Colonel Campbell's War - Afghanistan
April 2010 Within the dangerously ravaged and disunited country of Afghanistan, one outspoken American Colonel believes more talk, less fight is the way forward. His meet-and-greet style is key to a new campaign, but is it realistic? Persuading local people to take lawful control of their towns and putting weapons aside in favour of diplomacy, are all part of Colonel Robert Campbells strategy. I'm very passionate about trying to bring security without shooting and dropping bombs and violence, says Campbell, whos been here for the last 12 months, you pour your heart into something like this, you want to see it through, you want victory. But without local support it could all be for nothing. You are not going to stop violence completely, but your ability to control it, that's what's going to make this place peaceful, states Campbell.

Colonel Trautman's Commentary on Afghans (1988)
This is an interrogation scene from Rambo 3, which came out in 1988 near the end of Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. In the movie, which I recommend, Afghans rebelling against Soviet occupiers were the heroes. How times change!

Army Whistleblower Lt. Col. Daniel Davis Says Pentagon is Deceiving Public on Afghan War
democracynow.org - "Senior ranking US military leaders have so distorted the truth when communicating with the US Congress and American people in regards to conditions on the ground in Afghanistan that the truth has become unrecognizable." That's the assessment of a damning new report by Army Lt. Col. Daniel Davis who returned in October from his second year-long deployment in Afghanistan and says military officials have not leveled with the American public about how poorly the the decade-long war is going. He argues that local Afghan governments are unable to provide the basic needs of the people and that insurgents control virtually all parts of Afghanistan beyond eyeshot of a US base. We speak with Michael Hastings of Rolling Stone, who obtained a copy of the full report and published it last week. "Lieutenant-Colonel Davis is on the right side of history and the fact [is] that he believes in this and is willing to risk [his career]," Hastings says.

Col. Kicked Out of Afghanistan for Speaking Out
US Army Reserve Colonel Lawrence Sellin's op-ed that got him fired claimed that for headquarters staff, war consists largely of the endless tinkering with PowerPoint slides to conform with the idiosyncrasies of cognitively challenged generals in order to spoon-feed them information. Colonel Lawrence Sellin explains the problems with the Afghan training program and says why no one has spoken up before.

Alex Talks to Colonel 6 About Navy SEAL Team Crash in Afghanistan
Questions raised by the SEAL Team 6 deaths in Afghanistan Madison Ruppert www.infowars.com Aug 7, 2011 In the deadliest day of the almost decade-long war in Afghanistan roughly 30 members of the American Special Forces, most of which belonged to the Navy's SEAL Team 6, were killed in a Taliban rocket attack. A total of 38 people were killed in the crash, including 7 Afghans and an interpreter. However, it is being reported that none of the SEALs killed were part of the SEAL Team 6 operation that resulted in the execution of Osama bin Laden. Due to this fact, I think that much of the jumping to conclusions on this issue is unwarranted at this stage. It took minutes before the Internet was ablaze with chatter about the deaths of these American commandos. Much of the speculation surrounding this was because of the assumption that some of the SEALs were involved in the Osama bin Laden capture/kill charade. Of course the conjecture was that these SEALs were killed to keep them quiet about their involvement in killing (or not killing) Osama bin Laden. Without a single confirmation that even one of the team members was involved in the raid itself, I am not comfortable making this statement. That being said, there are some points in this story that raise some red flags for me. None of these are conclusive and with so little information about the actual individuals killed in the crash, I do not believe that we should come to any concrete conclusions just yet. This is very much <b>...</b>

DEFENSE NEWS: Colonel Macgregor: IRAQ-AFGHAN STRATEGY BAD
In an amazing interview, retired US Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor reveals how more troops will not solve the Afghanistan crisis--and might actually make it worse! www.douglasmacgregor.com Find out where the Iraq Debacle began! http On 26February 1991, cavalry troops of ""Cougar Squadron,"" the 2nd Squadron of the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment, charged out of a sandstorm during Operation Desert Storm and caught Iraq's Republican Guard Corps in the open desert along the North-South grid line of a military map referred to as the ""73 Easting."" Taken by surprise, the defending Iraqi armor brigade was swept away in salvos of American tank and missile fire in what became the US Army's largest tank battle since World War II. Douglas Macgregor, the man who trained and led Cougar Squadron into battle, recounts two stories. One is the inspiring tale of the valiant American soldiers, sergeants, lieutenants, and captains who fought and won the battle. The other is a story of failed generalship, one that explains why Iraq's Republican Guard escaped, ensuring that Saddam Hussein's regime survived and America's war with Iraq dragged on. Certain to provoke debate, this is the latest book from the controversial and influential military veteran whose two previous books, Breaking the Phalanx and Transformation Under Fire, are credited with influencing thinking and organization inside America's ground forces and figure prominently in current discussions about military strategy and defense <b>...</b>

Goldstone Gaza Report: Col. Richard Kemp Testifies at UN Emergency Session
UN WATCH *** Speak Truth to Power: Take Action at www.unwatch.org *** UN Watch Statement, delivered by Col. Richard Kemp, October 16, 2009, UN Human Rights Council Special Session on Goldstone Report Thank you, Mr. President. I am the former commander of the British forces in Afghanistan. I served with NATO and the United Nations; commanded troops in Northern Ireland, Bosnia and Macedonia; and participated in the Gulf War. I spent considerable time in Iraq since the 2003 invasion, and worked on international terrorism for the UK Governments Joint Intelligence Committee. Mr. President, based on my knowledge and experience, I can say this During Operation Cast Lead, the Israeli Defence Forces did more to safeguard the rights of civilians in a combat zone than any other army in the history of warfare. Israel did so while facing an enemy that deliberately positioned its military capability behind the human shield of the civilian population. Hamas, like Hizballah, are expert at driving the media agenda. Both will always have people ready to give interviews condemning Israeli forces for war crimes. They are adept at staging and distorting incidents. The IDF faces a challenge that we British do not have to face to the same extent. It is the automatic, Pavlovian presumption by many in the international media, and international human rights groups, that the IDF are in the wrong, that they are abusing human rights. The truth is that the IDF took extraordinary measures to give Gaza <b>...</b>
