Afghanistan set to get huge supply of military gear
Submitted 3 hrs 19 mins ago
NATO’s war planners call it the “iron mountain,” the $2.7 billion mass of military equipment that will be dropped on Afghanistan over the next eight months. But will the mountain be tall enough? Between now and next March, the U.S.-led coalition will deliver 22,000 vehicles, including 514 new four-wheeled “mobile strike force” armored vehicles yet to be used in Afghanistan, 44 airplanes and helicopters, 40,000 weapons, and tens of thousands of radios and other pieces of communications gear. “It’s an enormous amount of equipment, vehicles and weapons,” said one U.S. military official. Some Afghans, however, are looking at what the mountain’s missing, particularly fighter jets and tanks. Among them is Defense Minister Abdul Rahim Wardak, who believes such sophisticated weaponry would intimidate the Taliban and keep neighbors Iran and Pakistan at bay.

Arming the Afghans National Army is actually not for protecting the people of Afghanistan.

Afghanistan's enemy no 1 and enemy no 2?????

This is certainly bad news for Pakistan!

This can easily be translated to more attacks on border posts, army convoys, girl schools and border villages.

It's clear final push for fueling civil war in Pakistan is on horizon.

Only solution is pre-emptive strike on northern alliance terrorists and their masters, across our southern border.

Do you really recommend a pre-emptive strike on Afghanistan? Will that be a right action by Pakistan? Did you consider the effects of such an action on Pakistan?

It is boiling down to survival, and to think right and wrong in such situation is a hard proposition!

Basically those northern alliance cranks are cover of India's proxy war on Pakistan.

The Taliban will be rubbing their hands, the small arms and radios are bound to get into taliban hands

Better to strike now when they are weak. The next thing you know, U.S. will give these illiterate ANA nukes.


By the way, Pakistan can play the same game U.S. is playing. Supplying our enemy's other enemy to weaken our enemy. Pakistan must do everything in its power to safeguard its interests in Afghanistan.

They need to win hearts and minds. The shah of iran was armed to the teeth with modern american weapons at the time he ran away. Didnt do him much good. And these wapons will never be used against pakistan or iran by the maijority of afghans anyway

Exactly... last time during SAWAt battle TTP had sattelites linked communications and intelligence in tracking down the movement of Paktroops.

Further more TTP had US made night vision googles while Pakistani troops were refused night vision googles.

Take your enemy down, before they take you down.

ANA is very weak today, Pakistan military can easily defeat them today. If we dont, America, Israel, and India will supply weapons to these illiterate ANA and make them stronger so they can cause very serious problems for Pakistan.

My point is TAKE AFGHANISTAN BEFORE IT TAKES YOU.

MORE EQUIPMENT MEANS MORE TARGETS and US IS DOING THE SAME WHAT USSR DID gave alot of equipment to afghanistan govt to fight the mujahideen but what happened in the end USSR ran out with their tail inbetween their legs and DR NAJEEBULLAH the then PM of afghanistan found hanging from a pole in KABUL WITH DOLLARS STUFFED IN HIS MOUTH AND POCKETS.the same will happen to this Govt and ANA.HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

Great news for Afghanistan, they will be able to protect its own people from Pakistan and talibans.

Dear readers, are we surprised to hear that AQ offers more distorted reasons for more killings? In reality, is AQ not the enemy of humanity and peace? Do not AQ’s attacks on Pakistani civilians serve as a reminder of their extremist ideology and terrorist ways? In the holy month of Ramadan have Pakistani’s not witnessed a suicidal attack against a mosque killing many innocents during prayers? AQ and their affiliates continue to deny their failure but is it not apparent that in a desperate attempt to remain relevant they now focus their attention on “soft targets”? Are not these desperate attacks against innocents a sign that AQ’s days are numbered? Dear readers, let us say to those who choose to believe in conspiracy theories, that soon, after the fall of AQ, you will need to choose a new topic.
