• American Thinker: The Taliban’s Response to Obama Afghanistan PolicyThe misguided Afghanistan “policy.”tags: obama, current, events, areyousorryyet?
  • President Obama’s speech this week to the nation about his “plan” for the war in Afghanistan doesn’t please very many in this country. Apparently, it doesn’t impress the enemy either.
  • It took a day to get the translation done, but the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (the Taliban) now has a response. It is a warning for America: Get ready to die
  • 1. Rather than 40,000 troops surged to the war zone as his general recommends, Obama will “dribble” in 30,000 over the next twelve months.   Why only 30,000? We weren’t told.
  • 2. As soon as the 30,000 extra troops are finally on the ground in Afghanistan next year, Obama intends to begin withdrawing them. Why? Because he says so.

  • The non-profit counterterrorism organization “Nine-Eleven Finding Answers” Foundation (NEFA Foundation) has obtained, translated, and transcribed a statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, which has been issued in response to President Obama’s directive on the Afghanistan war.
  • He wants to lessen the sensitivities of the Afghans about the surge of 30,000 troops through the ploy of ostensibly starting troops’ withdrawal in 2011. He also intends to decrease the opposition of the American public (to the troops surge) and encourage his international Allies to send more troops. But this stratagem will not pay off.
  • 1. The reinforcement will result in (their) fatalities….
  • the reinforcement of the American troops and other tactics will not have impact on the status quo. But the reinforcements will provide better opportunities for the Mujahedeen to launch offensives. On the other hand, it will deepen the crisis of the American economy which is already in shambles.
  • 3. Obama’s assertion to increase and train more soldiers and police for the Kabul Administration is pointless and not result-oriented….
  • ..The Mujahedeen have high morale and complete readiness and believe that Obama’s new strategy will fail like it did previously. It will face fiasco
  • We deem it necessary to remind the American rulers if you persist in your aggressive policy, America will end up being disintegrated itself, instead of maintaining the occupation in Afghanistan….
