Fourteen year-old Girl Shot by Taliban in Critical Condition After Surgery

More love and tolerance from the cult of peace and tolerance:

Class Dismissed: A 2009 documentary by Adam B. Ellick profiled Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani girl whose school was shut down by the Taliban. Ms. Yousafzai was shot by a gunman on Tuesday.

KARACHI, Pakistan — At the age of 11, Malala Yousafzai took on the Taliban by giving voice to her dreams. As turbaned fighters swept through her town in northwestern Pakistan in 2009, the tiny schoolgirl spoke out about her passion for education — she wanted to become a doctor, she said — and became a symbol of defiance against Taliban subjugation.

17 Afghans Beheaded in Insurgent Attack on Party

 Comment by Jim Campbell

From the cult of love and tolerance it’s called letting the punishment fit the crime.  Islam isn’t a religion it’s a disease.

By HEIDI VOGT and MIRWAIS KHAN  CBS
Kandahar, Afghanistan August 27, 2012 (AP)

Insurgents beheaded 17 civilians in a Taliban-controlled area of southern Afghanistan, apparently because they attended a dance party that flouted the extreme brand of Islam embraced by the militants, officials said Monday.

KANDAHAR: Seventeen civilians including two women were beheaded in a southern Afghanistan village in a region plagued by the Taliban insurgency, officials said Monday.

“Last night 17 local villagers, two women and 15 men, were beheaded by unknown people in Kajaki district,” Daud Ahmadi, a spokesman for the Helmand provincial administration, told AFP.

The killings, in a district where U.S. Marines have battled the Taliban for years, were a reminder of how much power the insurgent group still wields in the south — particularly as international forces draw down and hand areas over to Afghan forces.

The victims were part of a large group that had gathered late Sunday in Helmand province’s Musa Qala district for a celebration involving music and dancing, said district government chief Neyamatullah Khan. He said the Taliban slaughtered them to show their disapproval of the event.

All of the bodies were decapitated but it was not clear if they had been shot first, said provincial government spokesman Daoud Ahmadi.

Report: Talks Between U.S. And Taliban Falter As Taliban Refuses Cease-Fire

Commentary by Jim Campbell
This is nothing but another attempted face-saving charade on behalf of the clueless Obama Administration as they desperately go to their usual strategy of  “cut and run.”
While US negotiators  come home and talk of victory the entire world knows the US has sold out the Afghan people and they will soon be once again under the oppression of Shari law.
These guy live to fight and are prepared to do so for the rest of their wretched lives.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, I’m J.C. and I approve this message.

One bit of good news in this is that the U.S. actually demanded substantive action from the Taliban and not just words, as prior reports implied. An update on this story. “US, Taliban talks on prisoner swap falter,” by Mustaf Yusufzai for NBC News January 29:

A temporary cease fire?

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Talks between the Afghan Taliban and the United States in Qatar almost failed as the Taliban leadership reportedly refused to accept the U.S. demand of a ceasefire before swapping prisoners.

Sources in the Afghan Taliban said the Taliban had set up an office in Qatar hoping that it would help in a prisoners’ swap, especially for their five top commanders held at the Guantanamo Bay base since 2002.

The Taliban sources said their talks with the U.S. had been going for the past few years in exchange for an American soldier, Bowe Bergdahl, captured by Taliban militants in Afghanistan’s Paktika province in June 2009, bordering Pakistan’s South Waziristan.

Pakistan: Taliban Attacks Girls’ School, One Policeman Killed…

Bare Naked Islam
PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AFP) — A bomb attack on a girls’ school in northwest Pakistan on Tuesday killed a policeman, wounded eight others and destroyed a wall, police said.

The remote-controlled bomb was planted at the outer wall of the government-run middle school in the outskirts of Mardan town in troubled Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, which borders Afghanistan.

Because a girl who can read and write is “un-Islamic.”

The bomb exploded after police arrived to investigate complaints about a suspicious plastic bag outside the school, which was closed at the time.

“One policeman was killed and eight other people including five civilians were wounded,” Zeshan Haider, Mardan police chief, told AFP by telephone.

13 Year-Old Girl Trained By Taliban to Be Suicide Bomber

The Future of Afghanistan

by sheikyermami

Motherly Love:

IRAQI security forces have arrested a woman whose boyfriend convinced her to send her little boy on a suicide mission and then failed to stop the attack after she had a change of heart.

She was arrested in Diyala province, while the boyfriend, Hamid Alwan, 53, was detained in Baghdad.

According to the officer, Alwan convinced Obaidi to send nine-year-old Murtada Latif Kadhem to bomb a Shi’ite mosque in Khales, north of Baghdad, several years ago.

Sunni widow Suad al-Obaidi, 47, was arrested on Friday along with her allegedly al-Qaeda boyfriend, a Diyala police officer said.

Alwan “took her son with her … by car to the Shi’ite mosque but, on the way there, she started to cry about her son,” the officer said.

“He put her out of the car, and took the son, who was wearing an explosive belt, to the mosque, where he blew himself up.”

On Thursday, a suicide bomber and a car bomb targeted Sahwa militiamen near Baquba, north of Baghdad, killing five people and wounding 26, an army officer and a doctor said.

The ally from hell and are we capable of dealing with them?

The Nation

By: Jeffrey Goldberg And Marc Ambinder

Comment by Jim Campbell

An excellent read confronting the problems with a nuclear Pakistan and the major problems that exist with proliferation of nuclear material.  For the record this author has proved with certainty on numerous articles on this site that the alleged take down and subsequent killing of Osama bin Laden was a timely lie coming from an overwhelmed Obama administration.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, I’m J.C. and I approve this message.

The ally from hell

General Kayani, the most powerful man in a country that has only a simulacrum of civilian leadership, had been busy in the tense days that followed the bin Laden raid.

He had to assure his American funders (US taxpayers provide more than $2 billion in annual subsidies to the Pakistani military) that the army had no prior knowledge of bin Laden’s hideout, located less than a mile from Pakistan’s preeminent military academy; and at the same time he had to subdue the uproar within his ranks over what was seen as a flagrant violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty by an arrogant Barack Obama. But he was also anxious about the safety of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons, and he found time to express this worry to General Kidwai.

Afghanistan Weekly War Update: NATO Convoy Attacked Near Kabul

Stratfor Global Intelligence Report

Attack Outside of Kabul

At approximately 11:20 a.m. on Oct. 29, a suicide vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) detonated in the Darulaman area, west of the Afghan capital of Kabul. The attack targeted an armored bus believed to be transporting soldiers and civilians from Camp Julien, a counterinsurgency school, to Camp Phoenix, a U.S. base that trains Afghan soldiers and policemen. Five foreign servicemen and eight civilians were killed in the blast, including two British contractors employed by U.S. construction and engineering firm Fluor. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack and vowed to continue targeting foreign forces until they completely withdraw from the country.

A Week in the War: Afghanistan, Sept. 1-7, 2010

According to a U.S. official, the attack specifically targeted the bus, known as a Rhino, which was escorted by two armored vehicles. Given route limitations and their role as shuttles, Rhinos are prone to predictable patterns of behavior, and they are readily recognizable and distinct from any other vehicle on the road. That the Taliban had conducted pre-operational surveillance on the vehicles’ route is notable.

On July 24, Darulaman, located in Kabul province, became one of the first areas where coalition troops officially handed over security duties to Afghan forces. This transfer has not meant that NATO’s International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) personnel have ceased operating in the area. It is reasonable to deduce that any reaction to an incident involving ISAF troops will include ISAF forces. In the aftermath of the Oct. 29 attack, two NATO helicopters were used to airlift victims as coalition soldiers on loudspeakers told onlookers to leave the area.

Karzai trapped in no-man’s land

By M K Bhadrakumar

Asia Times

The big question now is will Karzi wait to get assassinated or go into exile?

Afghan President Hamid Karzai has made his first political move a week after the assassination of the head of the Afghan High Peace Council and former president, Burhanuddin Rabbani.


Following a meeting in Kabul that included tribal elders, legislative chairmen, cabinet ministers, former mujahideen commanders and his two vice presidents, Karzai’s office issued a statement on Wednesday admitting that a question mark should be on the Taliban’s capacity to take independent decisions, implying they were merely a Pakistani proxy.


The statement suggested that Karzai no more regards the Taliban as his errant “brothers”, which used to be his preferred epithet to describe the insurgents. “During our three-year efforts for peace,the Taliban has martyred our religious ulema, tribal elders, women, children, old and young. By killing Rabbani, they showed they are not able to take decisions. Now, the question is [whether we should seek] peace with whom, which people?”

Karzai’s retraction
It is a belated confession by Karzai, necessitated by the force of circumstances, as he gropes for a way forward. Conceivably, it need not be taken as the final word. Karzai is grandstanding. Rabbani’s departure has left Karzai stranded in a no-man’s land where he stands all by himself – derided by the Taliban, disowned by the United States and despised by the many fuming detractors within the erstwhile Northern Alliance (NA) groups whom he sidelined and kept out of office.

The Haqqani Factor in U.S.-Pakistan-Taliban Negotiations

Stratfor GeoPolitical Intelligence Reports

Shortly following a major attack in Kabul, the Haqqani network, one of the three key elements to negotiating an end to the U.S. war in Afghanistan, said that it was ready to enter negotiations.

This is a key piece of the puzzle to fall into place, as back-channel talks are taking place between the United States and the Taliban, and Afghanistan, the Taliban and the Haqqani network are working together in trying to shape their collective negotiating position.

On Saturday, Sirajuddin Haqqani, the leader of the Haqqani network, said in a rare phone interview with Reuters that if the Taliban takes part in negotiations with the U.S. and Afghan government, then so will the Haqqani network.

The Taliban Strategy in Afghanistan: Stratfor Global Intelligence Reports

Stratfor Global Intelligence Report

The past week’s attacks by the Taliban on the U.S. Embassy in Kabul may not yet have had a psychological impact on the United States, but it does cast doubt on the Obama administration’s claims of progress in the war. STRATFOR CEO Dr. George Friedman suggests the well-planned strike was aimed at improving the Taliban’s negotiating position.

As Obama still refuses to admit one cannot negotiate in good faith with those who have taken an oath to kill us.  

Colin: In Agenda this week, just when U.S. coalition commanders and political leaders are assuring us they’re making solid progress in Afghanistan, the Taliban exposed the inability of security forces to protect prime targets in Kabul, like the U.S. embassy and NATO headquarters. Eventually, their attackers quashed, but to what extent have the Taliban delivered a psychological blow to the United States and its allies?

Colin: Welcome to Agenda with George Friedman. George, the Taliban operation failed militarily but it has people thinking, hasn’t it?

George: Well, first, let’s define what happened. There was an attack on a complex of facilities, command and control facilities, in Afghanistan. The battle went on for 24 hours. It was demonstrated that the Taliban was able to penetrate the defenses and that it would take very long time for Western forces, allied forces, to root them out.

Turkey in talks to open Taliban “political” office in Istanbul

Jihad Watch

By Jim Campbell

We must never forget the 10th Mountain Division trained in snow warfare from Ft. Drum, NY was staged on the Turkish border with agreements made. Their assignment, seal off the mountains of Tora Bora in Afghanistan where Osama bin Laden was supposed to be hiding.  As the attack began, the Turks would not let our soldiers from the 10th cross the border. 

It’s time to assess Turkey’s position in NATO, That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, I’m J.C.

Hamid Karzai came out in favor of such a proposal this past December, and Pakistan has expressed its approval in the report below. This sets the stage for the Taliban to follow the model of Hamas and Hizballah, and to seek legitimacy under the guise of allegedly compartmentalized operations.

It also increases the likelihood of fools’ errands of “engagement” (so often a euphemism for doing business with thugs) by willing dupes in the West who hope that by dealing with the side of the group they like — “just” the political wing, they suppose — they can bolster it enough to split it off from the one they don’t, rather than disastrously lending support and credibility to the whole enterprise.

Liberal Islamic Alliances

Guest Author Amil Amani

Amil is my friend a very serious apostate and Muslim scholar.  He has written a book on the side bar, Obama Meets Ahmadinejad. It is an absolutely hilarious of a meeting be these two fools, their interchange back and forth with Amil acting like a fly on the wall explaining that what they say isn’t at all what they mean.  If you would like some fast light reading on a topic without much humor, Amil Amani brings it to you. J.C. (please click on side bar picture for direct linkage to his book, read the reviews.)

Presently, fanatical Islamists are lashing out with mad fury before their own final demise. The “infidel” world has been complicit in the surge of Islamism through its mistakes, complacency, and greed.

Our academia leftists even engage in willful misinformation and deception when it suits them. Terms such as “Political Islam,” or “Radical Islam,” for instance, are contributions of our leftist intellengtsia. These terms do not even exist in the native parlance of Islam itself, simply because they are redundant. Even a cursory study of Islam and its charter—the Quran—will clearly reveal that it is a radical political movement. It is the socialist leftists and paid-for-media and politicians who sanitize Islam and misguide the populace by saying that the “real Islam” constitutes the main body of the religion; and, that this main body is non-political and moderate. Our liberal professors claim that Islam is inherently good, the majority of Muslims are good and only a small minority has hijacked the good faith of Muhammad by engaging in acts of intolerance, hatred and violence. I agree, it is not uncommon to observe Muslims, anywhere in the world, who are indeed exemplary in many ways. They are kind, generous and much more. But these are the Cultural Muslims who are, in effect, only part Muslim.

The question is: why is it that the good Islam is not ruling in the world and the bad Islam is engulfing it in fire? Some clear instances of the rule of the real Islam are seen in places such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, parts of Pakistan, Sudan, and Somalia. Iranians are completely suffocated by the real Islam and that is one reason they are revolting against the rule of Sharia (Islamic Law) and that is why they are being butchered by the representative of Allah on earth, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who considers himself the shadow of “Allah.”

 

Human nature is also the culprit, in part. We humans are attracted to hate like flies are to honey. Hate is an easy sell. It is appealing and little effort is required to hate. Hate gathers up the person’s or the group’s frustrations, anxieties, fears, paranoia and many other negative emotions in one handy bundle and hurls it at a convenient target. History is replete with instances of hate energizing the masses into commitment of small and large scale atrocities.

All one has to do is to read the history of Islam and find out the truth for himself.  Mainstream Islam has been outright genocidal from inception. Their own historians record that Ali, the first imam of the Shiite and the son-in-law of Muhammad, with the help of another man, beheaded 700 Jewish men in what is known as “massacre of the Banu Qurayza” in the presence of the Prophet himself. The Prophet of Allah and his disciples took the murdered men’s women and children in slavery. Muslims have been, and continue to be, the most vicious and shameless practitioners of slavery. The slave trade, even today, is a thriving business in some Islamic lands where wealthy, perverted sheiks purchase children of the poor from traffickers for their own sadistic gratification.

The Real Truth About Al Qaeda in Afghanistan

By James Gordon Meek

CounterTerrorismBlog

Ever since senior Obama administration advisers such as CIA Director Leon Panetta and Vice President Biden admitted that Al Qaeda’s presence in Afghanistan was minimal, with fewer than 100 operatives believed to be on the ground there, war critics have complained the President has little justification for escalating the U.S. commitment there.

But the inside-the-Beltway political debate underscores a fundamental misunderstanding of what Al Qaeda’s role in Afghanistan — which Osama Bin Laden’s minions call “Khorasan” — truly has been, according to Special Operations commanders and troops on the ground.
