Obama’s Repeated Strategy Will Bring in Infamy for America

In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Negative response by American Allies and Coalition
countries to send more troops to Afghanistan, forced
Obama to take up the burden himself. It is because a
growing number of America’s Allies now believe the
Afghan issue has no military solution.
Naming it a new strategy for Afghanistan, Obama is now
trying to make it a success. It is his moribund
attempt to fix the situation and put a clout on the
sagging morale that their troops are suffering from
and cover up the ground realities in Afghanistan for
some time.
In less than one year that Obama has assumed the helms
of affair, he was compelled to frame a new strategy
for Afghanistan once again. Their bragging aside, the
ground realities in Afghanistan speak otherwise. They
have no control over the rural areas which, in our
view, this tantamounts to America’s failure and fiasco
in this ancient land of the Afghans. Rationally, he
should not have repeated his already failed strategy
by resorting to troops surge in Afghanistan. Rather,
it would have been in the benefit of Washington if
they had taken their decision in the light of the
realities on ground.
Though, in his speech, while announcing the strategy,
Obama admitted that they are not able to bear the
burden of the war, and that wars expenditures in
Afghanistan and Iraq had exceeded one trillion
dollars; he also announced that American troops will
start withdrawing from Afghanistan after 18 months.
But still, the troops surge in itself is a sign of
enmity of America and Obama with the people of
Afghanistan.
The public of the world know that Obama and America
got only caskets as consequence of their previous
strategy for Afghanistan, particularly, during the
past six months, not a day has passed in the past
months, without death of dozens of invading soldiers.
Documentary commentaries and analysis by media reveal
that the past six months were some of the gruesome and
sanguinary days for the Americans, Britain's and their
Allies. During this period, the forces of the Islamic
Emirate of Afghanistan gained more strength and
expanded control over vast swathe of land in the
country.
Obama wants to continue his already failed strategy in
a new shape and manner by sending 30,0000 troops to
Afghanistan. Some Allies of America agree with the
Afghan people that the domineering arrogance of
America must break into smithereens in Afghanistan.
The unipolar mastership of America should be buried up
in Afghanistan-- the graveyard of empires.
Therefore, America should re-ponder over the fate of
former Soviet Union which had sent more troops to
Afghanistan than the Americans have sent to the
country. Their followers and surrogates were more in
number and war-hardened than the America’s but
Afghanistan has always proved to be a graveyard of the
world’s invaders and colonialists. America should wait
this crucial time for similar fate in the country.
History always favored this people with the honor of
laying the cornerstone of disintegration and fall of
empires.
It is clear that Obama and his team want to intensify
the war in Afghanistan and achieve their expansions
goals in the region through the use of force. However,
they should ponder over their atrocities and
savageries in the past eight years and what they
obtained as a result except that they gave rise to
wrath and resentments of the Afghans and created
growing sensitivities against the invading forces.
The Afghans are war-hardened people and are on guard
against the machinations of the enemy. They have
preparations for a good fight with the enemy in every
part of the country. We believe that with the help of
God (SwT), the new strategy of Obama will face failure
and fiasco like the previous one. Not only that. It
will accompany great military and historical loss for
the Americans. Inshaallah.
