Afghanistan: The War the Media Forgot

The Senlis Council, an independent think-tank with a permanent presence in Afghanistan, wrote in a study entitled "Stumbling into Chaos: Afghanistan on the brink, and concluded in over 100 pages , the Reuters recently reported.

The conflict in Afghanistan has reached "crisis proportions," with the resurgent Taliban present in more than half the country and closing in on Kabul, a report said on Wednesday.

Read the full report on Afghanistan from Senlis here. This report is astonishing. According to their conclusions the Taliban control "vast swaths of unchallenged territory" and 54% of the countries landmass!!! In essence, we are losing the war in Afghanistan. Let's be honest here. Most astonishing is how our conglomerate monopoly-hungry media is not explaining this to the American people. Remember Bush's bold campaign statements in 2004? "We have destroyed the Taliban", "we won the war on terror in Afghanistan"??????? All lies...... but the media has to play out their story line mainly: "Afghanistan is a popular war and one which we are winning". If you only watch the t.v for your news you may still think Afghanistan is a huge success!! The Washington Post ran a story about the Taliban gaining ground and the US not meeting their goals in Afghanistan, but overall the coverage is tiny. The Wa'Post reported that White House officials are pessimistic about Afghanistan and the military is not seeing much progress, yet on the television the official word of "success" by the administration tends to be the gospel!

Leave it to neo-conservative "profits-over-people"," contracts-over-troops", "business-over-families".... scumbag, incompetent, degenerate, power tripping, freaks of nature to fuck up 2 major international military operations( they call them wars, I call them occupations) at one time!!
