- Dear Mr. Rense...
-
- The US losses in Central Afghanistan should further put
to rest the false notion that all is well in Afghanistan. In fact, all
is not well. Afghanistan is a swamp for foreign armies. Those that entered
Afghanistan have always sank to the bottom of the swamp and could not draw
themselves out. The US situation there is no exception to this rule.

US troops laid siege to an area where there were a number of Taleban in
Barika village [phonetic], Dehrawut District in Urozgan Province.

fighters pushed back the US troops and managed to break the siege.

- Following the fighting, US aircraft bombarded the Barika
area, injuring five villagers. Later the US troops took these villagers
to an unknown place.

soldiers were killed in a Taleban attack on a government convoy which used
to guard the governor of Ghazni Province in Dara-e Chahardah [phonetic]
in Nawor District, Ghazni Province, early this morning, he added.
