“When you’re wounded and left on Afghanistan’s plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An’ go to your Gawd like a soldier.” Rudyard Kipling
“The Battle of Maiwand was one of the most serious defeats ever sustained by the British Army in ‘India’ (Afghanistan)“
The maps show Lord Curzon’s ”On to the Oxus” (Amu Darya) Policy. Facing humiliating defeat the 2nd map shows the “Back to the Indus” policy. The painting in the middle shows the lone British survivor making his way back across the Khyber pass
Unfortuantely for the young Britons, the lessons learned from 1880 Afghanistan and 1920 Iraq are lost to the Oxbridge Eaton-Harrow elite and the British schools for commoners.
On 3rd July 1880 a British/Indian column of some 2700 fighting troops under Brigadier George Burrows set out from Kandahar. They were supported by 6000 British trained Afghans to defeat Ayub Khan the governor of Herat.
When the battle began in 120 degree heat, most of the 6000 British trained Afghans moved over to Ayub Khan with their guns. The battle took a heavy toll on Britain.
“All over the wide expanse of desert are to be seen men in twos and threes retreating. Camels have thrown their loads; sick men, almost naked, are astride donkeys, mules and camels; the bearers have thrown down their doolies (covered litters) and left the wounded to their fate. The guns and carriages are crowded with the helpless wounded suffering the tortures of the damned; horses are limping along with ugly wounds and men are pressing eagerly to the rear in the hope of finding water. Hordes of irregular horsemen are to be seen amongst our baggage animals, relentlessly cutting our men down and looting. A few alone remain with Brigadier Burrows to try and turn the rout into an orderly retreat.” Captain Slade
Only 161 wounded British soldiers reached the British base in Kandahar

Pathans still name their children Ayub Kan to commemrate the vitory at Herat
These lessons of history are lost of modern British officers, who still imagine that they have an empire and can day take revenge for the defeat of Maiwand.
The story of Afghanistan and colonialism begins a long time ago. British tried to take up White Man’s burden in Afghanistan. It suffered badly in Kabul and could not hold it. NATO Lessons: 1880 UK defeat at Maiwand-Afghanistan. Today ISAF is making the same mistakes as the British did a century again. Is NATO committing suicide in Afghanistan? There is a powerplay going on. …the CIA assassination. The US has considered every possibily. However the most obvious one escapes the $80 Billion think tank industry in the USA. Saving the Pashtuns of Afghania from Afghanistan. Eradicating the Pashtun plight and ending occupation.

WHITE MAN SPEAKS WITH FORKED TONGUE: White man speaks with forked tongue! How may more sabateur training camps does Britian and NATO have to destabilize Pakistan? Another Peace deal between Pakistanis! How long before another drone sabotages peace?
Who is playing a double game in Afghanistan and Pakistan? Pakistani institutions are constantly blamed by the Neocons in the UK and US for playing a double game….fighting Al-Quaida while supporting the Taliabn in Afghanistan. Mr. Karzai and the Northern Alliance blame Paksitan from the highest peaks of the Hindu Kush and shouts it to anyone who has a microphone.
However a more sinister scheme is emerging out of the Helmund training camp fiasco.
It was recently publicized that the British were training 1000 Taliban in Afghanistan. Why were the British training the Taliban? Who were they being used against?
Britain has been caught training the “anti-Taliban” Taliban for sabotage purposes. They even made one of these so called “Anti-Taliban” as a Governor. Amazingly the multiple satellites and drones monitoring every inch of the Pakistani-Afghan border could not identify the camps in Helmund. How long before other such sabotage camps are discovered? How many more are there?
Ostensibly even Mr. Karzai didn’t know about the British traing the Taliban in Helmund. Some claim that the public spat between Mr. Karzai and the British is a way to cover up the training program which was discovered by the ISI.
Captured elements in the Red Mosque and in Swat and Waziristan and Rawalpindi pointed the Pakistani authorities to the British forces training the Taliban. The ISI discovered the British moves and informed Mr. Karzai. Mr. Karzai was furious. He expelled British officers and did not allow the new UN representative to come to Afghanistan.
In the post Benazir assassination era, the army annhilated the “Tehrik e Taliban Pakistan” in Swat. First Baitul Mehsud offered a cease fire, which was esstentially spurned by the army. We are sure, as soon as the term “peace deal” was heard by the powers to be, the pressure must have started mounting on Islamabad to ditch the deal.
SABOTAGING THE PEACE DEALS: A peace deal has been signed. After a horrible year, we have had 4 days of a relative “peace”. How long before a drone sabotages it?
Every time there is a peace deal. A drone bombs a village and unknown sabteurs inflame the situation by destroying the cease fire. A pinch of powder on smoldering coals is all that it takes.
A wedge has been driven between the Mulla Umar led Afghan “Taliban” and the “Tehrik e Taliban Pakistan” led by Baitul Mehsud. The Afghan Taliban want to concetrate on fighting occupation forces in Afghanistan. The “Tehrik e Taliban Pakistan” wanted to challenge the Pakistan army and the Pakistan state. Foreign infiltration into the “Tehrik e Taliban Pakistan” was discovered.
The silence from the Pakistani machinery is deafening!

When you’re wounded and left on Afghanistan’s plains,
And the women come to cut out what remains,
Just roll to your rifle, and blow out your brains.
And go to your God like a soldier. Rudyard Kipling author of "White Man's Burden"

Force is all-conquering, but its victories are short-lived. ~Abraham Lincoln In 1821
