leaving afghanistan for over ten years now and
that its
and ongoing disaster
i know why we went in the first place i was in favor of going in the first place it seem
like tell ben was in a century dot cato
who did directly attack us on nine eleven
in my mind that matrix that ten years later
uh... we're not in the same war that we were in the beginning outfit is long gone
even our c_i_a_ admits there might be less than fifty al-qaeda left in the whole country
is far more allocated in pakistan yemen somalia you named right so what are we doing there
well now other people in afghanistan are fighting us cause we're fighting them
and but we keep talking about momentum and and winnie i don't know what we're winning
and this stories a pervert example
of our confusion in my opinion
and how counterproductive the war has become now
so it is of blog written by paul abroad well
feet up often covers afghanistan and knows betray its etcetera etcetera
inches approving of all this
i don't approve of which he talks about
uh... what uh... the one three twentieth uh...
division of our forces
so combined joint task force
uh... has been doing in the
organized
arvind ob river valley right and one of the things that they did was they ran into a village
called
collection
and uh... they
could they had trouble getting in and out of the lage it it was alright these home uh...
uh... improvised explosive devices etcetera
and expiry reagan and i think it until they go on in there
now we killed in action but wanted an action they don't know how to go through but the
state
afraid that they cannot afford to lose momentum
so their commander david flynn
makes a decision
we're going to
destroy the village
disabled
now if you think that's an exaggeration wait till you get all the pictures
let me show you a before picture that's the village right there before we go into rock
camacho
now let me show you after picture
obliterate
they drop twenty-five puns of bombs on the bill
david flynn says
quoc
it was not only way akka give the man competence
to go back out
vo only way
the only wedding cake give the man confidence they go to the village isn't completely and
utterly destroy the village
that's amazing
window uh... says look he did have some
you know concerns as they were bombing the village
and what he's concerned about is amazing
uh... let me tell you at his quote here are literally cringed
when we dropped bombs on these places he starts out with a look at good
he continues not because i cared about the enemy we were doing
or the a_t_m_ destroyed a g_m_ is the homemade explosives
but i knew the reconstruction would consume the remainder of my deployed light
uh... forget the enemy of course that the whole point of war secular and right
but how about the villagers
how about the people in the village
now they say they give the mornings
remember they can even go into the village
because it's littered with land mines and they're free to go and that's why did the
shortened the first place so are you absolutely convinced but they got every
innocent civilians in villages out of there before age on the twenty five tons of bombs
i hope they did their best effort
but that doesn't haggis someone still left in the house is that's not what this earning
uh... when here
he's concerned opt and that once i do this
i got to rebuild the thing
now look to our credit
after we bomb things we try to rebuild
which not a lot of other countries have dominated history of mankind right
that historic right
why are we bombing it in the first place
and what kind of momentum
r_u_ losing
by not destroy english do did you get remembered initial response was
we have to destroy the village otherwise will risk our momentum
but then you're gonna have to stay there for months on end may be years on and to rebuild
the village
so what did you won't let them go
this is a star killer and rediculous and
for the people that are living in that village barbaric
he says that lessons start rebuilding
then the if there was of course trouble
who are the true landowners very hard to know in afghanistan holds a deep because a lot
of people don't nobody
that everybody starts argue so i don't know how that way
no i have all these different tracks of my and then they got to trust the people who
are the leadership in that village
patel who did it did not own the land
uh... and then you get in the land valuation how much was the land were i don't know
which i think that you think some people didn't get in
massively homes in that exchange innocent people lost their homes because the leadership
that although that was my cousins or
and then
they an end
they talk about their locals as such belittling ways like
uh... they say
of you know some of them were afraid would run away with the money if we just gave no
money
now we need to get them involved in rebuilding this town so that we know there personally
invested they want to have the republic at a meeting dropped twenty five thousand miles
on it
now brought well who is talking about all this liggett's hunky-dory
she goes on to say
betrays came by and she says picturesque amended foreign separates and related entry james
terry
the r_c_ self commanding general
to take this seller approach the what the one three twenty it was doing on a grander
scale as it applies
the districts north of
bargain dot
betrays comes by
and says this rocks
lessons are broader scale
this is the war in afghanistan
it gets worse
talking about that kind of sammy attitude
uh... there's a guy named mohammed in the village who's described as the biggest batter
in the village
yeah i am i got to know if you just destroyed my home and by the way my form
they destroyed all the work is nearby there goes their livelihood
gee i wonder why people might want walk away
and here's how broad all describes muhammad quote
mohammed who would affect the theatrics
had accused when the ruining his life after the demolition
f_m_ fiat tricks
i wonder how qualified what would feel if someone destroyed her entire out if this image
lives in a sober over a city block
they destroyed the whole they insert
that if the actrix that you're bothered by that
these people have
financing planet
in a new afghans the same way they view americans
when they do any other human being
you're somebody's village and you think that
it's the absence of their upset by it
i don't understand men firewall more from broad well
to set president cars as advisor bahamas so the disease
set back and forth forces cause unreasonable damage to homes and orchards
and this was the number of people which is enormously true
she says
clearly operations or a necessary evil to weed out the tali barn
andy awfully devastating destruction in their wake
but what is he spelled to note is a tremendous efforts and
uh... efforts some units like the one three twentieth
have made to rebuild this country
but they wouldn't have to rebuild the country if they didn't destroyed in the first place
well used by overall point for you
what are we doing
why do we have to weed out the taliban if it
locals are in favor of it ido
but i don't know shelled their al-qaeda anymore
how are we saving the bones from tell the thai baht
if it goes on the side of the taliban and they made home-made explosives
this box
if you look like the water saving
and we see them by destroying polarizing their village
and now we are is like all right we got a plant the you know the
trees back again and rebuilding orchards and god knows how long i don't think
so they are doing in their livelihood but you know what they're worried that it's gonna
take too long because the
pomegranate or ceilings et cetera take too long rebuild as they were so they're going
to make them switch the saffron
and that'll work
it has changed their entire
way of doing things and you know if several missus much money as bob grant who knows
who cares
we have to save the village by destroyed
this is what we're doing afghanistan and it's a disaster
and she and wonder why the locals don't trust us
if they get back to your home or to your supper or do you know city block
or to your city and state would you trust them
get out get out get out get out all it's doing
is getting you beginning money
the defense contractors
to get richer and richer and richer
this has nothing to do with helping the people who have been sent
certainly has nothing to do with helping the people of the united states of america how
does that help us not at all
who already have dozens artis
