NOVANEWS By Khalil Nouri STAFF WRITER / EDITOR   “Khalilzad: A Satan whispering in the Hearts of Men”, was titled in an email sent to many recipients by two Piled higher and Deeper (PhDs) expressing their views about Mr. Zal Khalilzad who apparently was in his 2014 preliminary presidential campaign mission lobbying to secure some tribal elders’ allegiance in Kabul recently. The PhDs, Messrs.’ Daud Mirakai and Rahmat Rabi Zirakyar are known to be fierce supporters of the One-Eyed Mullah Omarwho’s in line for his second term as the “Emir al-Mu’minin” (Commander of the faithful) –title given by his ally Osama Bin Laden— of Afghanistan after US-NATO troops to withdraw in 2014. We in NWSC, have to fully concur with Mr. Mirakai and Zirakyar (against our common sense rejection of their Tali...

NOVANEWS AFGHAN POLICY OR KILL TEAM ? These days, when I watch state-run Afghan TV, which is funded by American money, I am surprised by how openly Afghan experts criticize US military tactics in Afghanistan. This is new. By Hanan Habibzai Kapisa district police chief Abdul Hamid Erkin told AFP: “Two nights ago foreign special forces carried out a raid on a house in Geyawa village in Nejrab district.” The next morning their plane carried out an airstrike on a house in the village as a result of which seven children and one adult were martyred.” He said commanders of French troops who operate in the area “claimed that the target was a group of Taliban facilitators, but we checked the area and there were no Taliban.” In fact the people in the area have very strong anti-Taliban feelings. We...

NOVANEWS “National Veterans Hotline gets hundreds of calls about the pissed off Marines”    … by  Ken Smith   As many of you already know, I volunteer at the “National Veterans Hotline” a few nights per month.  The hotline website can be found at www.Veterans911.com     Last night, I was on duty for close to four hours and during that time I talked to over twenty callers.  90% of the callers had something to say about the story of Marines pissing on the dead Taliban.  Here are some of the comments I heard and then some of the emails I recieved since the incident of Marines pissing on Taliban.   Pissed off Marines Let me begin with some of the emails.  Here is one from a Navy corpsman, combat wounded in Vietnam named Bill. O.K. it was pretty dumb for the Marines to demonstrate th...

NOVANEWS By Khalil Nouri STAFF WRITER/EDITOR Taliban Fighters   Taliban and “peace mission” — these words do not fit together in the minds of Afghans who know the Taliban’s history. But they are the words that we have seen in recent publications, stating that the Taliban intend to open a “peace mission” office in Qatar. The idea is that foreign diplomats can stop by, share a cup of tea, eat some munchies, and talk about ending the insurgency in Afghanistan. Ideally, the talks and negotiations would thrust forward until the parties accept the terms and conditions for a cordial settlement amongst themselves. However, because the existing political climate in Kabul is so extremely convoluted, fragile and oddly murky with lingering recollections of the country’s history of post-Soviet w...

NOVANEWS Marine Traditions Run Strong and Deep   By Gordon Duff, Senior Editor   We have receiving a youtube video of people dressed as Marines, the new version, tons of expensive protective gear, urinating on enemy dead.  As one who did this work under unimaginably worse circumstances, starving, no body armour and outnumbered, against an enemy our new boys might find a bit daunting, I will give the talk that every real Marine gives young Marines.   Do note that the Marines you read about from the “old Corps” died for $2.50 per day.  We died by the tens of thousands.   YouTube - Veterans Today - If you want to do something, go steal the CO’s polished Humvee or piss on the leather seats of the commanding general’s helicopter.  Hell, use your radios for target practice, th...

NOVANEWS http://www.deliberation.info by Jonathon Blakeley WARNING – VERY OFFENSIVE. In this disgusting video we see how low the US marines have gone. I am pretty sure this video will be banned and taken down. I have copied it downloaded it should that happen. Credit to Deek Jackson for scooping this. BTW you can be pretty sure that this just the tip of the iceberg.

NOVANEWS First the Army Lies to the President Followed by the Mitt Romney Knife in the Back      … by  Gordon Duff,  Senior Editor   American troops in Afghanistan are running out of fuel and food as Christmas approaches.  The war rages on as it has for a decade and America is losing, nothing new there.  American supplies are being blockaded in Pakistan because US drones killed 24 Pakistani soldiers.  Compounding the problem now, we have learned that the version of events Pakistan gave in the first place, called “liars” by our press and military, was 100% correct. The liars were the Americans on the scene whose “Afghan allies,” as usual, ended up totally infiltrated by Taliban. After 10 years, the new “national army” are all either working for the drug lords of the minority nort...

NOVANEWS (Ahlul Bayt News Agency) – NATO officials claimed that the Saturday raid in the Gardez district of Paktia Province had targeted a leader of an insurgent group, but the provincial governor’s office said it was an ‘arbitrary operation’ launched on the house of the Paktia anti-drugs chief. “A national security council meeting held in the presidential palace on Sunday condemned the international forces night raid on the house of the Paktia counternarcotics chief, in which a woman was killed and four others wounded,” read a statement released by Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s office. The attack came despite Karzai’s repeated calls on foreign forces to halt such operations. He has publicly criticized the US-led night raids over concerns that they endanger and harass local communities...

NOVANEWS New York Times The senior American commander in Afghanistan suggested Tuesday that American forces could remain in the country beyond 2014 despite previous signals from President Obama that the bulk of troops would be withdrawn by then. The commander’s remarks amounted to the most emphatic signal to date that the United States military intended to secure a presence here, possibly for years. In an interview with The New York Times, the commander, Gen. John R. Allen, avoided talking about troop levels as America begins to wind down its operations in the war on the Taliban insurgency, now 10 years old. But he said negotiations with the government of President Hamid Karzai on a strategic partnership agreement would “almost certainly” include “a discussion with Afghanistan of what a ...
