25 Tons of Bombs Wipe Afghan Town Off Map.

By Spencer Ackerman January 19, 2011 | 3:45 pm | Categories: Af/Pak An American-led military unit pulverized an Afghan village in Kandahar’s Arghandab River Valley in October, after it became overrun with Taliban insurgents. It’s hard to understand how turning an entire village into dust fits into America’s counterinsurgency strategy — which supposedly prizes the local people’s loyalty above all else.

But it’s the latest indication that Gen. David Petraeus, the counterinsurgency icon, is prosecuting a frustrating war with surprising levels of violence. Some observers already fear a backlash brewing in the area.

the result is the goal.

one of the primary purposes of the Iraqi and Afghanistan wars is to kill Muslims.

when you consider the war from that purpose, the actions make perfect sense.

for example, the murder of 60 Iraqi police applicants today by an alleged suicide bomber. a Mossad armed & trained suicide bomber perhaps ?

when we consider that the Iraqi & Afghan. wars are being run by people who practice a religion that has a 2000 year history of ritual human sacrifice - the criminal sects of Judaism - then not much of the mayhem is surprising ... to me.

The US, by doing that to the one village, has now made the population of 50 villages into their enemies...this is not a war for justice but rather of greed..........all those American soldiers that cannot live with what they have done and are killing themselves?....well, 1,000 more are just in that much pain and that will reflect upon the urban population, against their wife, son, daughter, parents and friends.

The shame of it all.

The bad guys are anyone keeping a transnational or (more accurately) a supra-national corporation from being able to extract resources from the estimated $1 trillion of good stuff from Afghanistan.

But from what she hears, destroying Tarok Kolache — in order, apparently, to rebuild it — has meant jeopardizing whatever buy-in local Afghans gave U.S. troops for fighting the Taliban in the Arghandab, which has been the scene of fierce fighting for months.

7.6 WAR AS A MEANS OF PLANNED WASTE (http://policestateplanning.com/chapter_7.htm)



The blueprint for the economic destruction of the U.S through war is the policy paper entitled Rebuilding America's Defenses written by the neo-conservative think-tank Project for the New American Century in year 2000. (81) It recognizes the need to pursue an indeterminate series of wars in order to protect American interests. The U.S. Government has also stated that the War on Terror may never end.
In 1984 George Orwell outlined the real Machiavellian purpose of war:

The primary aim of modem warfare... is to use up the products of the machine without raising the general standard of living... The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labour. War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking into the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable...

The Report From Iron Mountain repeats Orwell's conclusion:

The production of weapons of mass destruction has always been associated with economic "waste." The term is pejorative, since it implies a failure of function. But no human activity can properly be considered wasteful if it achieves its contextual objective... In the case of military "waste," there is indeed a larger social utility. In advanced modern democratic societies, the war system... has served as the last great safeguard against the elimination of necessary social classes... The continuance of the war system must be assured, if for no other reason, among others, than to preserve whatever quality and degree of poverty a society requires as an incentive, as well as to maintain the stability of its internal organization of power.

Perhaps they were just clearing out the space for an upscale shopping mall.
After shopping at Nordstrom ($175 scarf) followed by a $12 lunch at the Cheesecake Factory who wouldn’t open their arms up to democracy?
