A wolf in sheep's garb is still a wolf. You are correct that all that is occurring, whether Pakistan or Afghanistan is an attempt by men enchanted with the power of the gun to seize power without the consent of the people. Omar won't permit an election. He fought against the last one and...

"dont you think laden is not a salafi terrorist?" Naw. OBL is a MODERN guy. He's a wahabbi terrorist.:lol: Thanks.:usflag:

Errant Rocket Strike Kills Civilians In Afghanistan-NYT Feb.15, 2010 Sure as sh!t what we didn't want to happen, happened. Anywhere from 10-12 killed and some wounded. It sounds like the call for fire was initiated by C Co. 3/6 Marines with whom C.J. Chivers of the NYT is embedded. His...

"Have you ever seen Afghans discuss politics?" Yes. Actually I have. "Its all emotion, no substance, no logic..." Allow me to quote you from another thread- "Without a doubt, it will be slim pickings for anyone from Pakistan, China or India. Our countries have set new lows in...

Fascinating graphs Sherdil76. "Thirty six percent reduction? I am all too aware of these statistical gimmicks..." You seem to be regressing with time. Last I saw 2007. Where's 2009? Too gimmicky?:lol: "...their big mouths never stop talking dirty about Taliban." The taliban are...

"Some blogs seem to think that the GBU 28 contains depleted uranium." It's a surplus 8" cannon barrel. I think that there's enough industrial-related pollution in Iraq to contaminate most of mankind. Care to drink the water? Care to tell me that contaminants aren't dumped daily in the...

Nada. Interesting. I'll P.M. for his experience. Zraver was enlisted and is M.P. Maybe he should be too.

"Problem is Nato has made this an anti-Pashtoon Afghan drive (as per perceptions)." Perceptions are fickle and, in your case, unsubstantiated but, further, don't explain why the pashtuns aren't all dead or that a pashtun like Karzai sits as President. Weak argument and you know it. There's...

Reads as though she's got an agenda. Bring it on and we'll see what she actually knows. I look forward to the trial as we're talking about an area that has seen chemical warfare between Iran and Iraq, oil wells destroyed, and some of the world's worst ecological destruction owing to man-made...

"So how vulnerable is US right now? Go figure it out." Already have. Not very.:) I don't see the threat as I don't anticipate zero growth to our GDP. Nor do I anticipate public spending consistent with the last year and one-half. I do anticipate a net growth of our overall debt as a...

"If USA,want to drastically reduce the whole opium drug trade,it should do some campaign just like Omar did." Omar's campaign was radical both in method and speed. Overnight it economically crushed thousands of farm families whom had no prior warning of intent by a government that had...

"do you know where the survery was conducted?Was it only in Kabul,and the outskirts of the city?Or is there any other areas?" Here is the polling methodology. People from all provinces were polled-both rural and urban- ABC/BBC/ARD Polling Methodology 2010 Ameer, if you've followed the...

"Sir,but if I am not wrong,I am sure opium was at its lowerst during Taliban rule." That's not true. 1999 set a world record for opium production and the taliban had shown consistent increases from the time they seized power in 1996 until then. 2000 levels were higher than all previous...

"they don't want to destabilise things as it is against their self interest..." It's not a wish by the Chinese. They CAN'T destabilize things. If I owe you a little, that's a problem for me. If I owe you a lot, that's a problem for you. "A little diversification by the Chinese of it US...

" So don't delude yourself about the importance of America in the bigger scheme of things." O.K. We're just a niche player. Got it.:lol: Thanks.:usflag:

UNOCAL has no contracts there. Check it out. Conspiracy theories aside, if you look at CAR energy development, you'll see that the vast preponderance is Russian or Chinese based. Who's got the greater motives and incentives. Blame America all you want but the proof TODAY just isn't there...

Looks like you guys are in need of some serious gunner **** here. All missions shot with the M777 howitzer. It's a seriously fine weapon that gives us everything the M198 did and is considerably lighter as the M198 was originally intended to be. 1-321 AFAR in Afghanistan- Here the...

I've looked at your article from Gilles Dorronsoro. It's old and its sourcing-both footnotes and references older. Can you provide the "independant study" supposedly referenced by Mr. Dorronsoro? I'd like to see it please. There are other studies that contradict your suggestion that...

Energy is central to the development of the region. The pipeline referenced by ameer219 had agreements signed in 2002 between Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, and PAKISTAN to terminate at the port of Gwadar. I don't know the status of that project nor especially care. How it works for America...

"Man,really,you are going off topic S-2." My sole purpose at the beginning of this thread was to defend the heinous assault on American forces by a French Pakistani irhabist. To that end I'm no more off-topic than the rest here at this point. "You are missing out my real point for showing...
