HERE THEY GO AGAIN!
Part of the U.S. Counterinsurgency programs (going back to the early days after WWII) is to arm a certain part of the population against the other.
This especially found its fruits under the new counterinsurgency programs in Iraq, known as the 'Sunni Awakening'
One would have to seriously ask:
How much more violence and corruption does the U.S. Plan to inflict upon the Afghan people.
Was it not the arming of the various „liberation groups“ against the Soviet Army in Afghanistan in the 1980's that led to an all out civil war after the Russians left?
Did the U.S. not support the arming and training of the original Taliban fighters in the 1990's in order „to bring order“ into the country?
As the inteior minister in Afghanistan points out in the article,
In Kunduz, after they defeated the Taliban in their villages, they became the power and they took money and taxes from the people,” Mr. Atmar, the interior minister, said. “This is not legal, and this is warlordism.”
