Afghanistan
You never heard of it
2006-11-28
In September, NATO and the ISAF launched a campaign to remove the Taliban from Panjwayi and Zhari districts, Kandahar Province, Afghanistan. You never heard about it.

For the ten days from September 2 to September 12, 2006, Afghan and allied forced moved in a pincer movement to reoccupy the region and open Highway 1 to traffic again. You never heard about it.

At least 517 Taliban and other terrorists were killed. You never heard about it.

It was called Operation Medusa. The Canadians ran it, losing 15. You never heard about it.

#2  Its not that bad JerseyMike. I'm sure there are some things the MSM and left consider worthy of other people dying for. Examples abound: Cambodians, South Vietmanese, and Chinese/Russian/Cuban/North Korean 'enemies of the state', Black muslims (of Dafur), etc...

Why there are literally millions and millions of people the MSM and left consider to have died for the 'greater good' [of the state]...

#1  That's alright, it would have been spun as a defeat and a massacre of perfectly good Canucks anyway.
Every single Taliban in Afghanistan could be killed and it wouldn't matter to the MSM, remember there are no good wars and there is nothing worth dying for.
