Taliban Breach NATO Base in Deadly Clash

[Majnun]

Karzai is the enemy of Afghanistan.

The US is not bothered when it calls in airstrikes as they are not fighting in their own country whereas Pakistan is.

The typical Yanky Achilles Heel . . . can't fight and can't defend themselves . . . call in the airstrikes that land in the wrong place and alienate a people and culture they thought were not worth educating themselves about.

Arrogant. Imperialist. Hegemonic.

Really! Then why did your Churchill have to plead with the same Yankees to pull your chestnuts out of the fire? Why do you keep hanging to his coat tails?

You were all of the adjectives you have given them and worse. You just can't continue the game alone, so have a desperate need to hang on to others.

Dear Vinod,

What gibberish have you posted about Churchill. Please clarify what you are trying to state.

Dear Vinod,

It is the obvious fact that the UK depended on the USA to save you and Europe during WW-II. Churchill still wanted to keep the empire (especially India) while he needed help to save his own country.

Now compare this with:

The typical Yanky Achilles Heel . . . can't fight and can't defend themselves . . . call in the airstrikes that land in the wrong place and alienate a people and culture they thought were not worth educating themselves about.

Arrogant. Imperialist. Hegemonic.

Clear enough or you need more?

P.S. Just to clarify, by his coat tails, I meant the Yankee's coat tails and not Churchill, if that is what offended you.

Taliban capture district in Afghanistan

* 12 Afghans wounded in clash in Kunar

KABUL: Dozens of Taliban militants captured a remote district in central Afghanistan overnight, killing one police officer and injuring two others, the Interior Ministry said on Monday.

Local security forces fled "under lots of pressure" after the insurgents stormed into Ghazni province's Ajiristan district, 200 kilometres southwest of Kabul, shortly after midnight, spokesman Zemarai Bashary told AFP. "Security forces abandoned the district centre after Taliban attacked. They withdrew under lots of pressure," the spokesman said. "One police was killed and two others were injured," he said.

"We're working on a plan to retake the district," Bashary said, without giving details. Ajiristan was captured by Taliban insurgents in October last year. It was retaken the following day when about 300 security forces moved into the small district centre.

Kunar: Meanwhile, militants attacked a NATO patrol in eastern Afghanistan on Monday and 12 people were wounded in the ensuing clash, including some civilians, officials said.

The foreign troops were passing through Pech River Valley in Kunar province, which borders Pakistan, when militants fired on them using civilian homes for cover, provincial police chief Gen Abdul Jalal Jalal said.

Troops returned fire and 12 people were wounded, Jalal said. Six of those were sent to a hospital in the provincial capital of Asadabad for treatment, said Hafizullah, a doctor at the hospital. Like many Afghans, he uses only one name.

Zabul: Meanwhile, insurgents attacked a convoy of trucks ferrying goods on the main Kandahar-Kabul highway, killing four private security guards, said Shadi Khan, a local government official in Zabul province. agencies
