Taliban 20091024Xinhua News Agency, October 9 from Washington, a source said, “The New York Times” site 9, citing a recent U.S. intelligence assessment reported that, according to a rough estimate, the Taliban-led rebel forces in Afghanistan had increased from about 7,000 people in 2006 to the present about 2.5 million people, has almost quadrupled.

Reported that the increase in the numbers at the same time, the Taliban are becoming increasingly sophisticated tactics, operational flexibility, it is difficult to deal with.

Since 2001, “9.11″ incident triggered the war on terror in Afghanistan since the U.S. military and its coalition Zeng Yi-conquering record, winning in this small landlocked country poor and backward, the Taliban and al-Qaida falling apart. For a time, with regard to the war on terror in Afghanistan, the U.S. military victory is full of praise, no one has to break ranks, remaining in hiding looked down on Taliban militants. However, eight years have passed, the U.S. military and its allied forces such as are Sangjiazhiquan been beaten and dispersed remnant Diukuixiejia, end up constantly insisted Obama surge, in order for coalition forces in Afghanistan to maintain immediate reversals.

8-year war on terror, why come to such results?

U.S. troops led by the nose by the Taliban Information

8 years ago, the U.S. military to overcome the complex topography of Afghanistan battlefield conditions, as well as the Taliban guerrilla activities hidden, haunted no trace of the characteristics of continuously improve the operational efficiency of the war on terror. U.S. troops to use a “Joint Surveillance and Target Attack Radar System,” “joint tactical air-Information Station”, “MLQ-40 Prophet land-based signals intelligence system” to refine search militants across Afghanistan to meet the bombers and in real-time precision strike UAV can be described as more and more sophisticated weapons, but the strategic situation has become worse and worse.

The Taliban is not so much because of the scale, there is no front guerrilla warfare, the troops formed in a very backward point where equipment is basically lone warriors. But the Taliban is a weapon based on such a low-end establishment, creating a node for the U.S. flock back to the offensive, attacking tactics after the decentralized and flexible, so that the information the U.S. military command system struggling to cope with, but at the edge of the network operations node, then the bees caught in the siege of the Taliban among the results of the U.S. military in Afghanistan, the pilot of Network Centric Warfare hand, the piecemeal by the Taliban collapsed.

Especially in the past year, the Taliban has changed in the past fear and avoidance of the state of the U.S. information technology and dare to use the U.S. military’s information technology, holding U.S. military nose. Them to the 20th century, 80 years to deal with the practice of the former Soviet Union combined to the modern battlefield, the U.S. military deliberately to expose to the detection system, deliberately attracted the U.S. military patrol, ambushed the U.S. military.

The Taliban also made full use of their own superiority to do a modern version of the countryside surrounding the cities, especially in the U.S. military logistical supply lines to seize the tactical attack the weak points, especially in the capital, Kabul, the main highways in the southern region of the continuous blow to the U.S. into a few soldiers under the military available, many soldiers are worried that the contradiction between supply was cut off.

Taliban leader Hakim Mulama Hasu DePakistan army action to wipe out the Taliban suffered a major setback on the 20th: a home overlooking the Taliban leaders went so far as the strategic lost it. At the same time, two suicide bombers in the Pakistani capital of the Islamic University campus blew himself up, killing at least six people were killed and 20 injured. The Pakistani government believes that the Department of the bombing the Taliban’s “crazy act of revenge.”

Is widely believed that this wipe out the Taliban in fighting against the Pakistani government can eradicate extremism severe test. Over the past two days, government forces captured a key Taliban leader first Mehsud’s birthplace. However, the short-lived, Taliban militants launched a frenzied counterattack quickly in a while in the army at 20, drive out. In this case, the army deployed aircraft bombed the Taliban positions.

According to reports, Mehsud was responsible for training the suicide bombers within the Taliban senior commander. His hometown is the only way to go to the heart of the Taliban, so both sides are desperate scramble. 20, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said he was Pakistan’s military moves against the Taliban was “encouraged.” Is responsible for directing the work of the local U.S. combat commander of Central Command, General彼得罗乌斯has just concluded his visit to Pakistan.

Pakistani military spokesman said that although the Taliban did not compete with the full strength of government forces, but their mountain laowo threat facing the government forces, their resistance rating is extraordinary. Overall, Pakistan’s government forces in dealing with the Taliban have a number of advantages (28,000 pairs of 11000), but the local rugged mountains and the Taliban over the years painstakingly built bunkers and other fortifications seriously affected Pakistan Army’s advance speed.

Pakistani military said, and now the Taliban-controlled areas have been surrounded by Pakistani army is soldiers in three columns, from the north, west and south-south-easterly direction at the same time work towards the Taliban heartland. Since 2004, the Pakistani military had on several occasions to the South Waziristan region, the Taliban attacked, but they suffered heavy casualties in the post-let the matter rest. However, this time against the Taliban’s military operations by the Government, the military and the general public’s strong support, accounting and advantages, the Taliban has a geographical advantage.

Two months later, due to the forthcoming winter in Pakistan, the snow close off the mountains will make anti-insurgent operations simply can not start, therefore, once the Taliban successfully drawn into the anti-insurgent operations this winter, will sit well placed two significant advantages. This is also Pakistan’s military commitment to quick-fix’s main concern. In addition, if prolonged war, the Taliban continue to send people to launch suicide attacks, could seriously affect the political stability in Pakistan.

According to the “Washington Post” quoted unnamed Western anti-terrorism official as saying, even though the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency over the past year, frequently deployed unmanned aircraft to Pakistan and Afghan border where the Taliban and the “base” to launch fierce leader missile attack, but there are still a large number of developed countries from the West “volunteers” have come from afar rushed to a local occupation, and received military training and returned to the motherland “latent.” Among them, in Germany with the Taliban and the “base” associated organizations, issued a video warning that if the Government does not withdraw its troops from Afghanistan will face a terrorist attack. In this case, the German security authorities have been on high alert. Germany is currently stationed in Afghanistan, about 3,800 officers and men, following the United States and Britain, the largest number of troops to Afghanistan, NATO countries. Dutch intelligence services in the recent report that “more and more indications” show that more Europeans to participate in the junction of the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan training camps. Pakistan had arrested 12 on their way to the North Waziristan region, foreigners, including four Swedes. Three Belgians and a Frenchman in training camp, after their return from the arrested. They are in Pakistan or Afghanistan and had received training in blasting. At the same time, there may be three Belgians and many French people hiding in Pakistan or Afghanistan.
