			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>NATO troops killed 12 Afghani civilians by mistake, a common occurrence in the fog of war. Goldstone did not rush to investigate the Brits, and neither did the UNSC schedule an extraordinary meeting. Those demarches are reserved for when Israel kills a few Arabs in Gaza.</p>
<p>In its report on Goldstone&#8217;s allegations, IDF avoided taking a simple and unassailable position: yes, we did kill hundreds of Arab civilians in Gaza, just as American troops have killed non-combatants in Korea, Vietnam, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, and many other places. They are collateral damage. We cannot and will not bend over backwards verifying our targets before every shot. If they do not like that, we can help them all cross into Jordan so that they make it a Palestinian state.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Obama understands that he has to extract American troops from Afghanistan before the Taliban takes over the country, but the fundamentalist group <a href="http://samsonblinded.org/news/taliban-is-strong-16117">refuses to negotiate</a>. The Americans, therefore, have decided to turn up the heat on the Taliban with an assault on the town of Marjah in a backwater Helmand province.</p>
<p>The assumption is wrong. The Taliban won&#8217;t take their defeat at Marjah as a problem. Unlike elected presidents, they think long-term, and they know that the Americans will withdraw, Marjah or no Marjah.</p>
<p>The real question is, what does it take for American soldiers to risk their lives for no cause?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Afghani president Karzai has appealed to the Taliban to start negotiations immediately. The Taliban insist on the withdrawal of US troops before negotiations, but Karzai has suggested that a negotiated agreement will speed up the withdrawal.</p>
<p>No way can Karzai make such a bold offer without American approval. Any agreement with the Taliban will bring them into the government, and soon after the American withdrawal they will castrate Karzai, just as the mojahedeen did to the Soviet puppet Najibullah.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The American puppet Karzai has unveiled an absurd plan to pay Taliban fighters to lay down their arms. The plan will also give them sinecures.</p>
<p>The idea clearly comes from Palestine, where it was carried out in a different context: lazy, unmotivated, corrupt Fatah gangsters were living civilian lives anyway, and most of them were only too happy to accept nominal jobs and cash in exchange for a promise to refrain from terrorism, which they had not engaged in for years, anyway.</p>
<p>Honest, militant, and highly motivated Taliban fighters are a different bunch.</p>

The Foreign Ministry agreed to fund genetic research to determine whether another Indian tribe, the Afridi Pathans, are descendants of the Jewish tribe of Efraim. Never mind that we have no genetic samples from Efraim. If the research turns up a positive correlation, Israel will have to admit another mob of barbarians who possibly have a remote Jewish ancestor.</p>
<p>Funny, the Afghani Pashtun, a backbone tribe of the Taliban and mojahedeen murderers, also trace their ancestry to the Afridi Pathans. It might not be long before we hand down immigration papers to Mullah Omar.</p>

For the first time, southern provinces settled by Pashtun tribes voted overwhelmingly against a Pashtun leader, Karzai. The actual ballots were subsequently replaced with those in favor of Karzai.</p>
<p>The fact that Pashtuns put their hatred of the US puppet ahead of tribal allegiance speaks volumes about the break-up of tribal society in Afghanistan, which might eventually give way to an Afghani national identity.</p>
