Warlords show determination in Afghanistan
Albuquerque Express
Tuesday 9th December, 2008
Taliban warlords in Pakistan's remote tribal regions have said that they are determined to cut off supply lines for NATO and US forces through Pakistan's Khyber Pass.
A little known warlord by the name of Mustafa Kamal Kamran, from Afghanistan's Nangarhar province, has taken it upon himself to prevent supplies getting through to NATO and American forces.
Mustafa served as a district governor during Afghanistan’s Taliban rule.
On two consecutive nights last week, militants destroyed 200 NATO supply trucks lodged inside terminals in Peshawar.
Around 70 percent supplies for the NATO and US forces transit from Karachi seaport through Khyber, the shorter and cheaper route for the UN-sanctioned western forces in Kabul.
Security personnel in the Tribal Areas have said while they believe the attacks on NATO supplies will result in a further bad name for Pakistan, they don't see the Khyber Pass being completely out of the government's control.
The importance of the route will increase next month, with a hike in US forces in Afghanistan.

Time for the Uncle Sam to exit.
Afghan will no doubt throw out the Americans and their doom allies,NATO within this decade.There will be no honarble face-shaving exit for US- NATO Forces as in Iraq.The only prelude is the humilating exit of Soviet Forces and it is in interest of the world that American politicans began spiritually preparing for the inevitable humilation.The anglo-saxons simply doesn’t belong there.

| Hasn’t touched that area in years. Or very little has. Actually they need that dammned bombing stopped and they have made every attempt to do so but they continue so therefore the supplies get stopped. What else have you got mom lets see it.

Warlords show determination in AfghanistanThe backer and creator of Taliban are trying to change the image of Taliban and other Pakistani terrorists by changing their name to warlords. It’s very interesting, that the Afghanistan News. net is already adopting the new name. |

Legalize all drugs, and there will not be any war in AfghanistanI suggest that drugs should be legalized, and given free under a medical prescription to all drug addicts, by all medical facilities on this planet, and this way there will be no profit in the drug trade, crime will decrease world wide do to drugs, people will be much safer knowing that they will not be attacked by drug users, who seek money to pay for their doses.
Drug addicts are sick people and they should be cured,and treated as such, also assured that their daily, weekly, monthly dose must be available, so that these people do not resort to criminal speculators and become their slaves, creating problems for organized society.
I do believe that this war in Afghanistan is mainly for the control of the drugs that are produced there, and surely the criminal elements have a great role for its control.
