AFGHAN MISERY AND CIVIL WAR CONTINUE.
WESTERN PUPPET REGIME IN AFGHANISTAN.
COMMUNIST PARTY OF AFGHANISTAN: TALIBAN, AL- QAEDA AND NORTHERN ALLIACE CREATIONS OF USA.
HUNTING OSAMA BIN LADEN WAS A FLIM-FLAM TRICK. THE ACTUAL MEANING IS TO SUBJUGATE AFGHAN COUNTRY AND PEOPLE.
THE REAL REASON OF THE ATTACK ON AFGHANISTAN IN SIGHT. US STRENGHTENTS ITS MILITARY PRESENCE IN ASIA.
NATO TOOK OVER THE COMMAND IN AFGHANISTAN. STRONG CLASHES ESCALATED IN 2003 - 2009.

"Why is America attacked the innocent"? Four main reasons. 1.- Because it could, 2-. Because it's easier and safer than going after real "terrorists 3.- All those bombs and rockets going off made impressive TV for CNN and 4.- It satisfied the blood lust of the folks back home who feel they're getting revenge on all those nasty Arabs who don't respect their "good white Christian values" and the "American dream".
__________________________________________________________________
US and UK began massive military operation on Afghanistan in October 2001. According to intelligence sources terrorists and their supportes could be find also in Saudi Arabia and in other countries. Yet bombing poor Afghanistan was the easiest way to begin war. The bombings have destroyed Afghanistan territory and killed innocent people.
After ending of the largest bombings in December 2001 the western alliance still continued war. Even German and French troops joined the operation. The pretext of hunting one person by huge joined western military forces does not make sense. The question is of territorial imperialist war in Asia.
The most important goal of the war was to find Osama bin Laden. Not found. Maybe it was not even intended to find him? The Al Qaeda -organization has obvioulsy been destroyed. So what? Has the terrorism now disapperead from the world? For sure not.
The Afghani people are now in still worse misery and the world politics still more labile.
Is the US is now satisfied? No. It is thirsty for more blood.
The war in Afghanistan continues.

Features.
Afghanistan is a poor country governed for long time by the islamic Taliban-movement, whose power was established by US support.
The media demonized Talibans as it always happens during a war. Talibans were suspected to protect persons and organizations who may be responsible for the September 11th incidents in USA. Blaiming Talibans includes also a racist idea. There in no principal difference between Talibans and other Afghan people with their different religious opinions.
USA said it had secret "evidences" to justify the attack on a whole nation. In a normal trial procedure hiding evidences is a crime. Verdict on on the basis of secret evidences is in contradiction with judicial principles.
Nobody has seen any evidences.
Proof? Who needs proof? Washington said. "Trust us. Trust Tony Blair. Have we ever lied?"
The war planned by USA-led imperialism against Afghanistan has not much to do with the attack in USA on September 11th, 2001. These attacks are in this case nothing but a pretext for the large military operation.
According to BBC news September 18th 2001 plans for the attack on Afghanistan were ready already in July 2001.
The French daily Le Figaro has revealed in October 2001 that Osama bin Laden and a CIA agent had been in touch with each other in July 2001.
The attacks had obviously been launched already earlier, but the western NATO-allies hesitated. Countries in western Europe like almost all other countries in the world wanted to have evidence that Afghanistan can be connected with the strikes in USA.
In the beginning of October 2001 USA said its has the "evidence". The material was secret and quite obviously engineered like the material for justifyng the attack on Yugoslavia in 1999. Yugoslavia is also on the route to the Caspian oil areas, from other direction.
The western allies of NATO were principally tied with the war because of their acceptance of using the fifth article of NATO rules. Attack on any NATO-member ment in this case attack on all the alliance.
The mainstream media speaks of fundamental muslims in their reports and news concerning Afhanistan. Most of Afghani people are muslims. Yet this fact does not have anythig to do with the war. The aggressors are mostly Christians. So what? Religions hardly have anything to do with the Afghanistan issue.
The war is an imperialist conquer war. Imperialism´s goal is to get closer to the Caspian oil areas, to get market areas in Asia and to set in Asia generally.
Russia and China were obliged to get involved into the "fight against terrorism", because they cannot allow NATO to operate in their backyards without control.
USA forced Pakistani government to join the war against Afghanistan. Basis of this alliace is not strong, because most of Pakistani people resist it.
Women´s position in Talibans´ Afghanistan were terrible. The US used this situation in order to get Afgani people´s support for its own geopolitical goals. The revolutionary Pakistani women´s organization RAWA was one year ago in close co-operation with world´s communist movement, even receiving some monetary aid. At once, in the beginning of 2001 RAWA changed their political direction and began co-operation with CNN, which is the propaganda machinery of the CIA. Quite obviously the RAWA was bought by money already long ago. This is one more circumstancial evidence that "plan Afghanistan" was made long before the Sept 11th.
On the other hand, the RAWA resists also the so called Northern Alliance, which is an armed criminal and drug organization backed by the US and its allies, exactly like KLA in Yugoslavia.
Meeting of Arab countries on October 10th, 2001 demanded directing of the war strictly only to military targets and transferring operational leadership from the US to the UN. USA did not like this resolution and the US ignored it.
The anthrax-hysteria does not have connections with the "terrorists" or the war in Afghanistan, but it serves the interests of US propaganda. The FBI arrested in 1998 US citizens because of possessing anthrax-bacteries. Yet the propaganda machinery uses anthrax as an additional tool to justify aggressions on Asia. However, according to the authoritative scientific publication Lancet president Bush did not in summer 2001 sign the pact to deny biological weapons because the US ministry of defence worked on a program to develope resistant anthrax-bacteria. In those circumstances it is quite understandable that Mr. president did not want international control to discover the new mass destruction weapon plan.
Hundreds, maybe thousands or even more of Afghan civil people have been killed or injured. Because of the efficient Pentagon media censorship we will obviously never know the truth.
The so called Northern Alliance supported by western military powers had in the end of 2001 success in their military operations. Talibans lost the war. Yet Afghan civil war seems endless.
Afghanistan's anti-Taliban Northern Alliance is looting, carrying out executions, kidnapping and deporting civilians in the recently conquered city of Mazar-I-Sharif,according to the United Nations World Food Program.
According to realiable local sources US and UK troops partivipated in the end of November 2001 a massacre of imprisoned Talibans together with Northern alliance.
The war is now a civil war. The western powers carry out their "divide et impera" -principle by supporting some of the civil war fronts.
US/UK strategy works in Afghanistan like it did in Yugoslavia. Own defeats can be minimized by arming and supporting country´s internal religious or separatist opposition groups.
There is a significant communist party in Afghanistan. Opposing both the Taliban and the Northern Alliance, the Communist Party of Afghanistan has called for an armed resistance against what it called pan-Islamism and theocracy of both Taliban and non-Taliban variety. In a statement, the CPA described the Taliban as well as the Al Qaeda as creations of the United States.
In its wars for conquering and subjugating countries and nations imperialism needs enemies.
Imperialism´s next step in its working schedule was to arrange puppet regime in Afghanistan either as temporary government or later to go forwards by manipulated elections. The process began in Bonn. Outsiders nominated the new government. The new Afghan leader was described by media as a US friend. Isnt´t that self-evident? Part of Afghan groups have immediately informed not to honor the new regime.
Yet Afghan misery and threat of terrorism remain anyway. The western attack caused nothing but damages. Civil war, chaos and enormous human sufferings are results of US/UK agression.
According to a video tape published in December 2001 by US officials Osama bin Laden confessed on November 11th his responsibility for the 09-11 attacks. Yet the confession is not very significant. All the process is anyway much more complicated. Additionally, the videotape in question is quite obviously a reconstruction of a general-type bin Laden statement of October 20th. For the US propaganda machinery it is easy to produce such "evidences". This is by no means the first time the US justifies its aggressions by faked evidences.
The original goal of foreign attack was "elimination of terrorism". This goal has not been reached and it will never be reached by attacks on countries. Just the opposite. We can wait for counter-attacks anywhere in the world.
CNN and other parts of the western propaganda machinery have done all possible to hide and destroy satellite photos and other material which shows the real amount of civil casualities in Afghanistan. Not perfect success, because also other medias entered the war area.
According to Pakistani sources a new US missile system will be built in Afghanistan. This system is targeted against China. .
USA has threatened and blackmailed Pakistan because of "doubts Pakistan to protect Al-Qaeda".
The intention is obvioulsy to calm down the strong doubts concerning backgrounds of the 9-11 incidents. In that sense that type of faked CIA-productions are not so important. In the pictures seen at that of year there should be snow on the mountain tops. Yet there is no snow...
However, there are reasons to get concerned because the purpose of these "evidences" may be to justify new attacks, this time possibly on Pak mountains. In May 2002 the US carried out military operations in Pakistan without any kind of international authorization.
As expected, Germany has expressed their willingness to participate "peacekeeping" in Asia. Quite logical. The previous German military operation in the east was stopped near Ural in 1944.
In January 2002 the Afghan army in Kabul was replaced by western "peacekeepers". This was one of the last nails to the coffin of independence of one country.
USA placed Afghan war prisoners in its naval base in Cuba, Guantanamo. The prisoners have been treated in a crude way, against the Geneve 1950 convention. Additionally, for sure, these persons do not have anything to do with the 9-11. This operation is an intentional arrogant provocation against the UN, Afghanistan and Cuba.
Opium flourishes in Afghanistan again. Talibans had denied it.
After the main war on Afghanistan USA has established a permanent military base in Kirghizia, neighbour to China. Are there still doubts of US reasons to attack on Afghanistan?
In spring 2002 the US faced a new strong vawe of Afghan resistance in the war the US already expressed to be over. The US had hided its previous military casualities. Now the casualities may be even larger.
The UK sent troops to Afghanistan in 2002.
In spring 2002 the US asked Pakistan to accept bombings at their area in order to "find Osama bin Laden". Mousarraf denied that unbelievable plan. Yet the U.S. carried out heavy bombings.
In April 2002 the soldiers of the contemporary Afghan opposition - which is a much larger front than the Al-Qaeda - carried out succesful military strikes against the western conquerors and against the puppet regime settled by the western powers.
In May 2002 tribe chiefs in Afghanistan declared a holy war against the western conquerers. The western intelligence agencies have noted this declaration seriously. The process contines, the war continues.
In June 2002 a large group of Afghan national assembly delegates walked out in protest over vote. The US had nominated the sole candidate to lead the country for the next 18 months. Of course, after the farce-type process the pre-nominted candidate was elected.
Kabul, June 20, 2002. Afghanistan's warlords emerged from the loya jirga with greater power and a new claim to legitimacy. Many delegates representing civil society told that they had been excluded from any real decision-making.
"But it remains a fact that from 1992 to 1996, the Northern Alliance was a symbol of massacre, systematic rape and pillage. The Northern Alliance left the city in 1996 with 50,000 dead behind it. Now its members are our foot soldiers.
In July 2002 more than 250 people were reported to have been killed or injured by a US bombing raid in southern Afghanistan. The amount of victims is based on local sources (RAWA). The incident caused massive anti-US-demonstrations. In August 2002 the US propaganda machinery supported by the UN tries to cover up that crime.
The assassination for the vice president in July 2002 increased the chaos in Afghanistan.
According to several news sources in July 2002 Osama bin Laden is alive and the Al-Qaeda is preparing new combat units and operations. Maybe. However, one must be careful with this type of news. The news may be another trick to justify the future western invasion and wars in Asia. In fact, all the Osama bin Laden problematics may originally have been be a product of imagination of western intelligence agencies.
In July 2002 a special unit of the US armed forces was been settled to protect the puppet president nominated by USA.
In August 2002 the Al-Qaeda began new activities. Both Al-Qaeda and other separate groups fight on the other hand against each other and on the other hand agaist the puppet regime.
In 2003 USA carried out an attack Iraq. Afghanistan was only one stage in aims to control the Asian oil.
In October 2002 the U.S. forces planned to construct an air base in Neemroze [Nimruz] Province in southwest Afghanistan. That base is targeted especially against Iran.
The U.S. military is losing momentum in the war on terrorism in Afghanistan because the remnants of al Qaeda and the Taliban have proven more successful in adapting to U.S. tactics than the U.S. military has to theirs, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said in the beginning of November 2002.
In November 2002, after the internal riots in Afghanistan the puppet regime massacred six Afghan students.
In December 2002 the US informed that the occupation troops will stay in Afghanistan for long, without any withdrawal plans.
In the beginning of 2003 USA began new heavy military activities in order to protect the puppet regime of Afghanistan.
February 12th, 2003. The U.S. military said Danish F-16s and U.S. bombers dropped guided bombs on an estimated 25 fighters in an assault in the Baghni Baghran area, in Helmand province. Air and ground assaults killed an undetermined number of civilians in the rugged mountains. of his province. As many as 30people may have been killed, and scores more were injured.
In 2003 the US attacks continue.
In 2003 Afghanistan is not in the focus of western media. The topic is awkward. The continuing tribe wars, misery, freezing deaths and the weak government supported by the US have turned among others even the RAWA against the regime. The situation is even worse than in Talebans´ era. After occupation of Afghanistan western countries are not interested of Afghan people´s affairs.
In April 2003 the Taliban took control of the headquarters in Naubahar and Shinkai districts in the southwestern Zabul province in Afghanistan.
USA accelerated bombings again in 2003.
The AFP, the French news agency, reported on April 16, 2003, that the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) would take over the command of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan this summer. In practice the "security" control means control over all the country.
In May 2003 there was a strong anti-U.S. demonstration in Kabul.
In May 2003 an unknown amount of 2003 U.S. soldiers were killed in Afghanistan in explosions and shootings.
The casualties of suicide attack in Kabul on June 7th 2003 on the International Security Assistance Forces (ISAF) soldiers was 35.
In the beginning of August 2003 its seems obvious that the U.S. has again made the biggest possible historical mistake. The "controlled occupation" is forming to an uncontrolled war. Afhganistan is going to be a new Vietnam.
An explosion of collected ammunitions in a disarmament operation in north Afghanistan killed 13 soldiers and wounded a number of others on August 4th. 11 more soldiers were killed on August 7th, 2003.
NATO took over the command in Afghanistan in August 2003. The western media spoke of "peacekeeping".
The bloodiest clasches since the occupation took place in Afghanistan on August 13th, 2003, immediately when NATO´s "peacekeeping" begun.
Afhganistan celebrated its "independece day" on August 18th, 2003. Eleven policemen were killed in violences.
In August-September 2003 it seems obvious that the imperialist war against Afghanistan will never end. Occupiers´and their lackeys´ casualities grow day by day. Taleban retakes regions. Afghan people hate NATO which represents foreign power.
The disarmament of some 100,000 Afghan militiamen could start as early as next month following a long-delayed reshuffle of the defence ministry, United Nations officials said in September 2003. This operation will obviously turn also Afghanistan another Vietnam. In early October 2003 strong clashes in Afghanistan were a fact.
According to a statement by RAWA in October 2003 there is no essential improvement in womens´ life in Iraq since Talibans´ era.
Heavy clashes participated by US soldiers, local polices, local soldiers and different Afghan groups continued in early November 2003. Several people including US soldiers were killed. The planned elections may be delayed.
The violence in Afghanistan area escalates. Afghan and Pakistani forces exchanged fire along the disputed border between the two countries on 2nd November 2003. There have been related clashes also in Kyrgystan.
November 12th, 2003. In a bleak report on Afghanistan, a UN Security Council Mission warned that as the country heads toward elections it's beset by warlords, terrorism and drug trafficking. Germany's UN Ambassador Gunter Pleuger, who led the mission, told an open meeting of the council that growing insecurity threatens prospects for peace two years after the Taliban's fall. Pleuger stated: "The mission clearly saw how the lack of security - the rule of the gun - affected the entire Afghan peace process."
In November 2003 the U.S. began to apply so called "tough measures" in Afghanistan. Failure from the U.S. point of view seems sure. The counterforces grow still more. USA has made this mistake in history many times.
The U.S. failure became quite apparent in December 2003. Strikes carriend out by Talibans and other Afghan groups especially aganist Americans increased.
A US air attack aimed at assassinating an anti-government militant claimed the lives of nine childrenon December 6th, 2003 in Afghanistan. The massacre took place in Ghazni province, about 100 miles southwest of the capital, Kabul. The U.S. troops hardly become more popular this way.
Afghan querillas´ attacks on U.S. targets in Afghanistan continued regularly in December 2003
The new president-centric Constitution in January 2004 is targeted to secure U.S. permanent power in Afghanistan. Nobody can be even president candidate without US acceptance in advance.

Fighters loyal to several regional warlords have taken control of most of a remote Afghan provincial capital after clashes in which 18 people were killed or wounded and the governor forced to flee. The upheaval in the central province of Ghor, 130 miles west of the capital Kabul, is being described as a fresh crisis for President Hamid Karzai, just back from a visit to Washington in which he and President Bush gave what many analysts saw as an overly rosy assessment of Afghanistan
June 23rd, 2004. Nine U.S. marines were killed in clashes around Kabul.

Up the the end of July 2004 it was quite evident that violence in Afghanistan had increased at the sanme time when NATO had added their precence.
On August 1-2, 2004 a well planned serial of attacks against occupiers took place in different parts of Afghanistan.
In August 2004 three private "security men" hired by the CIA were caught for unscrupulous torture of prisoners. Of course, USA and CIA denied their responsipbility. However, according to the BBC news on August 16th, 2004 the accused men could prove by videotapes that CIA at least knew about the abuses or possibly had given order to torture prisoners.
August 21st, 2004. Following the damaging departure from Afghanistan of Medecins Sans Frontieres, United Nations personnel are now saying that they too should be evacuated in the violent run-up to October elections.
In the turn of August-September 2004, three years from beginning of the war, Afghanistan was in hopeless chaos.
In September 2004 occupiers´ aggressions in Afghanistan expanded beyond Afghanistan - Pakistan border. Several Pakistani civil people died in U.S. bombings.
Heavy violences took place before the fraudulent presidential "elections" on October 9th, 2004. 15 of the 18 candidates boycotted the process referring to the by the occupiers in advance manipulated results. According to local sources the result of the "elections" was fabricated in advance.
October 25th, 2004. Spain ordered troop withdrawal from Afghanistan.
In November 2004 the by different NATO countries strenghtened occupation forces faced still more harder resistance by Afghan guerrillas..

In February 2005 it appeared that the occupiers had tortured prisoners at Fire Base Tyscze in Dae Rahwood, like in Abu Graigh in Iraq.
In February - March 2005 it became clear that the U.S. cannot continue occupation of Afghanistan without its European NATO-allies support.
March 2nd, 2005. A recent United Nations report on social conditions in Afghanistan provides a glimpse of the social reality behind the American media's talk of a "new democracy" and the supposedly benevolent role of the US government in that country. The survey, Afghanistan, National Human Development Report 2004: Security with a Human Face, was recently released in Kabul. It begins by asserting that the country has not seen any significant "span of stability" over the past two decades&emdash;i.e., shortly after the US first intervened in Afghanistan. "Years of conflict and neglect have taken a devastating toll, as measured by dramatic drops in human, social and economic indicators," the report's authors write.
In March 2005 the UN reported Afghanistan to be one of the biggest opium producer in the world.
In the turn of April - May 2005 the fights in Afghanistan continued. In the early May U.S. troops suffered serious losses in different parts of Afghanistan.
In June 2005 all forms of violences continued in Afghanistan. Women´s position was according to Amnesty International more or less the same as it was during Talibans´ era.
In the turn of June-July 2005 the attacks on occupiers accelerated again. A heavy American troop transport chopper was downed. In July attacks on occupiers´ bases accelerated again.
In July 2005 it occurred that at the same time when Talibans attempt to unite their forces, the U.S. tries to recruit them to the U.S. controlled Afghan army.
In the turn of July - August 2005 the amount of downed U.S. helicopters in Afghanistan grew with at least two units.
September 2005. Afghan internal fights continued and occupiers´ situation became still more difficult.

Turn of September-October 2005. The number of Afghan soldiers wounded in a suicide in Kabul attack reached to 36 while the figure of casualties was nine. This was only one example of the bloodiest era for Afghan people but especially for the occupiers during the four years after the invasion.
October 2005. NATO decided to increase essentially the amount of troops in Afghanistan. At this stage nobody should think about anything else than about an absurd plan to conquer Asia and in the long run also all the world. Internal situation of Afghanistan is no explanation for this kind of a massive operation.
November 2005. The international media could write that the past month was the bloodiest one since beginning of the war and occupation.
December 2005 / January - March 2006. Attacks on occupiers and internal clashes accelerated again.
April 2006. NATO had to admit their ever-biggest casualities in Afghanistan during the past winter.

February - December 2007. NATO suffered still more losses, power of the resistance grew further.
In the beginning of 2008 western mainstream media tried to convince the world to believe that the situation in Afghanistan was under control. According to medias of eastern hemisphere the truth was quite different.
January 2008. "Afghanistan war is just beginning". "The Taliban has seriously rejoined the fight inAfghanistan, an NGO security group said in a report hat concluded the country was at the beginning of a war, not the end of one. The Afghanistan NGO Safety Office (ANSO) said the Taliban's "easy departure" in 2001, when a US-led invasion drove them from power, was more of a strategic retreat than an actual military defeat. "A few years from now, 2007 will likely be looked back upon as the year in which the Taliban seriously rejoined the fight and the hopes of a rapid end to conflict were finally set aside by all but the most optimistic," ANSO said.
March - June 2008. Even U.S. military experts said that NATO cannot win the war in Afghanistan.
June 11th, 2008. A US air strike on a town of Paktika province killed about 40 Afghan civilians and destroyed several houses, a leader of that south-western zone denounced.
In June 2008 e record of 40 dead NATO-soldiers was sreached.

March - August 2009. The war accelerated. Pakistan began to weaken relations with the U.S.

October 2009. No pogress. New bomb blasts. Withdrawal of U.S. forces seemed to be a lie or at least some kind of a falsification. The U.S. will not give up Iraq.
October 2009. "The presidential elections" had had to be held once more for clear majority of votes. So what? The elections were nothing but just a farce anyway. Before the second round of "elections" the countercandidate for U.S. marionet Hamid Karzai gave up. Hence, Karzai conintues.
November 2009. Harsh violence in Afghanistan went on.
