Taliban convulsed in acerbic fanaticism

This blog set to diaplay 20 days of posts. Sorry Blogspot only shows 3 days, waiting for a Google fix, G

As the world turns.

Its always changing, the only thing

you can depend on is change.

War has changed drastically.

In WWII there was little concern about

collateral damage, civilian deaths were

part and parcel of the paradigm.

Carpet bombing and fire bombing were

methods to bring the enemy to its knees.

The 7th Air Force was not concerned 

about winning hearts and minds.

They focused on wiping out key 

industries, ball bearings, oil etc.

There was very little talk about 

civilian deaths, or about how that

would continue the war and create

more Nazis.

The plan was to crush the German

Military and civilian population into

submission. 

It has been argued that Afpak war

is much different as its an insurgent

war.

But it didn't start out that way.

The Taliban ran the Afghan

government at the start.

If the allies had let the German

Military move to Italy would that

have been similar?

WWII lasted about 5 years.

WWII started September 1, 1939
and ended on the last quarter of 1945.

Afpak has gone on for 10 yrs now.

Double the length of WWII.

And the US has Pakistan giving

the Taliban safe havens in Paki

and NO combined Afghan / Paki

border force routing out al Qaeda

and the Taliban.

The Taliban having a stealth border

is a decided disadvantage.

Durand Line, Talibans stealth ...

There is a new secret paradigm

to diminish the Taliban by kinetics.

And 3 new weapons.

Big secret push to end Taliban

The goal is to bring the Taliban

to the negotiation table through

pain. Taking out the leadership

faster than they can replace them.

And killing all attacking forces.

The Taliban are hanging on

by their fingernails.

Their cadre are 4 or 5 level,

Internet Anthropologist Think Tank: 

Taliban young commissioned 

officers confused 

they are short of resources

and a direct attack on US forces

is tantamount to a suicide attack

and in the next 3 months will become

more so.

The Taliban have reverted to

the WWII paradigm killing their

own civilians, to pressure them

into giving up and asking US forces
to back off, hence the major attacks on 

civilian sectors. Its even working

in Paki.

Pakistani military officials told CNN.

"Neither the government nor the military is in a position to face possible domestic pressure on the expansion of drones," one of the officials said. SOURCE:

So while US is trying to run a 

more civilized war and keep

civilian deaths to a minimum,

the Taliban have moved to

unlimited warfare even IEDing

civilians. Killing women and 

children.Taliban are having some

success with this paradigm.

Karzai peace with Taliban (at any cost), he is selling out Afghan, big problems brewing for US, Karzai misses point, When US leaves Taliban will try and Kill him.Taliban have no honor. Broke 6/7 peace treatys? They will steal the Government using violence.http://bit.ly/aFqR8s

While the US is tired of the 10

yrs war, the Afghans are tired

of being in the crossfire for

10 yrs.

At some point the Taliban

expect the civilians to sue

for peace at any cost,

even a Taliban Government

if it ends the war violence.

Only to be replaced by

1700's brand of warlord

justice.

One of the best ways to counter
this paradigm is an Info War
letting the Civilians know exactly
what the Taliban is up to.

Internet Anthropologist Think Tank: 
Info War concept paradigm.

Time is running out,

the only effective paradigm

I see is a torrent of Taliban

blood, unrelenting and massive.

It doesn't look like US has

the time to win the hearts and 

minds. Even though that

is starting to pay dividends.

The Taliban reaction to 

their blood letting is likely

to try and slaughter more civilians.

to crush the civilian population into 

submission. 

If the realize that won't work 

they will negotiate or die.

Is it possible the more civilized

war isn't?

Instead of chasing the Taliban out

of Afghan with a hand full of CIA agents,

Should the US have hit the Taliban

with everything,blocking them from

leaving and attrited them to near 0.
Trying to kill them all when the opportunity
was there?
