AN ASIA TIMES ONLINE EXCLUSIVE
Taliban eat into Afghanistan's core
By Hamza Ameer and Ihsanullah Tipu Mehsud
ISLAMABAD - As the United States steps up efforts to engage the Taliban and al-Qaeda in a peace process for Afghanistan, elements of the Taliban have initiated their own plan focusing on regaining the power they lost in 2001 following the US-led invasion.
This involves hijacking the efforts and finances that the US is investing in training and equipping the Afghan National Army (ANA) and the Afghan National Police (ANP).
Well-placed sources in the Taliban who are based in the Pakistan tribal region on the border with Afghanistan have told Asia Times Online on the condition of anonymity that massive numbers from both the ANA and the ANP will switch and join the Taliban on the eve of the scheduled withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan.
The US and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) set a deadline for all security tasks to be transferred to Afghan forces by the end of 2014. However, this week, US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said that US troops would phase out their combat role by mid-2013.
NATO plans to expand the size of Afghanistan's security forces from the current 310,000 to 350,000 soldiers and police while Washington currently has about 90,000 troops in Afghanistan, down from a high of just over 100,000 last summer. It plans to withdraw another 22,000 by the end of this summer. In all, the International Security Assistance Force numbers 130,000 with troops from 50 nations.
"As many as 32 policemen of the puppet Afghan army have already switched sides and joined the mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate in Wardaj, Badakhshan province [in the northeast of Afghanistan], handing their weapons over to the mujahideen and vowing to fight against the invading forces and their minions," a Taliban member told Asia Times Online.

Congrats USA & NATO. The Taliban are the next Afghan Gov't, for the second time
Afghans. LOL The great survivors, You gotta hand it to em
The Amir of Afghanistan, Sher Ali Khan, between english lion and russian bear.
The strategic conflict, called “The Great Game or Big Game”, between the expanding
British and Russian Empires significantly influenced Afghanistan during the 19th
century.
The rule of the Amir Sher Ali Khan was hindered by pressure from both Britain and
Russia though the afghan king attempted to keep his country neutral in their conflict.

I guess any "Invasion" should begin with encouraging `the locals` to inhabit the middle of their territory; then put your forces on every escape route out of Afghanistan; then carpet bomb the fuckers into oblivion. Kill anyone on the move; kill anyone using the escape routes into Pakistan and/or north or West.
Kill em all. The virus of their culture is deep.
The British didnt have the resources a hundred years ago; the Average Russian didn`t have the desire to fight there after the Americans gave Afghans more advanced weapons; the Americans were discombobulated about what they could do and could not do with the Afghans as a whole; as the Afghans on the side of the US are expert liars (a survival tactic from there).
All in all an impossible situation to invade unless you are willing to do the job properly; if a job needed doing and Cheney, Bush Snr and Rumsfeld were not responsible for 9/11 with all their Oil Saudi mates arranging things...
