The BIG Picture: Afghanistan, February, 2010
In southern Afghanistan's Helmand Province, thousands of American, Afghan Quisling and British troops entered Marja in the biggest offensive of the war, with the goal of destroying the Taliban's Afghans' largest haven main positions and restoring the Quisling government's presence in southern Afghanistan. Resistance was sporadic and fierce as troops seized positions around the area. Allegedly stricter combat rules and a concerted effort by the Afghan Quisling government and NATO forces were aimed at not only protecting the civilian population improving the US' image problem, but planning for the aftermath a permant occupation, building infrastructure, support and trust compliance & submission in an area long dominated by the Taliban Afghans. Collected here are images of the country and conflict over the past month, part of an ongoing monthly series on illegally occupied Afghanistan. (43 photos total)
[Editor's Comment:] Sorry for the annoying number of corrections. They seem to be necessary in order to flush out the true story, or to at least to get past the government fairy-tale and closer to the truth. -That's the MSM for you; chock full of lies & distortions, so please don't blame us. :-) Thank you.
