the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan:
Pentagon’s frustration and Obama’s Expectations during the Night Stopover
Muharram 06, 1432 A.H, Monday, December 13, 2010
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
American president Obama made a 4-hour
long stopover at the Bagram air base during a clandestine trip
to Afghanistan and fatuously assured himself that the American
forces would make advancement in Afghanistan and turn the tide
against the Taliban. He said, the Americans forces would
achieve the objectives for which they have come here.
American President Obama is making these assertions in a time
that the Pentagon in a recent report to the American Congress
has said that their current military operations against
Taliban and the goal of bolstering the Kabul regime is falling
short of its timeframe. Nor there is any vista of hope in the
coming days to turn the table.
A number of experts, viewing he recent brief trip of Obama to Afghanistan, have opined that Obama is facing a poor image dilemma as per the popular surveys conducted among the American public as a result of the war in Afghanistan. So he extended the war by committing a troops surge through sending tens of thousands of new troops. Rationally, he should have put an end to the illegitimate Bush's war and ended the legacy of his stubbornness.
The American are witnessing that the war in Afghans is nearing its end with the defeat and historical disgrace of America and that the Taliban are gaining strength with the passage of time, so their resentments against Obama are constantly on the rise.
The people’s disenchantment with Obama
came to the open during the recent Americans election which
culminated into a smashing defeat to the democrats who belong
to Obama’s party.
A French political analyst Bruno Bunfa, in an interview to the
media, said that hasty trip of Obama to Afghanistan reflects
the jittery of the American president because the war in
Afghanistan needs more expenditure while the American people
are not ready to carry out the heavy weight of taxes and other
financial restraints. He says, the former Soviet Union fought
the war in Afghanistan for one decade to achieve their goals
but achieved nothing. Obama and the Americans should not
continue their policy of repression and coercion and showdown
of forces in a country which is known for not have been ever
governed through force and oppression.
The Americans and the Kabul regime rulers say that there were
technical and security problems that the American president
Obama nether held a press conference nor met any official of
the Kabul regime, returning home during the stillness of the
night. However, analysts believe that Obama had no guts to
confront the public of the world and the Afghans and justify
the rationale behind the prolongation of the Afghanistan war
or at least, talk about a credible strategy about continuation
of the occupation of Afghanistan. It is because the surge, the
bombardment, the detainment of the officials of the Islamic
Emirate of Afghanistan and the initiation of spurious efforts
for peace have all went awry. The conspiracies have failed and
the schemes simply boomeranged.
