The Afghanistan Report the Pentagon Doesn't Want You to Read
The Afghanistan Report the Pentagon Doesn't Want You to Read
Our country's infrastructure is falling apart, and most states are having to cut money for public services, but 'our' government thinks it's important to spend billions of dollars on fleets of drones to monitor us all? And this despite the fact that there have been no 'real' terrorist attacks that I can remember, other than the ones perpetrated by the criminal organization which controls our government(s). The reason they are building a police-state to control us all, because they know we are on to them, and our traitors in government (inner party) don't want to be lynched in the streets. They are cowards betting on 'big brother' winning control of our planet, and they are terrified we will overcome the NWO....
Will we be able to stop them before the police-state is too powerful to overcome?

Threatening Russia: NATO Fighter Jets Can Patrol "Anything They Want"
The rabid Empire is provoking Russia nonstop. They are circling Russia with fighter jets. This is not a small matter. It will be answered by Russia eventually if they continue to provoke. If the situation escalates into a full Iran war and any of these US fighter planes 'accidentally' stray into Russian air space and Russia is good and sick of this, what will happen? A small thing like this could escalate a full war between the US and Russia. What is NATO's pointless point?
I spent exactly half my life living under American fighter jets. The half of life which I spent outside the US. I lived in West Germany which was under US military occupation - constant US fighter jets overhead in exercises, cartwheeling in the sky, breaking the sound barrier, nose-diving over small towns, being an aggressive noisy rude menacing presence in the sky at all times. And then the fighter jets came and bombed the Balkans, more American fighter jets in another country, this time delivering DU death. Enough of them. They are harassing the whole planet with this....

Leaked report belies Afghan surge 'success'....
By Gareth Porter
WASHINGTON - An analysis by Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis, which the US Army has not approved for public release but has been leaked to Rolling Stone magazine, provides the most authoritative refutation thus far of the official military narrative of success in the Afghanistan War since the troop surge began in early 2010.
In the 84-page unclassified report, Davis, who returned last autumn after his second tour of duty in Afghanistan, attacks the credibility of claims by senior military leaders that the war strategy led by the United States and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has succeeded in weakening the Taliban insurgent forces and in building Afghan security forces capable of taking primary responsibility for security in the future.
The report, which Davis had submitted to the army in January for clearance to make it public, was posted on the website of Rolling Stone magazine by journalist Michael Hastings on Friday. In a blog for the magazine, Hastings reported that "officials familiar with the situation" had said the Pentagon was "refusing" to release the report, but that it had been making the rounds within the US government, including the White House.
Hastings wrote that he had obtained it from a US government official. Contacted by IPS Friday, Davis would not comment on the publication of the report or its contents.
Writing that he is "no Wikileaks guy Part II", Davis reveals no classified information in the report. But he has given a classified version of the report, which cites and quotes from dozens of classified documents, to several members of the House and Senate, including both Democrats and Republicans.
"If the public had access to the classified reports," Davis writes, "they would see the dramatic gulf between what is often said in public by our senior leaders and what is true behind the scenes."
Davis is in a unique position to assess the real situation on the ground in Afghanistan. As a staff officer of the "Rapid Equipping Force", he traveled more than 14,500 kilometers to every area where US troop presence was significant and had conversations with more than 250 US soldiers, from privates to division commanders.
The report takes aim at the March 2011 Congressional testimony by General David Petraeus, then the top commander in Afghanistan, and the Defense Department's April 2011 Report to Congress as either "misleading, significantly skewed or completely inaccurate".
Davis attacks the claim in both the Petraeus testimony and the DOD report that US and NATO forces had "arrested the insurgents' momentum" and "reversed it in a number of important areas".
That claim is belied, Davis argues, by the fact that the number of insurgent attacks, the number of improvized explosive devices (IEDs) found and detonated and the number of US troops killed and wounded have all continued to mount since 2009, the last year before the addition of 30,000 US troops and 10,000 NATO troops.
Davis notes that Petraeus and other senior officials of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), the US-NATO command in Afghanistan, have boasted of having killed and captured thousands of insurgent leaders and rank and file soldiers, cut insurgent supply routes and found large numbers of weapons caches as well as depriving the insurgents of their main bases of operation since spring 2010.
If these claims were accurate measures of success, Davis writes, after the Taliban had been driven out of their strongholds, "there ought to have been a reduction in violence not a continual, unbroken string of increases".
In fact, Davis writes, Taliban attacks "continued to rise at almost the same rate it had risen since 2005 all the way through the summer of 2011" and remained "well above 2009 levels in the second half of 2011" even though it leveled off or dropped slightly in some places.
Davis notes that total attacks, total number of IEDs and total US casualties in 2011 were 82%, 113% and 164% higher, respectively, than the figures for 2009, the last year before the surge of 30,000 troops. The annual number of US dead and wounded increased from 1,764 in 2009 to 4,662 in 2011.
The veteran Army officer quotes Congressional testimony by Admiral Mike Mullen on December 2, 2009, as citing a lesser increase in Taliban attacks in 2009 of 60% over the 2008 level as a rationale for a significant increase in US troop strength in Afghanistan, implying that the war was being lost.
Davis leaves no doubt about his overall assessment that the US war effort has failed. "Even a cursory observation of key classified reports and metrics," Davis concludes, "leads overwhelmingly to the conclusion that over the past two years, despite the surge of 30,000 American Soldiers, the insurgent force has gained strength..."
Davis is also scathing in his assessment of the Afghan army and police, who have been described as constantly improving and on their way to taking responsibility for fighting the insurgents.
"What I saw first-hand, in virtually every circumstance," writes Davis, "was a barely functioning organization - often cooperating with the insurgent enemy..."
Both in his longer report and in an article for Armed Forces Journal published online on February 5, Davis recounts his experience at an Afghan National Police station in Kunar province in January 2011. Arriving two hours after a Taliban attack on the station, Davis asked the police captain whether he had sent out patrols to find the insurgents.
After the question had been conveyed by the interpreter, Davis recalls, "The captain's head wheeled around, looking first at the interpreter and turning to me with an incredulous expression. Then he laughed."
"No! We don't go after them," he quotes the captain as saying. "That would be dangerous!"
According to Davis, US troops who work with Afghan policemen in that province say they "rarely leave the cover of the checkpoints", allowing the Taliban to "literally run free".
Describing the overall situation, Davis writes, "[I]n a number of high profile mission opportunities over the past 11 months the ANA [Afghan National Army] and ANP [Afghan National Police] have numerous times run from the battle, run from rumors, or made secret deals with the Taliban."
The draft posted online notes after that statement that the classified version of the paper has been "redacted", indicating that Davis provides further details about those "secret deals" in the classified version.
The Army dissenter calls on the House and Senate Armed Services Committees to "conduct a bi-partisan investigation into the various charges of deception or dishonesty in this report". He urges that such a hearing include testimony not only from senior military officials but from mid- and senior-level intelligence analysts from the Defense Intelligence Agency and other intelligence agencies.
Both Senate and House Armed Services Committees have exhibited little or no interest in probing behind the official claims of success in Afghanistan. That passive role reflects what many political observers, including some members of congress, see as cozy relationships among most committee members,military leaders, Pentagon officials and major military contractors.
It remains to be seen whether Davis's raising of the issue of misleading claims of success in a front-page New York Times story on February 6 and in subsequent television appearances will bring pressure on those committees from other members to hold hearings on whether senior military officials are telling the truth about the situation in Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, the US military leadership in Afghanistan is brushing off Davis's critique as having no importance. During a briefing in which he claimed continued steady progress in Afghanistan, Army Lieutenant General Curtis Scaparrotti, deputy commander of US Forces-Afghanistan, dismissed the Davis report as "one person's view of this".
