Internationalnews Nytimes June 13, 201 Tyler Hicks/The New York Times A bleak Ghazni Province seems to offer little, but a Pentagon study says it may have among the world’s largest deposits of lithium. By JAMES RISEN WASHINGTON — The United States has discovered nearly $1 trillion in untapped mineral deposits in Afghanistan, far beyond any previously known reserves and enough to fundamentally alter the Afghan economy and perhaps the Afghan war itself, according to senior American government […]
Stop War UK March 21 2010 Barack Obama and Gordon Brown say the "exit strategy" for Afghanistan is the "rapid increase in numbers ... quality and effectiveness" of the Afghan army and police so that as they are able to "stand up" and take responsibility for the country's security, enabling the progressive withdrawal of NATO troops. The reality would be laughable, but it's no joke for the many Afghans and NATO soldiers dying for this hopeless strategy. By T. Christian Miller, Mark Hosenball, […]

CounterPunch January 7, 2010 Bombing the Land of the Snow Leopard Photo: blogs.nationalgeographic.com Shipping off 30,000 more troops to the land of the Taliban may be infuriating to devoted antiwar activists, but the toll the Afghanistan war is having on the environment should also force nature lovers into the streets in protest. Natural habitat in Afghanistan has endured decades of struggle, and the War on Terror has only escalated the destruction. The lands most afflicted by warfare are […]
By Jason Ditz December 31, 2009 The number of civilian deaths in Afghanistan continues to rise. In the second high profile incident this week alone, officials say that NATO killed at least eight Afghan civilians in an overnight air strike in the restive Helmand Province. At least three of them were children. The attack came near the Helmand capital of Lashkar Gah, when foreign forces called in an air strike after coming under ambush. It is unclear why the house was the target, as the […]
World Socialist Web Site 30 December 2009 In the press coverage of President Barack Obama’s recent decision to deploy more US troops to Afghanistan, a historical milestone has gone curiously unmentioned—the 30th anniversary of the USSR’s invasion of Afghanistan, which began on December 27, 1979. An examination of the circumstances of this event undermines Obama’s claims that American policy in Afghanistan is motivated by a “war on terror,” revealing instead the imperialist aims behind US […]
Global Research December 19, 2009 Stop NATO The higher number of Defense Department contractors, 160,000, added to over 100,000 troops - with the likely prospect of both numbers climbing yet more - will result in over a quarter of a million U.S. personnel serving under the Pentagon and NATO. The latter has 42,000 non-U.S. troops fighting under its command currently and pledges of 8,000 more to date, with thousands in addition to be conscripted after the London conference on Afghanistan next […]
Monde Diplomatique The US-Nato presence in Afghanistan, and its chosen government there, exactly replicate the situation in Vietnam in the early 1960s. And, betting on same percentages that prevailed in Vietnam, the US can only lose more money, men and, in the end, the conflict by William P Polk The documentary Combat Patrols Afghanistan, made by Bing West, who was embedded with US soldiers, has a message popular among Americans: “More senior-level attention must be paid to inflicting s […]
Mondialisation.ca Le 8 novembre 2009 WSWS Source: 3.bp.blogspot.com Lundi, on a mis un terme au spectacle électoral qui durait depuis deux mois et demi en Afghanistan lorsque le président sortant du régime fantoche des Etats-Unis à Kaboul, Hamid Karzaï, fut déclaré vainqueur. Le Comité électoral indépendant, un organe rempli de partisans de Karzaï, a rendu une décision accordant à ce dernier un autre mandat de cinq ans et annulant le deuxième tour qui était prévu pour le 7 novembre. La […]
Commondreams November 7, 2009 by the Independent/UK Could there be a more accurate description of the Obama-Brown message of congratulations to the fraudulently elected Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan? First the Palestinians held fair elections in 2006, voted for Hamas and were brutally punished for it - they still are - and then the Iranians held fraudulent elections in June which put back the weird Mahmoud Ahmadinejad whom everyone outside Iran (and a lot inside) regard as a dictator. But now […]

Mondialisation Le 5 octobre 2009 La recrudescence des attaques de plus en plus meurtrières par les Talibans et les insurgés contre les forces de la coalition et la demande de renforts de l'ordre de 40 000 soldats exprimée par le général Stanley McChrystal laissent entrevoir une défaite cinglante des forces militaires occidentales en Afghanistan. Ce n'est pas encore la panique, mais on s'aperçoit de plus en plus que les stratégies d'occupation armée de ce pays ne permettent pas d'atteindre […]
