The Afghan forces and their U.S. allies can’t prevent this from happening even in Afghanistan’s capital. The war in Afghanistan has no purpose and no end point. President Trump should bring our troops home.
“Terrorist attacks rock Afghan capital, leaving casualties,” Xinhua, May 9, 2018:
KABUL, May 9 (Xinhua) — Several people were killed and some others injured in two successive terror attacks in Afghanistan’s capital of Kabul on Wednesday, witnesses and sources said.
The first attack occurred around 11:30 a.m. local time after several gunmen and suicide bombers struck a police station in Dashti Barchi locality, Police District 13, in western Kabul, according to Interior Ministry spokesman Najib Danish.
The second attack came around 25 minutes later in central Kabul when terrorists armed with suicide jackets and guns stormed a police station and nearby buildings in Shahri Naw locality in Police District 10 of the city.
Government troops cordoned off the area shortly after the blasts, keeping people from gathering at the sites.
At least four suicide bombers detonated their explosives during the attacks and sporadic gunfights between terrorists and Afghan Special Operations Forces were ongoing in the two locations as of afternoon….
Malcolm (South Afric) says
Afghanistan is a bottomless pit, where resources are given, manpower lost, to an ungrateful government, who is smiling all the way to the bank as long as the West fights its war with their money and supports its economy, while it retains the drug trade..
J D S says
…..and Muslims keep on killing and killing and killing and…..
AND THE WORLD STANDS STILL!

Patrik Sternemark says
Just look here! When these people can’t find people from the west to murder and blow up, they start to attack their own people. This is a clear thing that show how these people work! They are so goddamn low and will never evergo forward and head on, they are going backwards!!
Michael Copeland says
“No stronger retrograde force exists in the world.”
Churchill
Savvy Kafir says
That is a powerful quote from Churchill. He really nailed it. And it was based upon first-hand experience serving in the military on the present-day border of Afghanistan & Pakistan, and fighting the “dervishes” in the Sudan.
Regarding the futility of waging war in Afghanistan, he said: “Financially it is ruinous. Morally it is wicked. Militarily it is an open question, and politically it is a blunder.” It only took him six weeks to come to that conclusion. We’ve been wasting lives & treasure there for 16 years, and counting.
If the “leaders” of the U.S. (and Britain) understood that no Muslim nation is really our friend (and certainly not one as backwards as Afghanistan, with its illiterate, très-pious population), and that none will ever be a reliable ally, they never would have put boots on the ground in that god-forsaken country. (Except for a few Special Forces guys, maybe, to locate and laser-paint targets for bombing raids.)
And they certainly would never have wasted God-knows-how-much money trying to rebuild Afghanistan, in a misguided effort to win the hearts & minds of people who embrace a 7th Century worldview — and who tend to HATE anyone who does not share that worldview.
It’s total insanity, based upon a shocking ignorance of our supposed “allies” & their ideology.
Did NONE of those people, or their advisors, ever bother to read the Qur’an? Or do a little research into the ideas & attitudes & aspirations of the Afghan people? How can world leaders be so f*cking stupid and short-sighted, as to go in blind when launching a war that’s likely to be very expensive in terms of both lives & treasure? Sun Tzu would NOT be happy about this.
To become leaders of the free world (or their advisors in matters of national security, war-making, & international affairs), some basic knowledge of the enemies of Western Civilization should be a prerequisite. I think that’s a reasonable expectation at this point, 16 years after the 9/11 attacks, as World War III keeps raging & gathering momentum. …………………………………………………

Those jihadist /Muslims had a very harsh reality check after he died in that murderous jihad suicide/ homicide bombing attacks in Kabul, Afghanistan.. For instead of finding themselves in a paradise, with or without virgins, they found themselves , to his shock and horror, trapped and suffering in the fires of hell, Luke 16:1-31. As the Bible teaches murderer “will not inherit the kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:21. The Bible also gives a list of those who are fated to suffer terribly forever in the Lake of fire and murderers are on that list, Revelations 21:8.
Furthermore, all those heinous jihad suicide/homicide attacker are both murderous and demonic. It now should be made known that this jihad murderous bombing is the outcome of the Islamic doctrine from the Qu‘’ran [the Koran] of a sexual paradise with many virgins, houris , in it for the male Muslim /jihadist who dies fighting in the jihad for the cause of Islam is found in the “holy book” of Islam, the Koran, in Sura 44:54. 55: 56. 78:31. Also there is the Koranic instruction of Sura 9:111 which teaches “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed.” Getting back to the origin doctrine of Islam from the Koran of a sex –filled paradise with many houris for the use only by the male jihadist who dies fight for the advancement of Islam. All this started when the founder and prophet of Islam, Muhammad manufactured Islam he put , had stolen, some of sex doctrine of Zoroastrian mythology and a yet smaller bit of Hindu mythological sex teachings along with as well as mixture pagan Arabian folklore and myth plus a heavy dose of Judaism and Christianity . Also some of it apostate “Christianity” For the prophet of Islam, Muhammad, couldn’t discern the difference between genuine Bible based Christianity and bogus “Christianity.” Those words and teaching Muhammad gathered from many sources, including the virgins /sex place mythology. , and taught as “Divine Truth” were written down on many things then later compiled and then went into the composition of the Koran. So the hoax of the Koran is actually a mixture and fusion Judaism Christianity and mythology of other religions and now the Muslim clerics with the Koranic brainwashing of young Muslims who are thoroughly mind programmed into believing this Islamic/Koranic virgins myth. This deception of false doctrine /myth into the thoughts of some people was predicted in the Bible along with the false teachers who engage in the indoctrination of such a myth /doctrine into the minds and hearts other people . For it is written “For the time will come when they will not stand wholesome teaching, but will follow their own fancy and gather a crown of teachers to tickle their ears. They will stop their ears to the truth and turn to mythology.” Second Timothy 4:3,4. [N.E.B.]
Frank Anderson says
The decision where to fight is an honest question. If Afghanistan is abandoned to the jihadis how long before it is used again as a base for attacks elsewhere? There are plenty of potential and actual bases right now. I can’t say honestly that one more or less will make a great difference.
Talk about Kabul being unable to prevent attacks: What major city anywhere in the world is immune? Paris? London? New York? Los Angeles? Knoxville?Toronto? Melbourne? Sidney? Moscow? Berlin? Rome? Tel Aviv? Jerusalem? Should they be abandoned also because we cannot prevent terror attacks? Once retreat starts where does it stop? Once weakness and lack of resolve is shown, how are they recovered. Evil feeds on weakness. Imagine the impact of several squadrons of C-130’s spraying poppy fields, and getting really nasty at every target opportunity. Right now the other side has too much influence on the pace and activity of the war. Terrorize the terrorists. Make them fear us instead of showing them our fear of them.
Neville Chamberlain is dead and does not need to be imitated. He and his followers caused 1 war and the death of multiple tens of millions of people by spineless appeasement. Now, not millions but billions of lives and all concepts of liberty are at risk. Islam gives infidels, other than Jews, the choice to “convert, submit or die”. Infidels need to add to that list their choice to fight and win.

Build a wall around the region. Get out and deal with the survivor.

Rarely, look at the trouble the US is having to build a wall along its open southern border. What is your second choice?

america can defeat islamist in afghanistan if america makes full scale invasion of afghanistan like soviet union
Lydia Church says
This is just a general comment that relates to these things:
It is another mind blower that muslims like itm cheer when any non muslim gets punished for not being a muslim, as was seen the other day with the man in prison for ‘blasphemy’ charges. They really do feel justified about persecuting non muslims and don’t even try to hide it! Such as those land in hell.
So then… by their own logic… (and they can’t complain because that would make them hypocrites)…
we in all the non muslim countries should round up all the muslims for blasphemy charges and imprison them and do all the same persecutions to them! Any ‘non Christian’ statement can be seen as blasphemy, and such as in the koran is blasphemy, so there you go! Serves them right! They deserve it!!!
Off to the gulag with all the muslims!
Let’s see how they would whine and b_t_h then!
Nothing is happening to them and they are already crying ‘victim!’
It’s so retarded!
Rarely says
They just like to kill. Well, boys will be boys. Everyone needs a hobby.
Terra Nova says
May be the USA should get their military out of any muslim countries and only care about themselves at this moment. I saw in Hyde park London, that more and more muslims are accusing Americans and the Europeans that they did invade their countries and that is why they came to conquer us.
Did they try to conquer you? No. You forget that your dictators oppressed you and you were all wailing and asking for help !!! You, forgot that. You are way out and creating yourselves to be the victims again.
You are totally out of order. You are so full of lies, but you won’t prevail, we will not let you!
Frank Anderson says
T.N. who is invading whom? Millions of muslims are conducting a massive invasion worldwide at every opportunity to spread the deadly disease of islam, in strict accord with the teachings and practices of violent conquest that are final, perfect, complete and unchangeable. Sending a paltry number of military personnel to control terrorists who will attack anyone anywhere is not the same as sending millions of crude, lazy parasites to destroy a civilized society. Muslims will accuse anyone of anything-that is part of their basic teaching to lie at every opportunity to obtain advantage over all non-believers. As more people see muslim lies, more people will see it is time to resist.

Very true, Frank.
Frank Anderson says
GI, I was (what word fits?) when I ran the numbers today: Depending on who is giving the estimates between 300,000,000 and 1,000,000,000 people have been murdered by the muslim conquest in 1400 years. Of course the number rises daily. 1400 years is a little over 12,000,000 hours, That comes down to every 2 minutes for 1400 years, between 1 and 3 people have been murdered.
Basic rule of criminal conspiracy law: “The knowledge of one is the knowledge of all; The acts of one are the acts of all.” To give this conspiracy of death and slavery the legal shield of religion is beyond absurd.
gravenimage says
Whatever the exact numbers are, Frank, they are appallingly high.
brane pilot says
Birthrates in Afghanistan are among the highest in the world outside Africa.
They cannot employ, educate, feed or provide basic security for the existing population.
It is time to get out of the collapsing Third World while we still can, abrogate immigration and refugee treaties negotiated in a different historical era, and secure our borders.
A Third World human Tsunami is coming.
Soon, it will be impossible to leave these countries without creating a humanitarian disaster.
Jacqueline says
The Taliban fighting for control of Afghanistan are proxy soldiers for Pakistan. The U.S. needs to stop sending money it doesn’t have (remember the $21 trillion debt?) to both nations.
