| Nato's 'Taliban problem' in Afghanistan - 31 Jul 08 - 172 sec
General David McKiernan, commander of the Nato led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan, says his biggest problem is Taliban infiltration from across the border in Pakistan.
According to Nato's military chief, they need a more sizable fighting force to defeat the Taliban.
McKiernan took over the post two months ago, as a result he is the most senior US general in Afghanistan.
Al Jazeera's James Bays reports on the exclusive interview.

| | Taliban Burning - Afghanistan - 1583 sec
October 2005
After soldiers of a US 173rd Airborne company burn the bodies of two Taliban killed near the Pakistan border, members of the army's psychological warfare unit then broadcast an inflammatory message designed to taunt and bait the
enemy.
US soldiers in Afghanistan have taken the tactics of psychological warfare to a grotesque extreme. After soldiers of a US 173rd Airborne company burn the bodies of two Taliban killed near the Pakistan border in a desecration of Muslim burial rituals, members of the army's psychological warfare unit then broadcast an inflammatory message designed to taunt and bait the enemy. A translation offered on camera by Sergeant Jim Baker of "PsyOps" reads: "Attention Taliban. You are all cowardly dogs. You allowed your fighters to be burned. This just proves you are the ladyboys we always believed you to be." In recent months, the Taliban have launched more attacks that at any time since the invasion. Faced with such a resurgence, the Americans are resorting to psychological warfare to demoralise the enemy. Armored vehicles loaded with loudspeakers blast loud, offensive music into the valleys. But such tactics may also heighten the perception of local people that the Americans are as barbarous as the Taliban.

(June 28)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] Military forces in Pakistan have started cracking down on the Taliban.It's the first major offensive the country's newly elected government has taken against the militants. [Notes:SOT Syed Irfan Ashraf, TV Journalist: "The problem is having low-gruelling effect and now it is escalating towards the settled area and now, after the settled area, Peshawar, which is the capital city of NWFP (North-West Frontier Province) is now facing this threat. In fact, the threat is very much potential."]And it's because of these threats the military decided to take action. Officials say Pakistani forces have taken control of a Khyber tribal area along the border with Afghanistan ... destroying three militant centers. [Notes:SOT Syed Zahir Shah, Local Journalist: "These are extremist groups which are fighting in the Khyber region Agency. There are also perceptions that perhaps these groups are intruding and what we have seen that some threats have also been issued to the people here.] Khyber is a key route for moving U-S military supplies into neighboring Afghanistan.The operation is expected to last up to a week. ___ ___, The Associated Press.(****END****)

| | Tackling the Taliban - Afghanistan - 1192 sec
March 2007
As casualties mount in Afghanistan, questions are being asked about NATO's tactics. Can the Taliban be defeated by military might alone or is a more subtle strategy required?
A convoy of 20 armed vehicles rolls into a village. After a security perimeter is established, engineers start fitting a water tank to the village mosque. It's part of a plan to win over hearts and minds. "If the people support you, then you will win," explains NATO Spokesman Mark Leity. This strategy of fighting coupled with development was introduced to the South by NATO's British commander, General David Richards. Much to the Americans' disgust, Richards also negotiated a truce with the Taliban, which lasted until the US took command of NATO. "There are good Taliban out there as well", he claims. Richards is convinced his strategy is; "setting the conditions for success". But last year also saw the highest levels of fighting since the invasion. Almost 200 coalition troops were killed. It looks like NATO's new American commander will ditch Richards' tactics in favour of a more aggressive approach.

| | Taliban Country (2004) - US In Afghanistan Video Documentary - 1808 sec
Away from the glare of the media, in the most remote and dangerous parts of Afghanistan, U.S. marines are on a mission to hunt down the Taliban. But in many places their security sweeps are proving counterproductive. More and more villagers are alleging they have been abused by marines. Carmela Baranowska's Taliban Country is a rare and damning insight into what U.S. forces are doing in remote Afghanistan. For three weeks, Carmela was embedded with the U.S. Marines in their remote forward operating Base. Suspicious of what was really happening, Carmela later became the only person in 2004 to return and independently cover this area. She was reported kidnapped by the Taliban but the source of reports of an abandoned vehicle and Taliban abduction of a Western woman have never been uncovered. Carmela obtained disturbing testimony from local villagers, some of which echo the sexual abuse documented at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Naval Base. They fingered us, beat us and humiliated us, alleges villager Wali Mohammad. No Muslim should suffer that. He claims he was imprisoned for three days by the marines after soldiers raided his village and accused him of providing food and shelter to Al Qaeda. His elderly father, Noor Mohammad Lala, was also arrested. They took my clothes. I could not do anything, Noor confides. Both men claim they were sexually abused and forced to pose for photographs. I was so humiliated I couldn't see for my pain, states Noor. The marines raid on their village of Passau was so offensive that locals want the camera to record every indiscretion. They used this as a toilet, says one man gesturing at the floor of a home. Their wheat harvest was destroyed and the mosque door battered down. As a result of this raid, many people have already left the village. Almost all the families are gone, complains the tribal elder bitterly. Our people are being forced to pack up and leave. Stories of abuse have tainted the U.S. military's entire efforts in this region. A few weeks after the raid, Major Alva Cook, Head of Civic Operations, visited the area with gifts of medicine, seeds and a radio. He asked if we needed anything, recalls the village elder. And I said, Don't humiliate us. For the villagers, the actions of the marines allies are as much to be feared as raids by the marines themselves. Local warlord Jan Mohammad has allied with the marines to hunt down the Taliban. But villagers claim that he is exploiting his new American connections to harass villages which belong to a different tribe. Their tribe, in their areas, have never been searched, one man complains. His friend claims that Mohammad's men recently beat and imprisoned several young children in an attempt to gain information. Ironically, as well as searching for Taliban and Al Qaeda members, the marines are also on a hearts and minds campaign to convince the locals the Americans are their friends. During an earlier raid, Major Alva Cook apologised to tribal elders for the extra dust their vehicles have kicked up. He also provides medical assistance while soldiers crack jokes with local militias about the surrounding poppy fields. But if the aim of the U.S. presence in Afghanistan is to remove the Taliban and Al Qaeda remnants and allow the country to embrace true democracy, they clearly still have a long way to go. In this remote corner of the country they are turning the local people against them. Some are being driven to join what remains of the Taliban. As the village leader summed up, Enough is enough. These Americans must be accountable to someone. Taliban Country, in addition to winning the Walkley Prize, will be recognized at the International Festival of Biarritz. The broadcast of the documentary on Australian television has led to two U.S. military investigations. Director: Carmela Baranowska. Producer: Carmela Baranowska. Production Company: Carmela Baranowska. Public Domain Film.

Something patriotic I threw together. The song is "The Taliban Song"-by Toby Keith. Comments are welcome! ALSO!!! If you don't love America, leave it! We don't need bitches like yall here anyway. And, for those of you who think that Bush and the governtment are forcing soldiers overseas. YOU'RE WRONG. When they signed their contract with the military, they signed it understanding that the US has the right to deploy them wherever our country needs them. My brother signed it knowing that and he's now in Iraq, and I could never express how proud I am to be his little sis. =]

Very good song, YOU MUST SEE & HEAR THIS!!!
"I've never been more popular in my life
Since I carry a big mat knife
I'm a little Taliban
I come from the country of Afganistan
If I'm gonna die in a big crash
It is the will of (allmighty) Allah
I didn't have the money for the vacation
So I joined the terrorist organization
I learned to fly a plane from a friend
But he forgot to teach me to land
I love my Papa, I love my Mama,
But most of all I love Osama.
I love my Papa, I love my Mama,
But most of all I love Osama.
I am feeling the most happy
When I hear the scream (aaaaaa) of yuppie
I don't care much where I'm going
Because I drive 707 Boeing
I make sure that USA will remember
The date of 11th of September
We choose this date because of this
Is the international day of peace
I love my Papa, I love my Mama,
But most of all I love Osama.
I love my Papa, I love my Mama,
But most of all I love Osama.
And I would be a real nice lot
If I wan't into Jihad
For just becauce of this one attack
Americans want to bomb us back
I know that repercussions would come
And it's a great commercial for Islam
It's not much but now I can
See my house on CNN
I love my Papa, I love my Mama,
But most of all I love Osama.
I love my Papa, I love my Mama,
But most of all I love Osama.
I love my Papa, I love my Mama,
But most of all I love Osama.
I love my Papa, I love my Mama,
But most of all I love Osama.
I love my Papa, I love my Mama,
But most of all I love Osama."
