All for nothing? Pakistan-backed Taliban poised to reclaim Afghanistan upon NATO’s exit
The U.S. military said in a secret report that the Taliban, backed by Pakistan, are set to retake control of Afghanistan after NATO-led forces withdraw, raising the prospect of a major failure of Western policy after a costly war.
Lieutenant Colonel Jimmie Cummings, a spokesman for the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force, confirmed the existence of the document, reported on Wednesday by Britain’s Times newspaper and the BBC.
But he said it was not a strategic study.
“The classified document in question is a compilation of Taliban detainee opinions,” he said. “It’s not an analysis, nor is it meant to be considered an analysis.”
Nevertheless, it could be interpreted as a damning assessment of the war, dragging into its 11th year and aimed at blocking a Taliban return to power.
It could also be seen as an admission of defeat and could reinforce the view of Taliban hardliners that they should not negotiate with the United States and President Hamid Karzai’s unpopular government while in a position of strength. (Photo: Mohammad Shoiab/Reuters)
The Shit Fest- Santa Cruz Bike Polo presents a weekend of 3vs. 3 bench minor and 2 vs. 2 mini tournaments.
Carson Pass, Sierra Nevada Mountains: January 2011.
Jay and I hiked to the top of the pass looking for back-country snowboarding runs. We made it up by midday, ate lunch, smoked a bowl, and admired the view. We rode about halfway down the trail. Then I mistakenly led us away from the highway on the Pacific Crest trail. We ended up lost, panicked, and completely unprepared to spend a night in the snow at nearly 10,000 feet. We hoofed it out, and made it back to the car well after nightfall. We were just in time to call off the search and rescue team that was being assembled to find our dumb-ass’s. Now, we both carry a compass at all times. Mine is in my bike bag.
Somewhere North. California.
