America should not destroy herself under influence of Afghan and American contractors
07 September 2017By Al-Ikhwah Al-Mujahidun
It has been nearly 200 days since Donald Trump, the new American president
entered the White House after winning the election;but no clear policy has yet
been announced about the current war in Afghanistan. He is uncertain and does
not know how to get rid of this futile war. Different views have been
presented to him, but he is vacillating whether to go forward and fall or go
backward and mar all.
Majority of the people in America and the outside world are convinced that
America has lost the war in Afghanistan, as its consequences are 180 degrees
against their analysis and expectations. Tremendous casualties, huge financial
losses and a severe political setback suffered by America inside Afghanistan
can most likely become an exemplary defeat for them, by haunting the memories
of their future generations.
American experts are trying their best to work out a plan which could, on one
side, turn the current war in their favor and on the other, their
international prestige (their political, military and economic hegemony) is
restored. But from analytical perspective, to find such a solution will be a
Herculean task.
On Thursday 3rd August, according to American media, the White House
authorities were bitterly divided during a meeting on the dilemma of
Afghanistan. In the same manner, Trump vowed not to ratify the plan of
increasing American forces in Afghanistan unless he is fully assured of
winning this futile war. Media further reported that President Trump and his
new administration are unequivocal that the war in Afghanistan is heading
towards a definite failure and embarrassment for all foreign occupying forces.
It is this indecisive stance of the new American administration about the
dilemma of Afghanistan which analysts are terming as the worst kind of defeat.
It is a war which cannot be won according to their own military commanders.
Hired Mercenaries:
Both politically and militarily thwarted and embarrassed, Americans are facing
an additional gravity on behalf of hired mercenaries who are lobbying for
perpetuating the ongoing futile war in Afghanistan as the American forces are
not only stuck in their longest war in Afghanistan, rather their supremacy has
been challenged on several other fronts in the world which has made the
scenario even worse.
The British 'Times' newspaper reported that anti American forces and rivals
are treating the Trump administration as a 'bruised animal'; North Korea is
weighing further ballistic missile tests; Russia has already decided to expel
775 American diplomats from her territory; even the troubled Venezuelan
president has found ways of making fun of Americans.
Trapped in such a perplexity, the mercenaries are still trying to persuade the
new American administration to extend the futile Afghan war.
These 'hired mercenaries' can mainly be divide into three categories:
Those American war-monger contractors under the emblem of notorious 'black
water' who are interested in prolonging the war in Afghanistan for the sake of
gaining money. These days, they have left no stone unturned to convince the
new American administration to allot them huge funds for the continuation of
war. Erik Dean Prince, the founder of 'black water' told an American
television in an interview that despite spending a huge amount of $27 billion
in Afghanistan by Americans per year, still their forces are killed and there
are no signs of winning this war. If this war is handed over to 'black water'
contractors, a significant 40% reduction of spending can be assured annually.
He warned that the total withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan would
mean the inevitable collapse of the present (stooge) regime of Kabul in a
matter of weeks.
The 'black water' founder also suggested the puppet regime in Kabul to hand
over all air-operations and intelligence work inside Afghanistan to the
private militiamen of this notorious firm.
According to the 'Military Times' magazine, this firm has insisted that if
endorsed, they can support the Afghan mercenary forces throughout the country
in the least possible time.
'Black water' the scandalous private military firm is involved in numerous
serious killing, kidnapping and various other war crimes both in Afghanistan
and Iraq. All these felonies are carried out by those unrestrained contractors
who received millions of dollars in return.
Richard Kohen, an American analyst of the daily 'Washington Post' also raised
this issue in July this year by insisting that instead of winning the sixteen
year long war, they (the 'black water' contractors) would deteriorate the
prevailing complex situation, and thus increase snags for American forces in
Afghanistan.
The next group which is coaxing the Trump administration in protracting the
war in Afghanistan consists of those Afghan contractors who are bestowed to
rule in Kabul with the benevolence of American invasion. These contractors
(most once served in the hotels of Washington and London) fully realize that
had it not been for the American invasion, they would not have enjoyed the
rule in Kabul and neither would the warlords of yesterday become the generals
of today.
It was due to American invasion that the former Afghan hotel servants of the
west and the warlords of northern alliance were transformed into today's
puppet rulers of Kabul. Therefore they are trying utmost for America and other
foreign occupying forces to stay their course in Afghanistan, despite their
involvement in the slaughtering of 199 innocent Afghan civilians in a single
incident. Seemingly these stooges are the rulers of Kabul but in reality,
their food, drink, clothes and all other luxuries from top to bottom is borne
by the American treasury. Without a doubt they would never wish for the
American occupying forces to leave Afghanistan, as they are deeply involved in
their vested personal and gang interests through neglecting the future and
security of the country.
The third group is the pro-occupation media in Afghanistan. Just like the
puppet Kabul regime, their source of finance is co-related with ongoing war
and wide presence of American invaders. Simultaneously with the departure of
American forces, they are going to lose all funding including other
provisions. Pro-occupation Afghan media is the integral part of numerous other
projects which sprouted immediately with the American invasion. The people who
previously could not bear to publish a single magazine are now managing three
or four full time satellite televisions simultaneously, though they are
extremely low standard and partial. The sustainability of their funding,
programs and staffs is entirely associated with the presence of foreign
occupying forces therefore this group is trying tooth and nail to deceive and
convince the American invaders that the ongoing (disastrous) war is vital for
Afghanistan and you are widely admired by Afghan people. If you quit
Afghanistan, Taliban will gain power again and will attack America. The
pro-occupation Afghan media is involved in this unrealistic and misleading
propaganda because this extravagant funding in dollars will evaporate with the
flight of foreign occupying forces.
Considerate people for America:
The fourth group consists of people who advise the American authorities in the
perspective of prevailing ground realities. They are mainly some American
experts concerned and sympathetic about their country. They have always tried
to highlight this futile war as harmful for both America and Afghanistan. They
are persuading their authorities to end this war and completely withdraw their
forces by sincerely assessing the ground realities and finding a peaceful
solution, beneficial for both American and the Afghan people. Otherwise, the
day is not far off when America will inevitably face a disastrous collapse.
Sabastian Gore, one of the Trump's advisors is an example of this fourth
group. He has recently expressed that the deployment of additional forces in
Afghanistan is interrelated with the American national interests. He added
that we have reached a conclusion that we are not be headed in the right
direction.
He also disclosed Trump's unequivocal stance both in Pentagon and the White
House that all views of experts regarding the war in Afghanistan reveal that
it is against the American interests, and the deployment of fresh additional
forces would not be necessary.
Similarly, Loral Miller, the special American envoy for Afghanistan and
Pakistan said in an interview that the prospects of self-reliance for the
Afghan forces are obscured. She added that we are far away from this goal by
furnishing some figures.
Only 10% expenditure of Afghan forces and security organs are borne by the
Afghans, while all the remaining expenses are managed by the world community.
How is it possible for them to afford 50%, 60% or 90% of these expenses by
themselves?
Since the (mercenary) Afghan forces are unqualified and cannot restore
security, if not supported by the foreign forces, they would never be
self-reliant. The American authorities should ponder on other alternatives
instead of perpetuating the war in Afghanistan.
Who suffers financially in this war!!?
It is the duty of American experts to figure out the financial sufferings of
the current futile and costly Afghan war.
For the last sixteen years, besides flaring fires in various parts of the
world, the Americans are killing their own people too. Nearly 4500 people were
killed in the 9/11 incident due to their own disgusting policies around the
world. To avenge this incident, they have killed hundreds of thousand of more
Americans.
According to the U.S Defense Department, 4486 American soldiers died in Iraq,
and 2345 soldiers died in Afghanistan. (Though this figure is way smaller than
the actual American casualties in these countries.) In addition, 1 million U.S
soldiers were wounded in both wars, and a potential cost of up to $6 trillion
has been suffered by America.
According to another report published by 'Archive of Armed Violence', more
than 15,000 people were killed and almost 30,600 more were injured in nearly
60,000 armed incidents in 2016 in the United States. If these figures are
multiplied by one or one and a half decade, the death toll and injuries of
American people would rise tremendously.
The financial losses of America, in the year 2009 only, is depicted by
'American Taxpayer.com'. It says that once, Americans were consecutively
earning $752 per second but now, instead of profit, we are continuously
suffering. With the passage of each and every second, we are losing $231 due
to aimless wars waged by American authorities.
According to some other verified surveys, the daily expenses of American wars
is estimated between 25 and 28 million dollars and such huge costs for one and
a half year can definitely ruin a power.
According to a report published by Al-Jazeera on Wednesday 12 October 2016, in
the last fifteen year in Iraq, Afghanistan and some other areas, 600,000
forces and civilians have been killed, more than 7 million people were
displaced and a huge financial loss of $13 trillion has been incurred by
America.
One can easily deduce from the above figures that it was a ridiculous decision
by the then American authorities to impose an illegitimate and malicious war
on the Muslim world, particularly Afghanistan. A futile and aimless war which
could never be won on such irrational grounds. The only outcome of this war is
additional casualties, colossal financial losses and the eventual collapse and
destruction of the arrogant power of the world.
The Americans should realize that the Afghan people have suffered way too
much. They might be fed-up with wars and their houses and lives might have
been destroyed but they will never be fatigued from Jihad and struggle for the
liberation of their beloved homeland and restoring their sovereignty. It is a
part of their faith which can never be overlooked. It is the main reason that
life and death are both equally considered a victory by a Muslim in the path
of holy Jihad. On the contrary, the enemy is absolutely deprived of this
divine generosity of faith and dedication!!!
