Afghanistan: 'We have won the war, America has lost', say Taliban

By Secunder Kermani and Mahfouz Zubaide
BBC News, Balkh district

Published

14 hours ago

Driving to Taliban-controlled territory doesn't take long. Around 30 minutes from the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif, passing large craters left by roadside bombs, we meet our host: Haji Hekmat, the Taliban's shadow mayor in Balkh district.

Perfumed and in a black turban, he's a veteran member of the group, having first joined the militants in the 1990s when they ruled over the majority of the country.

The Taliban have arranged a display of force for us. Lined up on either side of the street are heavily armed men, one carrying a rocket propelled grenade launcher, another an M4 assault rifle captured from US forces. Balkh was once one of the more stable parts of the country; now it's become one of the most violent.

Baryalai, a local military commander with a ferocious reputation, points down the road, "the government forces are just there by the main market, but they can't leave their bases. This territory belongs to the mujahideen".

It's a similar picture across much of Afghanistan: the government controls the cities and bigger towns, but the Taliban are encircling them, with a presence in large parts of the countryside.

Yeah, "whatever".

Let's see what happens if the Taliban acts up again when America has a president.

Joe Biden plans to hand Afghanistan over to Taliban on September 11, 2021.

You know, like when JFK handed Hawaii over to Japan on December 7, 1961.

Most people are not upset.  Go for it.  Kill each other, without Americans involved.  We don't care anymore.

We lost every time blood was spilt on behalf of the Afghanis.  The mission was to kill the ringleaders of 9/11.  It never should have expanded beyond that.  Afghanistan will never be a coherent, let alone civilized nation.

The taliban/moslems are fighting a religious war and religious fanatics will never stop fighting until all of them or all of their perceived enemies are dead.

Just one more reason to be thankful the biden/harris/OBAMA misadministration is back in charge to open our border to moslem terrorists and other invaders.  9999hair out0000

As much as it pains me to say it...that Taliban POS is right.

We had so many opportunities to roll those assholes up and spent the majority of the time fighting with one ar tied behind our backs thanks to politically motivated rules of engagement.

They did win, because our leaders are weak when it comes to their mindset of war.  Fact is, not only the Taliban is well entrenched in Afghanistan, so is al Qaeda and ISIS.

Now what will come of this nation?  Anyone that does not comprehend the future there, should have no right to vote.  On a scale of 100, if it was at 20 while Osama was there, it will be at 100 in the future.  The most important thing to decide from a planning perspective is what to do next when they attack other areas of the world.   9/11 events will happen again, perhaps worse with the use of bio weapons.
