U.S. Keep Continuing Long Term Military Existence and Conflicts in the Region!
(Translated)

News:

John Campbell, the colonist forces top military commander in Afghanistan, in a hearing session said to Congress that Afghan government controls only 70% of Afghanistan. He, on Tuesday, said to military committee of parliament that Taliban, ISL, Haqqani Network and Al-Qaeda are dangerous enemies to Afghanistan, U.S. and international community, and added that 8 districts are entirely under control of Taliban and 94 are under their severe threat.

Comment:

Being at the end of his mission in Afghanistan, the top military commander of colonizing forces is explaining such things to convince the Obama administration to be ready to keep large number of military personnel in Afghanistan. Similarly one day earlier Afghan Government announced its alliance with international coalition against ISL. In a gathering session of mentioned alliance in Rome of Italy, John Kerry, the U.S. Secretary of State declared his greatest support to this decision of the Afghan Government.

The colonists themselves manage the coming and going of colonizing military personnel, and the number of colonizing personnel is not known even to their puppet Government in Afghanistan. In order for Obama to try to respond to the domestic call and convince public opinion, he declared the reduction of military personnel from 9800 to 5500 till January of next year.  But this is America’s efforts to deviate the public perception while America has a firm decision to attain multi-faceted political, strategic and colonizing benefits from the geopolitical location of Afghanistan.

Taking into account the changing realities on the ground, the U.S. has always tried to pave ground for her military presence in Afghanistan. They sometimes express this awful intent. For example, Mac Torrenbery, a Congress member of Texas States said last Monday, “I always believed that specifying withdrawal date for military personnel from Afghanistan is a mistake.” He boldly added, “No one can say that military mission in Afghanistan needs another 5 years, 10 years or even 50 years.”

Right from the start of American fiscal year and at the time of changing military leadership of colonizing forces in Afghanistan, they thrived to show the situation worse in Afghanistan and prepared vast financial resources for fighting in Afghanistan. Therefore, General Campbell on February 2 in an interview with BBC said if there is not considerable thrives for peace in next two months, the coming year will be bloodiest than last year. Meanwhile, Ashton Carter, the Defense Secretary, has requested to four fold the country’s military budget. He, on Wednesday, said to the reporters in a press conference in Washington D.C. that U.S. should be prepared for Russia increasing interference in Eastern Europe especially in Ukraine. He added, the enemy should understand if it has a plan to attack, it would be severely defeated. Similarly the Pentagon has requested to double its budget on war against ISL as well. Besides this including Obama and other high-level American authorities always emphasize that war against ISL will take tens of years till they eliminate their empty/broke ideology—which they mean Islam and Muslims.

General John Nicholson, Obama’s newly elected Military Commander for America’s colonizing forces in Afghanistan has said recently that the situation in Afghanistan is worsening and Afghan National Security Forces need years to be able to maintain security of their country. Therefore, he ensured the Military Service Committee of Congress that in order to stabilize Afghanistan, he will do complete research on how many military personnel to keep in Afghanistan.

John McCain, Republican Congress member, in a session of military services committee of congress said, “immediate withdrawal and the afterward consequences in Iraq has proved that war doesn’t end just because politician want to end.” He added, “No politicians can specify a schedule for the withdrawal of military personnel from Afghanistan and surrounding areas for ending terroristic activities.” This is astonishing when John Nicolson in reaction to John McCain explanation said, “I understand your saying but this is Afghanistan. In Afghanistan somewhat conflicts will always be going on.”

From the above-mentioned statements, it becomes obvious to all that America still plans to have a vast military existence and continuation of war in the region and Afghanistan. Now it is obvious to all that the strategic agreement of Karzai with America and treacherous security agreement of Ashraf Ghani didn’t bring prosperity but the situation became even worse. Also now the peace talk process with local resistance, the strive of Afghan Peace Council, the quadrilateral group (America, China, Pakistan and Afghanistan) efforts or the Pagwash organization peace efforts are all to deviate public opinion and give false hope to people and are failed endeavors. If Taliban are deceived and do peace with the puppet regime, the situation will not be better because ISL in the East of Afghanistan and the militia fighting against them are already prepared to keep the worsening situation continuing to give a reason and pave way to legitimize America’s and disbelievers long term military presence in Afghanistan.

Therefore Muslims of the region, Mujahidin, resisting militia and compromising Muslims in forced government need to work in the region for the establishment of Khilafah "Caliphate" Rashidah along with their resistance against colonists, and join Hizb ut Tahrir to do political struggle to foil colonists of all types of cultural and conceptual conspiracies, and instead of disunity and diversification among Muslims in the region and to work to establish righteous Khilafah "Caliphate" (Caliphate) on the strategy (Manhaj) of Mohammad (pbuh) through unifying and getting Nusrah from the Ummah’s armies. So that the colonizing crusaders face such a defeat in the current so-called war against terrorism and extremism that it became a historic example for people in the world.
