentionally attack civilians but in reality we see all too frequently innocents killed by their hands. For example, in their spring campaign Taliban specifically address the issue of civilian casualties and vowed to avoid them. But the United Nations called May 2011 the bloodiest month for Afghan civilians since 2007. Three hundred sixty eight civilians killed and 593 wounded, 82% of the casualties were attributed to Taliban and anti government forces.

Is not the shameless attack on Kabul Intercontinental Hotel yet another attempt by Taliban, the enemy of peace and civil order, to destroy the historical buildings, businesses of Afghanistan and terrorize those who wish to rebuild Afghanistan? We extend our condolences and prayers to the families and the victims of this blatant attack on Kabul Intercontinental Hotel which left many dead and wounded. Dear readers, attacks such as these are, unfortunately, not the first of such terrorist assaults on privately owned hotels, government institutions, schools, and markets in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Taliban’s revenge attacks, for the death of Osama Bin Ladin, have not even spared little girls. Authorities say that an 8-year-old girl was tricked into carrying a concealed bomb close to a police vehicle, where it was remotely detonated; only she died.
Associated Press Of Pakistan ( Pakistan's Premier NEWS Agency ) - UN official condemns use of young child as suicide bomber

Coward Taliban militants do not have the courage to face the Afghan, Pakistani and International Security and Assistance Forces, so instead they use children in suicide attacks. Taliban are in great fear that future generations of educated Afghans and Pakistanis will be loyal to their country and its best interest, and not to Mullah Omar, TTP or Al-Qaeda (AQ). With that fear in their mind Afghan Taliban and the TTP target innocent people with indiscriminate violence, oppressive practices, and the imposition of an extremist ideology. Since the beginning of this year only, their suicide attacks have killed over 400 and injured over 750 Pakistanis.

Forum readers, join me in investigating the author’s accusations of propaganda and lies. Is it not a fact that Taliban are targeting civilians in both Pakistan and Afghanistan? Is it not a fact that they target tribal elders in Pakistan who stand against them? Is it not a fact that the United Nations human casualty report clearly records that the majority of deaths in Afghanistan (82% - May 2011) are caused by anti-government terrorists? Have we not, forum readers, presented you a live video of the Intercontinental Hotel attack in which innocents were killed and wounded by the Taliban? Had not Afghan Army and NATO forces fought and took back the International Hotel from these Taliban terrorists how many more would have died.

Is not our information factual, coming as it does from credible sources with verifiable evidence? It would indeed appear that the accusations against us are where propaganda and lies abound. We sacrifice our soldiers, use valuable resources and spend money to aid Pakistan and fight the WoT. We brought with us to Afghanistan the international community to provide humanitarian aid, development assistance and to fight terrorism. This, forum readers, is the theory, the reality, without the conspiracy.

Do we, forum readers, have among us mouthpieces for terrorists who are, due to lack of experience at the frontlines, or deliberate attempts to mislead, ignorant of the facts? Patience with these mouthpieces must be our virtue for their accusations will remain forever baseless, their claims forever devoid of truth, and their motives forever self serving. Without patience how can we endure their dishonorable attempts to devalue the sacrifices made by sons and daughters of Pakistan and Afghanistan? We offer not propaganda and lies, but motivation and prayers to those who fight to save our countries, our homes and our people from the lingering threat of terrorism.

Lame propaganda. It is the US forces which murder the majority of Afghan civilians.

Unbelievably lame contributor. Even your insults lack a trace of style. Do not feather valid organizations while pretending to be some executive, it gives you no credibility. Do you know how many civilians the Taliban are responsible for killing? No because you hide behind a computer without using a search engine.

Would you like to tell us why US didn't officially lists Pakistani Taliban as banned terror group? Or there is again any dual face politics?

Example: Canada bans Pakistani Taliban as terror group - Politics - CBC News

Will US follow Canadian decision or not?

One sentence: Refrain from proving your illiteracy by saying what you said above.

Okay, why are you occupying afghanistan? Did some ragtag farmer Talibans from afghanistan attack you? Why? US is definitely a big liar. Iraq WMDs?

And see this: US and their cronies are again spreading the lie of "negotiations". See the Afghan taliban's statement yourself : http://www.defence.pk/forums/world-affairs/118801-statement-taliban-regarding-negotiations.html

If the US can create so well designed propaganda about "negotiations", no wonder what other lies and propagandas they can create to deceive the public.

Good luck with lying.

Cheers
