Site of the former US Embassy, Saigon, now used as a spot for parking and recreation Wikipedia
President Obama’s public announcements and private actions contradict each other. One the one hand, we had the surge, on the other had there is a withdrawal date. One the one had the US is talking to the Taliban, on the other hand, Washington is pressuring Islamabad to continue the war on the same Afghans. One the one hand Washington calls the US an ally, asking for help in a safe exit, on the other hand, the US is bombing Pakistani cities. On the one hand the US is giving military aid to Pakistan, on the other hand, it has a 3000 strong “CIA Army” causing murder and mayhem in Pakistan
U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan Karl Eikenberry recently briefed the press about the new building that the US is constructing in Kabul.
The United States has announced it would spend $511 million to expand its embassy in Kabul.
Speaking at the construction site, Ambassador Karl Eikenberry said the work would enable the United States “to carry out its pledge to maintain into the future its very significant security, government, economic, and civil society programs.”
He said the project, which is to be completed by 2014, started earlier this year and currently employs about 500 Afghans.
If the US is beginning the withdrawal of its forces from Afghanistan, and the withdrawal is to be completed by 2014, the purpose of building the colossal fort in the heart of Kabul is a clear indication of American goals in the region.
The US had similar plans for Vietnam, but the huge Embassy complex in Saigon was run over by events and Saigon became Ho chi Minh City.
Analysts believe that once the withdrawal begins, the US will be unable to support this white elephant.
One wonders about he scenes? Will it be just like Saigon, or slightly different. The USSR did not allow any pictures of its withdrawal–will the US be able to hide them.
TEHRAN (FNA)- An Afghan academic figure dismissed the justifications cited by the US for expanding and enlarging its embassy in Kabul, and disclosed that Washington is setting up the largest espionage center in the occupied country.
“The new US embassy complex in Kabul would become CIA’s (the Central Intelligence Agency) major base in Afghanistan and Central Asia,” Deputy Head of Afghanistan’s Science Academy Mohammad Sharif Pakrai told FNA in Kabul on Saturday.
He pointed out that the United States’ claims that it intends to spend $550mln to expand the Kabul embassy for diplomatic objectives is a sheer lie since no common sense can accept that such a large budget is spent on such “an unnecessary move”.
“Given the current economic, security, military and cultural conditions of Afghanistan, the expansion of the US embassy has no diplomatic justification,” Pakrai stressed.
“The move is a complementary part of the six US military bases that are under construction and the center is due to command and control espionage and cultural activities in the region in future,” the Afghan figure cautioned.
The comments by Pakrai came after the United States announced on Wednesday that is bolstering its presence in Afghanistan with a 500 million dollar expansion of its Kabul embassy and the construction of two consulates.
Washington’s Kabul embassy is already its biggest in the world, with about 1,100 employees, projected to rise to 1,200 by the end of the year, officials said.
The United States and NATO have 150,000 troops in Afghanistan, following a military surge ordered by President Barack Obama.
The embassy expansion contract was worth 511 million dollars and had been awarded under US law to an American company, Caddell Construction Inc., ambassador Karl Eikenberry said.
Another two contracts, worth 20 million dollars each, have been awarded for the construction of consulates in Herat, the main city in Western Afghanistan, and Mazar-I-Sharif in the North, he said.
No one need worry about the embassy construction. When someone is dying of heart failure he can go into needless activity which kills him sooner. The Great Recession in USA and its double digit prospect is soon going to open to the American rear for a goodly military kick from the Taliban.
General Giap did it comprehensively in Vietnam; Now Mullah Umer is doing it well enough!! UNEMPLOYMENT, CONSUMER CONFIDENCE AND FORECLOSURES IN USA WILL SOON BRING AMERICAN HUBRIS TO A FALL.!!
“public announcements and private actions contradict each other”.
That is why the Final Messenger (pbuh) called him a LIAR (Ad-Dajjal).
But he has no choice, if he does not obey the shadowy Govt, he would be sacked.
“It is essential that we strike and crush Pakistanis, enemies of Jews and Zionism, by all disguised and secret plans,”
David Ben Gurion, first prime minister of Zionist entity.
There is no withdrawal from Iraq or Afghanistan or Pakistan that is why they are building fortresses in Muslim Countries to kill and plunder.
Unfortunately for them, Allah has different plan.
They (the disbelievers, the Jews and the Christians) want to extinguish Allâh’s Light (with which Muhammad SAW has been sent – Islâmic Monotheism) with their mouths, but Allâh will not allow except that His Light should be perfected even though the Kâfirûn (disbelievers) hate (it). 9:32
Islam Future:
IN order for a culture to maintain itself for more than 25 years, there must be required fertility rate of 2.11 children per family, with any thing less, the culture will decline. Historically no culture has reversed a 1.9 fertility rate. Rate of 1.3 is impossible to reverse. Because it will take 80 to 100 years to correct itself and there is no economic model that can sustain the culture during that long time.
In another words if 2 sets of couple have each one child. There are half as many children as parents. If those children have one child, then there are 1/4 as many grand children as grand parents.
If only a million babies are born in 2006. It is hard to have 2 million adults enter the work force in 2026. As the population shrinks, so does the culture.
As of 2007, the fertility rate of France was 1.8, England 1.6, Greece 1.3, Germany 1.3, Italy 1.2, Spain 1.1. Across the entire European Union of 31 Countries, the fertility rate was mere 1.38. Historical research tells us these numbers are impossible to reverse. In a matter of years Europe as we know it, will cease to exist. Yet the population of Europe is not declining………..Why?…….Immigration!…….Islamic Immigration.
Of all the population growth in Europe since 1990, 90 % has been Islamic Immigration. France 1.8 children per family. Muslims 8.1 per family. In southern France, traditionally the most populated Church region of the World, there are more Mosques than Churches. 30 % children 20 and younger are Islamic. In large cities such as Niece, Marseilles’ and Paris, that number has grown to 45%. By 2027, one in 5 Frenchmen would be Muslim. In just 39 years France would be an Islamic Republic.
In the last 30 years the Muslim population of G. Britain rose from 82,000 to 2.5 Million. A 30 fold increase. There are more than 1000 Mosques, many are former Churches.
In the Netherlands 50% of all new born are Muslims and, in only 15 years, half of the Netherlands would be Muslims.
In Russia there are over 23 Million Muslims that is 1 out of 5 Russian. 40 % of Entire Russian Army would be Islamic in just few short years.
Currently in Belgium 25% of population and 50% of all new born are Muslim. The Belgium Govt has stated that 1/3 of all the children will be born to Muslims by 2025, just 15 years away.
German Govt was first to talk about these dynamic changes public-ally, and released a statement saying, “the Fall in the German population can no longer be stopped..The downward Spiral is NO Longer Reversible..It will be Muslim State by the year 2050”.
Eat your heart out O The Rebellious and The Misguided. Time is not on your side.
O The Rebellious to annihilate Islam you have throw nukes in all direction which will destroy you also. Are you willing for that bluff (Samson Option).
Assalamu-Elekum
Some of the quotes about Ben Gurion have not stood the test of scrutiny. I would also request you not to make sweeping statements against all Jews, all Hindus etc. Romilla Thaper, and Arundhati Roy are excellent human beings and good people. Uri Avnery Rabbi Lerner, and Jon Stewart are the finest human beings that one can meet. We cannot discourage good folks anywhere by lumping them in a box.
