For such was the G-man's allure
That it opened the doors of l'amour
To J. Edgar Hoover!
And Dot, did he move 'er?
"I cannot deny it." No more.
But, over her shoulder... "Voyeur!"
[ToloNews] A fresh spate of violence kicked off in at least seventeen Afghan provinces on Tuesday, a day after the Taliban ...Arabic for students... announced they would resume military operations against the Afghan cops. The Afghan Ministry of Interior said there were 33 attacks by the Taliban and at least six non-combatants were killed in the past 24 hours.
The fighting between the two sides comes days after a weekslong Reduction in Violence (RIV) and a peace deal signed by the United States and the Taliban on Saturday. The peace deal outlined terms for the withdrawal of US and coalition forces from Afghanistan in exchange for a number of solid assurances by the Taliban, including that they cut ties to al-Qaeda and prevent Afghanistan from becoming a safe haven for terrorist groups. The deal, signed in Doha, coincided with a joint Afghan-US declaration in Kabul that mirrored the Doha deal in laying out plans for intra-Afghan talks and an eventual ceasefire.

Whew! So glad this doesn't concern us any more!
The Afghan "government" was always a joke. They're an easy price to pay to get out of there. The whole of Afghanistan isn't worth a single more American's life. Not one more.

Praise Allah Herb! It's not as if the plague of fundamentalist Muslims there tried to murder 50,000 human Americans on 9-11. Right?
On the other hand it was definitely the evil Christian West the inspired Muhammad's 610 AD call for global jihad. Right Herb?

Tuesday’s “heavy clash” killing five Afghan officers took place at a checkpoint at the Mes Aynak copper mine in Logar province, said Deedar Lawang, a spokesman for Logar’s provincial governor.
Hasib Stanekzai, head of Logar provincial council, told Reuters the policemen were soft targets during the early morning attack as they had no heavy weapons.
A senior US official said the attack was being investigated.
A spokeswoman for Afghanistan’s interior ministry said that in 24 hours, the Taliban carried out 33 attacks against Afghan forces in 16 provinces, killing six civilians. She did not say how many Afghan security force members had died.

I say here, my good man, I believe you may be breaking the rules. Quite uncivilized.
Thank you, Frank G. Fixed. I clicked on the headline to open the proper tweet, clicked on the drop down menu in the upper right corner of the tweet, which gave me Embed Tweet to click on, then clicked on the offer to Copy Code — which I then pasted into the post. Easy peasy, once one knows how! ;-)

Hezbollah seems to be filling gaps in western Aleppo due to SAA losses to drone strikes (which are at a huge attrition rate). I don’t have unit specifics yet.
