Afghanistan
ANSF push Taliban out of northern Helmand
2007-12-10
Afghan National Security Forces and Coalition soldiers pushed back Taliban insurgents from Now Zad, Helmand Province, Dec. 5. The combined force was conducting a reconnaissance patrol in Now Zad when Taliban insurgents attempted to ambush the patrol from established fighting positions. The enemy fired on the ANSF using small arms, rocket and mortar fire. The ANSF immediately returned small-arms and machine-gun fire, putting the enemy on the defensive.

The enemy moved to secondary positions in an attempt to flank friendly forces, as the battle escalated. ANSF identified the new enemy fighting positions and engaged with small arms, machine gun fire and precision air strikes.

The insurgents attempted to hide among the civilian population by moving into their homes. “The enemy attempted to take advantage of the historic Afghan hospitality by using civilian homes as fighting positions,” the ANSF commander said. “Fortunately, the residents recognized the Taliban were abusing their hospitality and wanted no part of it.”

The Afghan civilians prevented them from using the compounds and its inhabitants as human shields. Tthe enemy executed a disorderly retreat and the ANSF continued to clear the village to ensure no insurgents remained. “The ANSF and the citizens of Now Zad both demonstrated their resolve to eliminate the Taliban menace in northern Helmand Province,” said Army Maj. Chris Belcher, Combined Joint Task Force-82 spokesman. “Continued collaboration like we saw today is the key to bringing peace and stability to this country.”

#10  Madrassa students?

Great!

Hey, wazdan! You want an education? Keep reading Rantburg.

Careful, though. If you begin to have embarrassing questions for your teachers they might have to behead you.

Just ask them how that computer you're using works and watch them stutter and stammer. They don't know! How could they? There were no computers when Mohamed wrote that devil's book of his and that's all they've ever read. You'll know you've been educated well when you see them as the 7th Century fools they really are.

#9  Trying to see which looks best on a 7-11 nametag?

I doubt they're bright enough to work at 7-11, Pappy. Maybe they can be a WalMart greeter. That doesn't take much intelligence, which suits these empty-headed morons perfectly. Ten to one they're madrassa students.

#6  Yes, wazdan & sakrov are posting from the same IP address.

Sakrov, I've dealt with your tribal mindset before. And friends of mine have dealt with your tribe directly.

At some point you are going to have to move into the modern world or find yourself exterminated. It was okay to allow you to wallow in your poverty-sticken pride when you did not bother us.

Then came the Taliban and 9/11 -- you bothered us.

We're not going away. Your women will watch the Internet. Your young men will realize they can have true pride in serving the Afghan nation, not just the ratty Pashtun tribe.

And your pious will realize that you have been living an ignorant, tattered and dishonorable version of Islam for a long time.

It seems all poor wazdan knows only as much about human nature as is revealed in the Koran, the Sunna and Hadith. The thing is, my dear wazdan, people don't like to have their hospitality abused by cowards pushing their women and children into flying bullets. Then those people, Afghan Pakhtons, do not shelter your Pakistani Pakhton jihadis any more; rather, they call in the Afghan soldiers, and the British soldiers, and the American helicopters, to kill the Pakistanis very, very quickly. Before the Pakistanis can even steal salt and bread and tea from the plates of the children.

Faith in Islam does not make up for being stupid, dear wazdan. Nor does Allah seem to approve of cowardly Pakistani Pakhton jihadis who force women and children to be martyred in their place. Nor will your rusted nuclear bombs protect you when the American Special Forces follow the blood trail of your wounded running home to their fathers' houses.

#4  What's the deal sakrov - you and wazdan and a bunch of other guys share an interntet hookup? I'd accuse you of split personality, but they all look the same.

#2  The more you push the more they will occupy, It is Pakhtoons land this nation will not be defeated,if you wants them to
be defeated is only by making them friends and that is possible by leaving their country. Wasting $ against them is making your own nation to suffer this nation is impossible to be defeated because they are fighting with having bread and tea.The most valuable thing is their EMAN faith of ISLAM
