Casting aside any intention that Washington plans to end its occupation and war against Afghanistan in 2011 or anytime in the foreseeable future, Gen. David Petraeus declared “We are in this to win. That is our clear objective.” Commenting on the General’s statement, New York Tines reporter Dexter Filkins wrote, “Almost every phase of the war [in Afghanistan] is going badly. In June, 102 American and NATO troops lost their lives, more than in any month since the war began. The major offensive in Kandahar , the most important city in the Taliban heartland, has been slowed because of worries over the lack of local support. The Afghan government and army show few signs of being able, or even willing, to take over.. In the United states, public opinion polls show that a majority of Americans have turned against the war.” (7/5/10)The most important question facing the antiwar and social justice movements is: What do we do now?If ever there was a time for these movements to join together to plan united protest actions, this is it. Hundreds of movement activists have already registered for the National Conference to Bring the Troops Home Now to be held in Albany, New York on July 23-25.and many more have expressed plans to attend.

The Mission: Combating Extremism; the Results, Civilians Die

As you know, this site is dedicated to ending the conflicts in Central Asia. What is to gain with more troops, more years there, more money spent, more lives lost? Innocent lives lost. On all sides. Today’s headlines deal with Innocent Death, the killing of civilians. We read “terrorists”, “insurgents”, but these people can not be identified from the flying airplanes or DRONES. We are responsible for these civilians dying. This must end NOW. Write your Congress Member and your Senators right now at this link. It is easy to do. Please do it now. No more troops, no more money, End the War(s) Now.

In Registan.net today Joshua Faust reports about Air Strike in Kunduz (90+ killed by “NATO” air strike)

In The Long War today Bill Roggio reports “Afghan forces and Taliban clash in Kunduz”. Kunduz is the hot spot of the week. The map shown on this post shows the Pashtunistan portion of Afghanistan, almost the whole area.

I normally do not point you to Main Stream Media sites because you all ready have seen that information. But today, there’s a subheading that tells it all The AFPAK war “Combating Extremism in Afghanistan and Pakistan. So that’s our mission, combating “Extremism”. Now that’s an easy one to win. Just kill everybody.

Write your Congress Member and your Senators right now at this link. It is easy to do. Please do it now. No more troops, no more money, End the War(s) Now.
