6,000 troops urgently needed in Afghanistan: NATO
- Text size
Boston Globe
June 23, 2008
BERLIN (Reuters) – Up to 6,000 additional troops are urgently needed in Afghanistan and a failure to deploy them will only prolong the presence of Western forces in the country, a German NATO general said on Sunday.

Egon Ramms told public radio station Deutschlandfunk that alliance members would end up paying a price later if they did not boost troop numbers now.
“We are talking about a total of 5,000, 6,000 soldiers,” Ramms said. “We need these soldiers now, very soon, because we need to hold specific areas, we need to win over Afghanistan’s citizens and because at some point, in 2010, 2011 or 2012 we will want to hand over responsibility to Afghan forces.
Roughly 60,000 foreign troops are in Afghanistan, most of them part of the NATO-led International Security and Assistance Force (ISAF), but security has deteriorated over the past two years.
Some 6,000 people were killed in 2007, the deadliest year since U.S.-led and Afghan forces toppled the Taliban in 2007.

Its a crying shame those troops, for the most part,dont see how they’re being used. The other part don’t care.

There are army recruitment (cheap-print-out-from-MS-Word-type) flyers posted to the telephone pole in front of my house since a few days ago. Anyone else seeing this seemingly desperate measure of recruitment? In other news a relative in Iraq is saying that lots of soldiers are committing suicide, so I don’t think everyone over there is naive to what is going on. What are we supposed to do though – if our government is entirely corrupt, and our internet is nearing being shut down… where is the hope? I’m open for ideas.

Just clean out the prisons and take the people on welfare and drop them in Afghanistan. If the soldiers can stand around like keystone cops and let an entire prison of a 1000 Taliban escape, the soldiers must be bored. They can use their new playmates for mine clearing or target practice as frontline greeters. They can even give them Walmart aprons to wear on the front lines (no guns of course, maybe the odd explosive vest).

I hate these mockers! They use human lives as their ammunition in war. Like a drug Barron uses, drug trafficker’s to supply his drug’s. Government uses human lives (solders) in order to maintain their power. They manipulate the minds of the poor and uneducated to work for them in their interests.

Some facts by the mouth of Karzai
Publication time: 23 June 2008, 15:45
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
All Praise and thanks are due to Allah, the Lord of all that exists and may peace and prayers be upon the Messenger of Allah, his family, companions in entirety.
The courageous people of Afghanistan will continue their struggle, with the aid of Allah who has confessed the enemy by their own tongues, that they have actually started to speak against the cruelness and crimes which the people of Afghanistan are being subjugated to, the external forces who invaded by the support of their puppets had plan to destroy the people and the country. It is clear that the corruption is up to the high ranks of the puppets administration, to a point were the puppet president of Kabul is not able to hide the facts from Afghan people and the world, thus the invaders can no longer cheat the nation of Afghanistan anymore.
Karzai has publicly acknowledged the corruptions of the governors, when he was talking to “Spiegel” a popular Germen newspaper few days back, he said “the high level officials and advisers were involved in the looting of national wealth, usurpation of governmental and private properties, they are involved in the smuggling of narcotics and are partners in the world crimes”.
Karzai has openly confessed that the world associations brought the unsteadiness to Afghanistan, they disgrace the constitution of Afghanistan, by banishing people from the administration who stood up for the betterment of Afghanistan and replaced them with the people who supported the criminals and mass killing of the innocent people at the hands of the invaders and its puppets.
Talking to the Germen News paper he said: “I once wanted to arrest a militant commander, but I could not because a foreign country was supporting him, it gives him $ 30,000 for every month” he also added “We have hundreds of criminals in the government who are supported by the foreign countries”.
During this interview Karzai expressed that he wished, “that the Taliban were his force\”, our Mujahid nation has very closely observed that since last seven years that neither foreign forces have sympathy to the people of Afghanistan nor their hand pick administration of Kabul, which does not have any national and Islamic identification, but Karzai who took over the presidency of Kabul by the power of foreign forces, intellectuals, scholars and writers who were all parroting the script of the invaders, by telling the people of Afghanistan, that the external forces will build up the country, bring peace, security and observe the sovereignty of the law, but now Karzai has publicly admitted the corruption which exists in his administration due to the lank of sincerity for the bettering of Afghanistan among the hand picked puppets, as compare to the pure intention of Taliban.
We think that he has recognized that the Taliban are the only people who are truly working for the establishment of an independent Afghanistan, which is free from all types of corruptions. Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan suggesting that Karzai and his followers should except the realities by apologise to the nation and give their resignations as soon as possible, so that the real rebuilding of Afghanistan can began with out any type of foreign intervention.
