And so does the ANA. Even if we withdraw troops from offensive duty rest assured we will not be withdrawing from our support roles. The ANA will hunt the scum and we help by bombing them.

Well ANA has as much or even better chance with our backing at burying this Talibani scum 6 feet under than the FC has with PA's backing.

Have u read what Kiyani said recently ?

Pick your side your either with the Taliban (TTP is a proud part of it) or be with the rest of the proud Afghani people and the world.

30 scums dead against 2 brave boys lost by the ISAF, it must rankle you and other keyboard jehadists.

ok the talibani scum will get lucky once in a while but even TTP had its day when they downed the Cobra and killed the brave Brigadier. These are facts of life.

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 commentary follows a day of running gun battles through the fields and compounds of Marjah.

Hopefully, that'll be the last of it. HIMARS use has been restricted and I can only speculate that with its purported accuracy there was either a target location error or a weapon malfunction.

Here's more from other papers-

Marines Move On Marjah: A Perilous Slog Against Afghanistan's Taliban-WAPO Feb. 15, 2010

More battle accounts from a different Marine company provided by Rajiv Chandrasekaran. Tedious work. Over 70 IEDs found embedded into a stretch of a ten foot high adobe wall. Mines everywhere. Casualities-one dog and two pieces of flatbread woofed by ANA soldiers before the marines could stop them from asking for food from a farmer.

Afghanistan War: Marjah As Tough As Fallujah Say U.S. Troops-CSM Feb.15, 2010

Plenty out there for everybody to read. This is a hard, slow, tedious, infantry fight where the taliban are doing their utmost to generate mistakes. Both sides have probably had more success than the other would like.

It does appear that there are a goodly number of insurgents that are inside the battle area. There are plenty of firefights-some sporadic, some intense.

S2,

Do you know who is wahabbi or salafi ?

Please dont use these words with terrorist ,Terrorists have no religion .

Calling every wahabbi or salafi terrorist is attack on some body's religion or faith.

Wahabbi(Salafi),Shia ,Sunni are different sects of Islam.

MOD: PLEASE TAKE ACTION
 
Coalition forces facing 'scattered resistance' in Afghanistan

Marjah, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Resistance is waning in a major NATO offensive against the Taliban in southern Afghanistan, the nation's officials said Monday, a day after 12 civilians died in a rocket attack by coalition troops.

"Coalition forces are clearing mines and roadside bombings, and facing only scattered resistance" from the Taliban, said Zahir Azimi, the Afghan defense spokesman.

The troops met almost no resistance on Monday, unlike Sunday, said Hanif Atmar, the Afghan minister of interior affairs.

"Progress is being made on all fronts," he said.

However, CNN's Atia Abawi, who is embedded with Marines in Marjah, said the coalition forces were still battling militants, facing sporadic gunfire.

About 15,000 Afghan and NATO forces are taking part in Operation Moshtarak, the biggest offensive since the Afghan war started in 2001. The assault aims to wrest control of the town of Marjah and surrounding areas from the Taliban.

"The operation is being conducted at the request of the Afghan government and the governor of Helmand," said Master Sgt. Jeff Loftin, a spokesman for the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force.
 
Zahir Azimi is ahead of himself. There are all sorts of pockets with varying resistance from severe to modest. There is an absolute CRAPLOAD of IEDs everywhere.

It'll be at least a month to clear MOST of the mines. Many afghans will yet die by those missed. Yesterday, Marines found over 70 IEDs embedded inside a ten foot high wall along its length. They were intended to catch a column of men as they moved on the trail beside the wall.
