Afghanistan to Get Worse Before It Gets BetterPosted on Sep 4, 2010
At the same time that Afghan President Hamid Karzai organizes a nationwide council to try to broker peace with Taliban insurgents, the U.K.‘s senior military commander forecasts that violence in Afghanistan will get worse before it gets better. After nine years of war and rising casualties, Lt. Gen. Sir Nick Parker is claiming “we are going up the hill into the enemy at the moment.” And, while not to be snide, one must wonder what they were doing before—hanging out at base camp? Also, check out this link to a report on Karzai’s attempt to diplomatically engage the Taliban. —JCL

Always with the ‘new’ councils, committees, organizations and so
forth and so on. What are these ‘new’ things going to do that is
anything different that would stop a hegemonic deliberate attack
for shits and giggles and fun and profits and benefits for none
but the perpetrators.
Remember the reality, this karfarti is just as corrupt as any

And we will leave with that country in more precarious state then we found it….nothing will have been accomplished for the long haul, we will have wasted billions upon billions of our money adding to the deficit that is already killing our economy and lost many lives, done nothing but inflame the hate that fuels the “terrorists” and no one will even be asking why anymore….sounds alot like Iraq to me. The only entity that profits from it all are the parasitic companies that do all they can to keep it going ( the Halliburtons and Blackwaters ).

No win. The deluded coporate warmongers have to deal with it. We don’t care any more about the
Report thisAfghanis than the Iraqis. What a waste of lies and money - our economic crash is in one sense a blessing in disguise so the warmongers with a hardon for the Middle East will have attention drawn away from their imperialistic agenda.

The longer we stay there the greater our chance of having our clock cleaned.
We are in Afghanistan for the wrong reason and therefore will not succeed.

After nine years of war and rising casualties, Lt. Gen. Sir Nick Parker is claiming “We are going up the hill into the enemy at the moment. Doing a little Paki bashing just over the border here in The Valley of Death. Bloody Wogs. I awoke at 4 AM with the strangest feeling, you know. I felt as if the spirits of Lawrence of Arabia and Gordon of Khartoum were with me there in the tent. I got up, made some tea and reread the letter former Prime Minister Tony Blair sent me wishing me Godspeed in my new command.”

After British rule, India has been under C.I.A.-rule. I am India’s expert in strategic defence and the father of India’s strategic program, including the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program. I have shown in my blog titled ‘Nuclear Supremacy For India Over U.S.’, which can be found by a Google search with the title, that all terrorism and insurgencies in the Indian subcontinent and in much of the rest of the world is sponsored by the C.I.A. Both Pakistan’s ISI and India’s RAW function as branches of the C.I.A. and participate in terrorism and insurgencies throughout the Subcontinent, under direction of the C.I.A. Yes, the ISI secretly supports the Taliban but it does so under direction from the C.I.A. whose modus operandi is support for ALL sides of a conflict to control the course of the conflict in service of its own goals. The goal of the U.S. invasion and occupation of Afghanistan and partial occupation of Pakistan is eventual occupation and overt colonial rule over the Subcontinent as a whole. This will not be permitted and all those participating in this enterprise, including the U.K., will be duly punished; see my blog. The document leak currently in the news has been made in preparation for abandonment of this goal and withdrawal from Afghanistan because of steps I have already taken for the nuclear destruction of New Delhi and then the coast-to-coast destruction of the United States by India with 5,000 thermonuclear warheads and extermination of its population; see my blog. It also shows how India has been kept economically and technologically down by military means and how exterminating the United States’ population will solve that problem.
Report thisThis is what I said about Indians’ slavery to the white man a few years ago; see my blog: “The refusal by pieces of filth such as Advani to recognise the United States as India’s number one enemy is sustained by thousands of C.I.A.-RAW-inspired headlines in India’s media such as “Indian-American becomes Governor of Louisiana” which should instead say “Indian rewarded for conversion to Christianity with governorship: As reward for conversion to Christianity at age 18, as Americans themselves admit and his numerous published essays and articles on his conversion, Indian made Secretary of Louisiana’s Health and Hospitals at age 24, President of the University of Louisiana system at age 27, then Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services in Bush Administration, then member of U.S. Congress and now youngest Governor in U.S. at age 36”. Even more important are the thousands of headlines that are missing from India’s media, thanks to C.I.A.-RAW, the story they really don’t want anyone to know, saying “India’s greatest scientist and greatest living Indian publicly tortured in Harvard seminar, systematically and totally starved for up to 3 weeks at a time, made semi-starved and homeless and even blind for years, kept under 24-hour audio and video surveillance as well as surveillance of communications and electrical typewriter and computer use, document creation and photocopying, etc., by satellite for more than past 3 decades, systematically harassed and in poverty and neutralised and robbed of his work at the cost of hundreds of millions of dollars per year, robbed of crores in his money and property in India by C.I.A.-RAW, forced back into exile in the U.S., all with full cooperation and participation of India’s RAW and India’s C.I.A.-RAW-controlled prime ministers, politicians and media—to keep India poor, weak and enslaved: The most intelligent, most handsome man on Earth, a living Incarnation, plans nuclear supremacy for India in near future, to destroy India’s number one enemy, the United States, with ten thousand nuclear-armed missiles and will machine gun and bulldoze into trenches all traitors who stand in the way.” Since then I have said they will be destroyed by the nuclear destruction of New Delhi; see my blog.
