US Presidential Change And Afghanistan's Message: What Will America Achieve With 300 Extra Troops?
30 January 2017By Shahamat Emarat
The presidential inauguration ceremony took place recently in Washington,
transferring power from the black skinned Obama to a white skinned
billionaire, Donald Trump. Trump is an enigma both to the Americans and the
billions of people around the world. No predictions can tell his course of
action and the ramifications they entail.
Afghanistan which continues to burn in the fire of occupation lit by the
arrogance of previous American leaders hopes that Trump and his cabinet will
not follow the crooked unintelligent footsteps of his predecessors in order to
both stave off America from destruction and relieve Afghanistan from the evil
of invaders.
But if he insists on following the path tread by Bush and Obama and continues
the illegal occupation of our country without reviewing the results so far,
then it is not far that Trump shall sink even deeper into the quagmire that is
Afghanistan without any means to pull himself out from its depths.
If anything could have been achieved with killings, beatings, bombings,
tortures and prisons then surely no method was left unused over the past
nearly 16 years. Not only America but the fifty other coalition nations used
every tool of force but could not achieve anything except lose tens of
thousands of soldiers in battles and billions of dollars in a sinkhole,
increased hatred of America globally and in Afghanistan, ruin its own image by
propping a corrupt immoral regime, establish historical record in narcotics
output, morph from a guardian to a violator of human rights and like the late
Amirul Mumineen Mullah Muhammad Omar predicted, drop America from the top of
the list (prestigious countries) to its bottom.
Even though America has never waged a war so long and passionately intense in
its entire history but if she insists on continuing her failed arrogant
policies, one can foresee that she will ruin herself beyond repair due to a
historically shameful defeat. And nothing is hard for Allah, the Almighty.
What will America achieve with 300 extra troops?
Kabul's declining and rotten regime has stated that their foreign master
(America) is sending 300 extra troops to Helmand to prevent its fall to the
Mujahideen.
Ever since the day American President Obama admitted that America was
unable to defeat the Afghan insurgency, the Kabul regime has gone into panic
mode and they are desperately scrambling to prevent the further demoralization
of their troops and politicians.
The regime has desperately contacted their superiors in Washington and
conveyed to them that unless America takes mitigating steps it is very likely
that 2017 will be the last year for the regime's semblance of control and
political unity.
Thus the Pentagon in a comical gesture has recently tried to reassure the
regime supporters that America will not completely abandon their protιgιs in
Kabul but will continue to support the regime and as a sign of their
commitment send a whole 300 extra troops to Afghanistan.
We say to the regime that your benefactors supported by 49 states and a half
a million strong Afghan mercenary army exhausted the prime of its youth,
expended 2 trillion dollars, convened countless international conferences and
tried dozens of military strategies, yet in the end they failed and ultimately
Obama had to admit that they can never defeat the freedom fighters of
Afghanistan.
If the Americans and NATO despite 15 years of occupation failed to defeat
the Taliban and couldn't even fully secure Kabul let alone the outlying
provinces then exactly what do you expect the 300 extra troops to achieve? At
the height of the U.S. troop surge the Americans had up to 60,000 foreign
troops in Command Region South (Kandahar, Uruzgan, Helmand) and at least
15,000 were stationed in Helmand. Yet despite these numbers they could not
secure this historical land.
If you now think that the Americans will achieve with 300 troops what they
failed to do with 150,000 then your situation is even more dire than we had
imagined.
