| Military Analysts are reporting today that the government of Afghanistan is ‘enraged’ over the discovery by Afghan Secret Police of a top secret British Military computer memory stick revealing the United Kingdoms plan to train over 2,000 Taliban rebel fighters and provide them with a base of operations.
SECRET British plans for a Taleban training camp in southern Afghanistan are behind a spectacular diplomatic spat that has seen Anglo-Afghan relations plummet to an almost unprecedented low. Afghan officials claim the camp for 2,000 fighters was part of a top-secret deal to make the insurgents swap sides. The plans were discovered on a computer memory stick seized by Afghan secret police in December. The Afghan government claims they prove British agents were talking to the Taleban without the president's permission. The British insist president Hamid Karzai's office knew what was going on. But Mr Karzai expelled two top diplomats, linked to the plan, amid accusations they were part of a plot to buy-off the insurgents. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown had previously stated to his Parliament on contacting their Afghan enemy that "Our objective is to defeat the insurgency by isolating and eliminating their leaders. We will not enter into any negotiations with these people.”, which with the discovery of their plans showed the duplicity of the United Kingdom and its US allies. Upon their learning of the treachery by their British NATO allies, Germany was quick to state that they would send no further troops to Afghanistan and the Canadian Prime Minister, Steven Harper, has, also, told his French counterpart, Nicolas Sarkozy, that Canadian Military forces could soon leave Afghanistan. So serious has the Western Allies mission NATO mission in Afghanistan been compromised by these new charges against Britain that European support for the US led war has erupted in fresh tensions among the West, and as we can read as reported by Britain’s Guardian News Service: "The past fortnight, leading up to a Nato defence ministers' meeting in Lithuania tomorrow and then a summit in Romania in April, has witnessed a transatlantic shouting match between the Pentagon and Europe over mismatched abilities, alleged cowardice and incompetence from Kunduz to Helmand. The Dutch called in the US ambassador for a dressing down after Robert Gates, the US defence secretary, said the Europeans were no good at counter-insurgency. Gates climbed down, partly, but then fired off a letter to Berlin demanding the Germans put their lives on the line in combat in the south rather than enjoying the relatively cushy conditions of the north. A furious German response followed." According to these reports, however, the most catastrophic revelation contained on the captured British Military computer memory stick were plans by the United Kingdom, and their American ally, to ‘utilize’ these 2,000 Afghan Taliban rebel fighters as terrorists against UK, European and US civilian ‘targets’ in a bid to further their effort towards igniting their populations passion for Total World War. more Info For months now NATO forces along with Afghani soldiers have been playing a game of cat and mouse with Al-Qa’ida and the Taliban. One day one of the sides will claim that it’s taken a particular town or village. Then there’ll be a fierce gun battle in the area, and then a few days later the other side will issue a statement claiming that it has regained control of that particular town or village. It’s been that way, and unless something changes it looks like things will stay that way. And that’s why some of those fighting the fiercest battles on behalf of NATO in the south of Afghanistan are saying that they need help. They’re saying that not enough of the NATO countries are committing their soldiers to fight in the south of the country. All of this has been brought home by the Canadians who says that is they don’t get support pretty soon, they’ll have no choice other than to withdraw from southern Afghanistan. All of this will come to a head in April when defense ministers from NATO countries will meet to discuss the issue and they’ll hear that right now the bulk of the work in the south of Afghanistan is being done by soldiers from the United States, Britain, Canada, the Netherlands and Poland. And all of this bickering of course leaves one person very happy. Osama Bin Laden knows that for the time being at least he’s not losing the war, and that is in itself enough room for him to emit the propaganda that says Al-Qa’ida is winning the war. Video |
