| Three Afghan Provinces Too Hot for American Invaders to Handle |
| 2004-06-19 |
| From Jihad Unspun A firefight between the Americans and their allied forces and the Taliban raged for five hours yesterday and resulted in the deaths of seven enemy soldiers, with several others were wounded. The Mujahideen destroyed two military vehicles and three Humvees also in the operation. The Taliban engaged the enemy forces in Lawar as American and Afghan forces were traveling from the Pakistan border to Khost. Taliban Mujahideen ambushed the convoy with rockets and grenades. A firefight broke out and the fighting was describes as severe and 5 vehicles including 2 cars and 3 Humvees were destroyed. Several soldiers were wounded and were transferred to Khost airport. Paktika, Paktia and Zabul have become too hot for the American invaders to handle and all NGOs have stopped their operations due to the war. American forces have halted all but essential travel outside of their bases in these provinces. Ouruzgan has seen a rise in the resurgence of the Taliban, however the power of Taliban in these three provinces remains the strongest. |

| #8 The size of the lies from the other side is an indicator of the justness of our fight. This is similar the WW2 propaganda in the Pacific where the Japanese broadcast devastating losses for the US (the 5000 ship US Navy was sunk several times over), but each month, the US got closer to the Japanese home islands. |

| #6 everything they know about math, truth, journalism, and fighting came from the Koran - need I say more? |

| #4 .com- Exceptional point. During the Bosnian campaign, there was a site being run from over there that seemed to have a particular dislike form my old unit, the 20th FW at Shaw AFB, SC. The guy had an incredible list of losses from the 20th - complete with times, dates, places, and other very plausible details including tail numbers...which I always found quite fascinating, as I go past the Shaw flightline every few days and saw some of these ships sitting there. A fiendish trick on our part, I suppose. Mike |

| #3 If you went back to the beginning of Afghanistan or Iraq and began counting just the US military vehicles (humvees, Bradleys, M1 tanks, helicopters) that Spun-up has claimed were destroyed by the courageous mujjies, it would likely be a very large percentage of the inventories sent to the respective theaters, maybe even exceed the totals. And, if true, we would have none left. Poor us. Since the reported numbers are demonstrably vastly wildly different than reality and our troops do not have to walk everywhere they go, one must conclude that math is definitely not their strong suit. Rather one-sided enthusiasm and cheerleading appear to be much more interesting and enthralling to their staff. |

| #2 Flaming molten lava was there? Fire breathting Taliban made of molten stone? Here is the real story and all you need to know about that battle from www.military.com. Read it and weep goat fuckers! But attacks on U.S. forces continue, with the latest comprising of the attempted car bombing of an American convoy in eastern Afghanistan on Monday. After a "pitiful explosion" in the vehicle, the assailant got out and ran toward the convoy with a pistol, Hilferty said. "He's dead now." |

| #1 Uh... sure, right. Whatever. I'll wait for reports from a website with some shred of credibility. |
