U.S. Fights Info War With Taliban: NOT

U.S. Fights Information War With Taliban

In Kabul, Elizabeth Palmer spoke with the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, who says the Taliban have become masters of manipulating public opinion.

That hard truth is at the heart of an information war raging in Afghanistan.

When ever the US screws up, drops the ball.

I often hear the refrain "but were up against experts"

"Taliban have become masters of manipulating public opinion."

NOT Not not, just no, its not true.

The Taliban has better experts at public relations

than the USA does?

These Opium growing Taliban farmers are outwitting

the best public relations experts the West has.

NO USA JUST ISN'T IN THE INFO WAR.

THE TALIBAN ARE WINNING BY DEFAULT.

WHERE ARE THE USA's PASHTOON AND URDU NEWS WEBSITES?

USA IS RELYING ON THE WESTERN PRESS TO FIGHT THE INFO WAR.

THATS WRONG.

LOOK AT THIS PUBLIC RELATIONS / INFO WAR, EFFORT:

The U.S. military says, in fact, 80 percent of Afghan civilians are killed by the Taliban. And they fight back with their own video.

One shows 14 children on their way to school, meeting a suicide bomber.

But there's huge frustration that any time the U.S. military is honest about its lethal mistakes - that's used against them.

"This interview will be leveraged by the Taliban," McKiernan said. "They will use it to say U.S. forces kill innocent civilians, when the truth is they do."

Palmer said: "Well, you both do."

"We try to avoid it," McKiernan said. "The insurgent does it on purpose."

The heart of this Info war effort on killing children  is:

#1) "when the truth is they do."

#2) "Well, you both do."

#3) "We try to avoid it,"

#4) "The insurgent does it on purpose."

Is that the best USA's experts have?

The Taliban must truly be masters.
