PESHAWAR: The Afghan Taliban have said that they have made preparations for a long battle in the southwestern Helmand province.
“Taliban are not afraid of the planned major offensive by foreign forces in Helmand. We are happy that foreigners would come out of their bases and our fighters would attack them,” Mulla Sharfuddin, Taliban commander in Helmand, told the Afghan Islamic Press (AIP) by phone from an undisclosed location.
“Taliban are well aware of the enemies’ plan and they have already made preparations,” he claimed. Asked what kind of weapons the Taliban would use in the expected fighting, the Taliban commander said: “We have made all arrangements and divided the area under different commanders.
“We would use mines, heavy weapons and different military tactics in the fighting.” He said the people of Helmand were standing by the Taliban and foreign forces would not be able to force the Taliban out of the province.
He termed the foreign forces’ announcement of launching a major offensive in Helmand as a propaganda tactic and reminded that the foreigners had also mounted major attacks in the past but failed.
He maintained that the Taliban were very strong in the area and would defeat their enemy again. Asked whether Arab, Uzbek and other foreign fighters were present in the ranks of the Taliban, the commander insisted that all the fighters were Afghans.
He urged the Afghan police and soldiers to stop fighting against the Taliban. “I urge the Afghan National Army and the police not to fight against the Taliban. They should take part in Jihad along with the Taliban against the infidels. The foreigners have invaded Afghanistan and it is their duty to wage Jihad.”
About involvement in drug trade, Sharfuddin said the Taliban were not involved in poppy cultivation and drug trafficking. “The Taliban had banned drug cultivation during their rule,” he claimed. The commander said that most of the areas of Helmand, including Baghran, Baghni, Washer, Deshu, Brahmcha and Marja, were in the control of Taliban.

There's no need to stay and die, when you can just leave a few spotters to set off traps as the invaders move in, and use the rest of your force for more important operations later. with the invaders having to occupy the town rather than hide in their bases, they'll make easier targets later.
The NATO fuckers are clearly thinking the same thing, announcing a month in advance what they are going to do in the hope that the Taliban will leave and they can claim an easy 'victory'. This of course makes it tempting for the Taliban to accept the challenge and not make it easy for them. Unfortunately the NATO cowards will respond with aircraft to do the fighting whenever a Taliban unit opens up on the cowardly infantry, and the Taliban will have to withdraw eventually anyway.
By staying they may kill more invaders but will also lose a disproportionately high number of troops and it's far better to leave, let the cunts have their 'victory' and immediately afterward counterattack by infiltrating the town and fighting close quarters where the NATO slimes will have to fight hand to hand without air support.

as it would be kinda suicidal I think considering the overpowered high-tech weaponry the NATO excrements are certainly going to deploy in this attempt to massacre them with missiles from airplanes and helicopters, locating exactly their fighters positions from drones, AWACS and perhaps even satellites equipped with high resolution infrared sensors and the like.
But I think the Taliban aren't that stupid. I hope they aren't.

I'm a proud American and I hate to break the news to you but the US Marines will fuck the Taliban up in any environment with or without air support.If we can kill more stupid fucks like deathtodubya without even having to set foot on the ground then so be it. American people are kind and dont want war and death, we simply want to raise our children in peace. But morons like deathtodubya need to understand that if you push the American people enough we will and can destroy everything you and everything around you, just ask the Japanese.

but when I see garbage for comments, I am forced to respond. The neanderthal idiot above who calls himself PlymouthRock really ought to think before he writes:
""American people are kind and dont want war and death, we simply want to raise our children in peace.""
If what you are saying is true, then why did America invade Afghanistan? The last time I checked, they were no Taleban on american soil threatening anybody but over 100,000 american troops and mercenaries occupying Afghanistan and killing innocent Afghanis with their drone strikes.
You really can't be serious about this garbage that you have written here. And if you are, I think you need to go check into some form of mental assylum.

As always the Talibans will move out their big forces, leave in some men, and then trap the weak AmeriCunts by killing these pigs with IEDs. In the meantime they will open new fronts elsewhere. The AmeriCunts are too pussified and weak to do any fighting that is not from the air. Im so happy everytime i see those mutilated pigs with their silly parents screaming. AmeriCunts are nothing but feces, i love the fact that a huge number of these feces are going back home mutilated. Everyone knows that the typical AmeriCunt is a weak and coward bastard. Jokes about how pussified americunt males are abounds all over the world. AmeriCunt is the big joke now, nobody is scared of pussified feminized burger-munching faggots, like americunt males are.

How Ironic that the Fabian Strategy employed by the Taliban, was the same strategy Gen. George Washington used during the American Revolution against the British Imperialists.

What a funny post. Typical Septic drivel from someone disconnected from reality. If you're such a 'smart, tough guy' then why are you beating off to prOn on the interwebz instead of volunteering for Afghanistan duty?
Americans won't be pushed around eh? Like they weren't pushed around by the North Koreans, Chinese, Vietnamese, Cubans...The Americunts fled with their cowardly tails between their legs, and this will be the same in Afghanistan and Iraq.

I can only imagine which pathetic countries you people are from. You all seem to mis-understand my statement, it is only the american people's will that stops the US military. If the American people wanted Iran or N. Korea we'd take it. Americans value life so yes we dont want to see our soldiers die in stupid wars.We are in Afghanistan becuase of 9/11 so if you are upset about that then you need to bitch about the people that rammed airliners into buildings killing thousands of inocents including many muslims. You fucktards are the ones that are not in reality, I bet you think these people are heros for standing up to the west eventhough we were not in Afghanistan before 9/11
You're all a little retarded but thats ok just make sure you wear your helmet and mouthguard. I'm an american and I like many americans are really tired of Israel pushing around the Palestinians but killing inoccent people will never be justified and will never have a positive impact.

Go to U-tube and pull down the videos by former governor of one of your american states, Jesse Ventura about the 9/11 cover-up and HAARP, the earthquake triggering weapon that the americans have in Alaska and then come back to us with some more realistic talk.
For your information, neither Afghanistan nor Iraq had anything to do with 9/11.

You are 100% correct about Iraq, the US had no right or reason to invade Iraq. So please dont tell me that I'm unrealistic and ignorant. I'm a proud American and like many Americans I wish the current goverment would put George Bush and his buddies on trial for sending troops to Iraq.
But it's a fact that Osama BL and AQ were behind 911, and the were running thier operation in Afghanistan. At the time I wished the US carpet bombed the entire country (trust me we could\can). But that would make us as bad as them and killed a lot of innocent people. So we send end troops instead of leveling the place. It is true that where there is war there are innocent people killed, even with smart bombs and precision weapons. But again, we had the right and the motive to go in Afghanistan. What were we suppose to do?
Im aware of Jesse Ventura and his new TV show but he was also an ex pro-wrestler and actor, not sure why I would take his word for anything.
what it comes down to is this, no matter what the USA does we will always be the bad guy. The US goverment is shady but compared to goverments like Iran and China the US isn't so bad. So much American-bashing on this site but nobody says a word about what the Iranian goverment is doing to it's own people, oh right that's America's fault too.

are you Gunny Hartman? I thought you had died. Just think for a moment. I know it's hard to do for some people. All of this global murder and mayhem being carried out by your "fine" country is predicated on an uninvestigated criminal case that took place in one of your cities. That's 9/11. Wouldn't a sensible people like to know who was behind that BEFORE they set out to blow up half the world? Now by accounts we hear that your government decided on this course of action even before 9/11. Your government would seem to be the problem. Perhaps you should focus your anger in that direction?

I for one have little to no sympathy for Ahmadinejad and the Iranian mullahs but seriously, they are lambs compared to what the US/UK/Israel/NATO are doing.
And FWIW, yes it is America's fault, as if the democratic Mossadegh government hadn't been overthrown by the US and the UK in 53 to be replaced by a ruthless monarchy, there would never have been this islamist revolution.
What's more is that the consolidation of power of the islamists over Iran after the overthrow of the Shah is largely due to the covert and massive supply of weapons to them by the US and Israel that occured from 1979 to at least 1986. Never heard of the Iran Contra perhaps?

Yes the US had it's eye on the Taliban before 911 but didnt do anything about it. Becuase if we did it would be seen as once again the US attacking innocent peace loving people for no reason. I never said the US goverment was perfect or didn't do bad things, unfortunatly the American people really dont have control over that. But thanks for pointing out that the problems in Iran are America's fault, thats just another pathetic example of nodody accepting their own responsiblity.
Oh wait, let me guess, the middle east would be such a peaceful place if the US didnt exist right? Because the US should never get involved in offshore affairs right? Think about this, just like Iran and Iraq kept each other in check, imagine if the US didn't exist. What do you think the world would look like with Russia (former USSR) being the single superpower for all those years? You think the US is bad? you have no idea. Whenever a world tragedy happens, who is the 1st country to help and spend millions, if not billions in aid? Those are the times when people say the US didn't get involved enough. You cant have it both ways.
I wonder what would have happened if the US just minded it's own business when the Nazi's were attacking Europe?Oh right you are probably the same people that say the holocuast never happened. I bet that was all propaganda too right?

I am thinking that there is perhaps (certainly) less "problems" (as you say) in Iran than there are in the US.
What's your beef with iran, that they aren't what you'd call a "democracy" perhaps?
But is there any democracy in the US?
Your own answer is no as you say the american really don't have any control over the government.
So what?
And now, which country between Iran and the US has the highest percentage of its population held in prisons?
And which country between the two has the highest percentage of executions of its own citizens?
I'll tell you, it's the US who wins hands down in both...

Certainly the US is directly responsable for most (90%+) of the unnatural deaths who took place in the ME since WWII.
I shall explain it precisely if you happen to disagree.

Well, when you witness the repeated fact that any historian, (not speaking about unqualified conspiracy reasearchers), who publishes findings contradicting the holocaust gospel in any minute way, is thrown in prison instead of having his work analyzed and criticized, then you begin to grow serious doubts as to the veracity of the whole thing, don't you?

This is why I decided to join this site, I wanted to see the ignorance outside the USA.Some of your comments I agree with, some I dont, but others are just pure nonsense. So you are basically telling me that you have doubts the holocaust is real? How does one even argue with such madness? Remember it just wasn't the jews ther were slaughtered, what did your countries do to fight the Nazis? Did your soldiers walk into the nazi camps and see 1st hand? If it wasn't for the US and Russia the ME would have been the next target on Hitler's list. If he tought the jews were sub-human imagine what he would have done with brown skinned arabs. I'm not jewish by the way, and the holocaust does not give the Israelis the right to steal the Palestinian's homes and land but to deny the holocaust is to deny sanity. I'm not from the ME so yes you guys no nore than I do about whats going on there, this is why I search for media outside the US to get the whole picture, thats why Im here. I also dont know where you people get your facts about the comparision between the US and Iran and I also dont see the point about the percentage in jail and executions, whats your point? Guess what, in the US you can protest against the goverment without fear of being throw in jail or killed. In the US you can walk down the street and be proud to be a muslim, jew, christian, etc without fearing for your life. Again the US is far from perfect but it just gets tiring to hear everyone blame their problems soley on the US.
I guess it's just natural to blame everything on the most powerful country in the world. But I'd much rather the most powerful military in the world be controlled by Obama rather than people like Ahmadinejad. By the way I dont have any problems against Iran, its the freak in charge that I dont like. In fact I admire the Iranian people, to stand up like they do and risk everything for what they believe in has caught the world's attention. The American people are behind the Iranian people but the US cannot get involved, we can only pray.

out of almost every single thing I have said please.
I did not say the US was responsible for everything bad in the world for example I only said it was IMO directly responsible for 90%+ of all the unnatural deaths that occured in the ME since WWII.
As for the "Holocaust" I told you one of the reasons why I have serious doubts about the veracity of it but you refuse to listen to it simply saying it is madness to have such an opinion and then you come up with some non-arguments to prove it such as the fact that the US liberated Nazi concentration camps... The fact that the US army found concentration camps full of starving people nearing death for lack of food is no proof of the "holocaust" in any way, it only proves the german system was so badly disrupted towards the end of the war that it could not supply food to those prisonners anymore.
Btw did you know that one of the men that has been the most instrumental in the rise of Hitler, Ernst Hanfstaengel, was a dual Swiss-American citizen who first met Hitler as an envoy of the US military?
Do you know that this Ernst Hanfstaengel served as an unpaid all-purpose advisor to Hitler and the Nazi Party for more than ten years, that he financed the printing of Hitler's daily anti-semitic propaganda organ the newspaper Volckisher Beobachter, and that despite this big part he played, he not only never got fingerpointed as one of the men who facilitated the "holocaust" but even enjoyed a great friendship with such prominent US jews as the actor Charles Chaplin until the end of his life...
Can you explain how Chaplin who made movies against Hitler in the US during the war could possibly be Hanfstaengel's great buddy afterwards if there really had been an "Holocaust" he greatly helped to come about by his decade long dedication to the nazi party and financing of Hitler's daily anti-semitic propaganda?
The answer as I see it is that the whole point of WWII was to credibly pass the jews as the victims of the most horrible crime there has ever been, and on the basis of that, force the creation of the state of Israel in the ME in its immediate aftermath.
As for the ME what I am seeing is that WWI collapsed the Ottoman Empire and the UK forces "liberated" Jerusalem in 1917 at the same time the British government voiced its sympathy for the creation of an Israeli state with the Balfour declaration. Unsucessful attempts were then made at the UN precursor, the Society Of Nation, to create a state of Israel and it finally took Hitler and above all the "holocaust" to manage to get it after WWII. Since then the US and the UK have been directly responsible for nearly all the shit that went on in the ME and 90%+ of all the unnatura deaths that took place in this region until today, and this for the sole benefit of Israel IMO, the control of oil being only a smokescreen.
As for Obama he is a mass-murdering psychopath and liar that does not seem to me to be any better than Bush, sending people to their death in wars while having fun and enjoying a great time at the White House.

"The US goverment is shady but compared to goverments like Iran and China the US isn't so bad"
I must tell you that when you make a claim you are supposed to produce the evidence to substantiate it. Where is the evidence?
I am not going to attempt to defend the records of neither Iran nor China but suffice it to say that these two countries are no way near the US in commission of atrocities. Let me tell you what I immediately recall about this situation.
My research tells me that the US is the only country that has ever used nuclear weapons in war; and they used it on the civilian populations of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In Vietnam, they used Agent Orange and Napalm. In Fallujah they used depleted uranium munitions. To add insult to injury, Japan had officially surrendered but the US had a strong message to send to the rest of the world--"don't mess with us".
I ask you to jog my memory and remind me (because I am becoming old and foolish) of any wars that either China or Iran had inititated in the past 100 years. Don't talk about the 1980-88 Iran/Iraq war because Saddam Hussein was the initiator of that war; and he was doing the US' bidding.
China invaded and occupied Tibet sometime in the late 40s early 50s, also they fought a war with India sometime in 1962, I think it was; but apart from evicting the Japanese during the Pacific theatre, I am not aware of any other wars fought by China.
However, your country has invaded, attacked, bombed, occupied so many countries during this period that they are too numerous to mention. Even something as simple as Panama and Manuel Noreiga, the US had to bomb the country to bits killing 3000 people in the process to arrest one man, when sanctions against the country could have done the job.
Also factor into this equation all the governments that the CIA would have overthrown in Latin America and other countries and the killing sprees that ensued and also the legitimate Government of Iran in 1953 of Mr Mossadegh--not sure I spelt the name right.
And you are still telling me that US is not as bad as Iran or China? Something has to be wrong with your ability to understand. But truth be told, we don't see our own mistakes; they usually have to be pointed out for us.
You question Jesse Ventura's integrity; how come you are not questioning the integrity of your former and present leaders and their supporting media like Fox news; when these entities would have been repeatedly broadcasting stories the veracity of which was not properly checked out?
You apparently operate on the premise that western authorities don't lie; I think you need to wake up and smell the coffee. Have you not observed that the current budget of your nation is heavily focussed on military spending with many cuts in social programs?
Sir, do you really believe the nonsensical claim by Bush--"they hate us for our freedom"? If your answer is in the affirmative, I would have to permit you the last word because we would certainly be getting no where with this tete a tete.

1st of please know this, I hate Bush, I've always hated him. Nobody but the dumbest of americans believe his bullshit about "freedom haters" I think Bush was the worst president in american history, I almost cried when he was re-elected.
BTW the US didnt find just a few starving jews in Europe and you forget about the Russians, they found most of the concentration camps. I dont mean to insult but to have doubts about the holocuast is just unbelievable to me, how do you explain the miliions of missing people that just vanished?
Yes the US is the only country to drop an atomic bomb but if you look at history you will know that the alternatives would have cost much, much more lives. At the time the US had to make sure Japan was never a threat again so they could not accept anything less than a full surrender, If the US didnt drop the bombs the war would probably still be going on today.
Again I think a lot of this goes back to the US has been the big boy on the block so yes we have done a lof of wrong, I've said that many times now but yet you people keep on telling me that Im ignorant.
My point is that American has also done a lot of good things, or atleast tried to. The second most powerful country has also done many terrible things (Russia) remember that US supported the Afghans when Russia tried to invade. What I'm trying to say is the more power the country to more bad things they do. The US might be a bully but watch China, they are fucking everyone right now by keeping thier currency way under value. The more powerful they get the more bad things they will do.

Look up Bulov's article #207857 on the numbers of Ashkenazis who died at Auschwitz. Ashkenazis BTW are descendants of a people who converted to Judaiism in the northern Caucausus and can trace their heritage as Jews only back to 800AD before which they were pagans. These are the ones who profit and continue to profit from the holocaust myth. They also run the racist state of Israel which persecutes the Palestinians who are the real descendants of the ancient Jews and early Christians. And your country is totally beholden to the state of Israel. Not so Iran however that's why you have been led by Fox/CNN etc to believe Iran is evil and Ahmedinejad is another Hitler. Nothing could be further from the truth.
