-- last excerpt from link above

Nearly all the insurgents killed so far had escaped late last month from Kandahar city's main Sarposa prison, Bashary said. More than 480 militants escaped through a 300-meter long tunnel that took five months to dig.

The Taliban claimed more than 100 fighters took part in the Kandahar attack and said their goal was to take control of the city.

[ComradePashtun]

I really don't understand the rationale of some of their operation of this type and scale. Were they seriously thinking to capture the city with 30, 40, 60, or even 100 men and with limited ammunitation and weapons? What was the aim then? Just wreack havoc, but with loss of that many men, for what? Or is is this more for political reason? If this was not for political reason and fighting out of pure devotion then surely they could have made use of these men much more efficiently. Hypocrites, all are - both sides.

[ComradePashtun]

One think must be clear: neither is the U.S. there fighting against terror and nor are Taliban what they say they are. While both have mercilessly killed and maimmed Pashtuns.

[ComradePashtun]

While saying what I did, however, is it not the insurgency and how resilient and braoder that it is, not U.S's own making through its sheer stupidity and arrogance? Should they not have had a strategic foreseight of a political solution in 2003. But I guess they thought they owned everything.

And on top of that, I wont go in to too much details, the U.S. has blatantly tried its collective punishments on us Pashtuns, be through its military tactics, to politically and even who did not notice the mass media anti-Pashtun campaign. I guess some has to resist them.

[Pashtun_Ultranationalist]

Pakistan is just trying to cause havoc in Kandahar to put the attention there.

I guess the snow of Kabul isnt much important to them.

[ComradePashtun]

Fvck Pakistan there are enough internal reasons for what is happening. I know all about Pakistan and its intention.

Fvck Pakistan there are enough internal reasons for what is happening. I know all about Pakistan and its intention.

Comrade Vrora, most of these internal reasons occur due to Pakistans openess to Militants who are not a danger to their interests.

When Bin Laden died, there were protests in Quetta over his killing, its common-sense, these protestors associated with JUI were Talibs or Suspected Taliban fighters. Its very much obvious.

I think quite differently, Americans soft approach towards dealing with Taliban must hold onto a agenda, maybe they are allowing Anti-Shia elements of Taliban to hold sway, so if Iran war comes into place, America could re-use the Afghan model once more?

Evern during my stay in DI Khan, one can see openly Pak Police units salute Talib units, all over the Markets. Even I met with big commanders such as Baz Mohammad, and they all seemed to be strongly Pro-Pak.

An insider once told me, that there are 2000 talibs under the command of one Pak general in DI Khan alone, I dont have much info about the guys in Tank but Pakistan army has a lot of influence in the Taliban.

Do not worry, I hold onto my socialist beliefs strongly, I know the double role America plays, we can witness this in Libya, where former gitmo inmates are leading a Pro American Rebel group.

I am not easily misled or misguided, but in the case of Pakistan, it would be a valuable decision to use the same Americas to irritate the Pakistanis.

However, the case of Kandahar, Pakistan must play some role in this, as Kandahar and Quetta are very much connected areas, and with the killing of Bin laden, I suspect Pakistan is trying to give "Problems" to Americans there by motivating Taliban to attack them.

[ComradePashtun]

Yes but a solution still lays in Afghanistan to a much extend too. I don't agree with notion that Taliban should submit to U.S. supremacy in absolute term or Karzai. I am against Taliban being defeated. I hope they are never. I cannot trust U.S. and I don't have too much hope from Karzai. Taliban after all for me are still Pashtuns.

[ComradePashtun]

I know Pakistan has a role, but Talibs are not fighting for Pakistan, definately not.

[ComradePashtun]

U.S. and Pakis are on the same side, unless I clearly see them being not, so don't hold on to false hopes.

[ComradePashtun]

There are enough pissed of Pashtuns in Kandahar and they are warriors.

[gadoonwal]

an army of using ,,mascaras and lipsticks,,can ,nt fight to defend their country.
The world should stop the flow of dollars to this carrupt govt of afghanistan.With billions of dollars they can not even build a strong force to defend its country.
Like pakistan afghanistan is failed state.
.
Wait till the WEST leaves afghanistan.It will take only few days for pakistan to invade afghanistan from the south and east while iran will take the southwestren part of the country throu its agents such as ismail khan and khalili etc.
India will use dostum and punjsheris to keep its control over the north.

The pashtuns and afghans are money hungry.They will sell their country to anyone offer good price.Their history is written.
The pashtuns used by mugals against pashtuns for money and trible interests.The Sikh did the samething, when the peshawar valley pashtuns were fighting against the Sikhs the durani azam khan did,nt cross the river to help his fellow pashtuns cus he was sold out.
BROTHER kill brother for power and money,son trun against his father for money and power(like bahram turned against khoshal baba for mugals).
Grandfather like bacha khan baba spend most of his life in jail for his people but today his own family serving the punjabi masters for money.
The same punjabis called their grandpa ,,ghadar,,.
The entire pashtun leadership is punjabi boot licker.Even the pashtun leaders of afghanistan pledge their loyality to ,,isi,, and punjab for power.

With due respect comrade vrora, Taliban are not all Pashtuns, they oppose Pakhtunwali, their agenda is Islamic Supremacy and a cause for a global Khalifate, with us being poor mountain people, how are we going to sustain this campaign of conquering the world under the banner of al Islam(Not all Muslims).

Obviously such ideas, are going to be backed by Far right Clerical Arabs in the Middle east, and our region will once again been dragged into their evil clutches.

Always remmeber this, who were the Taliban, if they cared for the Pashtun people, they would have never allowed COl Imam to base himself in Herat, they would have never allowed Babar and his Western buddies from developing the Pipeline to Turkmenistan, and the Taliban were have never allowed Anti Indian, Punjabi Militant groups from operating on Pashtun soil, well Taliban allowed all of the above.

It has become a trend now a days to see Marxists/Socialists/Anti-War activists from aligning themselves with Far Right Religonist Parties, ignoring the fact that these same Far Right Clerics such as the JUI would toast a Socialist for Dinner or oppose thier views with a mightly curse.

Taliban need to be eradicated, and this can occur once Pakistan is subjected to a intolarated amount of pain and pressure, that is why educating the American people.

Comrada! Just imgine if America didnt attack, or bin laden was handed over, do you think Taliban would have not attended the Pakistan Military parades, or visit plush hotels and villas in Rawalpindi for Dinner or to celebrate Eid?

The American Invasion is a blessing, it exposed Pakistan and the Taliban alliance, it has given Pakistan a bad name, and it has helped those opposed to Pakistans imperialism with an insight to their sinister role for the last few decades.

As I said before, Americans have no cultural ties to the land, they will eventually leave, but I hope they do leave with a crumbled Pakistan.

How are we going to unite when the Taliban themselves are fighting eachother and have no organised agenda,

Plus, your patrioticism is going the wrong direction vrora, just because Taliban are Pashtuns does not mean we should support them, just because there are big drug dealers in Karachi who happen to be Pashtuns, does not mean we should support Drug dealers, as you said, your right, both sides are just as bad as eachother, but I sense a better advantage with the Americans and Nato than Taliban.
