The Case To Eradicate The Taliban From Earth


We have all seen the epitome of The Long War on Terror being played out in Afghanistan. We have seen that country ruled ruthlessly by the Taliban up until they refused President Bush's request for the turnover of Osama bin Laden and how Coalition forces pushed the Taliban out and dispersed them into the hinterlands and Pakistan. And with the erosion of world support of the War in Afghanistan with countries like Canada, Britain, Germany, and Australia all either backing out of commitments of more troops or simply not authorizing more, the Taliban have regained more and more of Afghanistan.

Here at Holger Awakens, this story was run just yesterday about the campaign of Afghan and NATO forces to retake a key town under Taliban control. I have excerpted below the details of the first actions in that battle. But what you will notice is that in the first day of NATO operations, two Afghan children were killed. No, they weren't the victims of a Coalition air strike gone awry. No, this is how those children died.

The Taliban, traveling in a convoy in or out of Musa Qala (the targeted town), tried to ensure their safe passage by including human civilian "shields" in that convoy. That convoy confronted NATO and Afghan patrols and in the end, two children...forced to accompany the Taliban in their convoy, were killed. Two innocent lives lost because these "holy warriors of allah" are too chicken to fight their own battles. It's time to simply eradicate every member of the Taliban from the face of the Earth.

These are the same Taliban who murdered members of the South Korean missionary group that were taken hostage. These are the same Taliban that held a sword to the throats of female South Korean hostages forcing them to convert to islam. These are the same Taliban that raped female hostages. Yes, these are the actions of the "mighty" Taliban.

It is time for every NATO country to triple and quadruple their force levels in Afghanistan. It is time to simply destroy the last remants of this misfit group of human beings. The toll on the Afghanistan people would be high, unfortunately, especially due to the cowardly operational tactics of the Taliban but as with the eradication of cancer, sometimes a radical attack on healthy areas must be sacrificed to rid the disease.

And that is the perfect word to describe the Taliban. They are a disease upon this planet. When authorities in Asia have found evidence of the bird flu, they undergo an immediate "culling" of the flock. Yes, my friends, it is time to cull the Taliban. We cannot settle for defeating the Taliban in Afghanistan. We cannot suffice with pushing them back to the mountains of NW Pakistan. Every last Taliban simply needs to be eradicated. When the last one, the very last member of this troop of misery is standing, a final round through his forehead will bring an end to this plague upon the Earth. It is time.

Here is the story of the first battles of Musa Qala.



Afghan, NATO Operation Leaves 14 Dead

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) -
A NATO and Afghan operation to retake a Taliban-controlled town in southern Afghanistan has killed at least 12 Taliban fighters and two children, the Afghan Defense Ministry said Saturday

Taliban militants overran Musa Qala in February, four months after British troops left the town following a contentious peace agreement that gave security responsibilities to Afghan elders. Taliban fighters have been in control of the town ever since.
A string of battles around Musa Qala in recent months have signaled a renewed focus by U.S. forces to take on the Taliban stronghold in Afghanistans's poppy-growing south. Saturday's violence is the latest in a series of deadly engagements in Helmand province - the world's largest poppy-growing region and the front line of Afghanistan's bloodiest fighting this year.
Defense Ministry spokesman Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi said elders in the area had asked the Taliban to leave, but when they refused, the elders sought help from government troops.

Twelve Taliban have been killed in fighting since the operation began Friday afternoon. Separately, two children were killed when security forces clashed with Taliban traveling in a convoy with civilians, Azimi said.
"The enemy always tries to use human shields ... and our demand from them is that they stop putting civilian lives in danger," said Azimi.
The Afghan and NATO troops conducting the operation were positioned to the east, west and south of it, he said.
