I really have a problem with the tacit mobilization of neocon terms such as “global Jihadists” in this report. . Do the Palestinians living inside Israel occupied Palestinian land need internet evidence showing Israel war crimes against them to know their own lived experiences with daily humiliation and oppression in the hands of Israeli military and state? I think not.. However, I do agree that a widely available electronic evidence showing U.S troops taking pleasure at destroying homes and the lives of local Afghanis looks bad for the U.S public image. It is , however, pertinent to stress that this not a driver of either Afghan resistant to U.S occupation or a driver of some imaginary and most certainly not proven so-called “global Jihadists” recruitment. We must not forget that this sickly practice in which soldiers deliberately record evidence of their cruel crimes against defenseless civilian population was first put into practice during WWII. One can fine endless You Tube clips of German soldiers recording their crimes of killing Soviet POWS, or innocent civilians. Yes, these heinous crimes inflamed hatred toward to occupying fascist armies in the Soviet Union but it was not the real reason why Germany lost WWII campaign to conquer and occupy the Soviet Union. There is no crime more heinous than what the United States did to captive Iraqi prisoners in the infamous prison Abu Ghraib. Yet, there is no evidence that this heinous event has produced new “jihadists” recruits. The U.S will be defeated in Afghanistan because it came to conquer and dominate the people of this country to not liberate them. This is the basic determining factor in the contest for Afghanistan. Thus, the implied assertion that if the American soldiers stay quite about their r war crimes in Afghanistan, the U.S/.NATO mission in Afghanistan would succeed is not credible. The U.S has been losing the war for Afghanistan for the last 10 years and this will not change.

I am India's expert in strategic defence and the father of India's strategic program, including the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program. The U.S. invasion of Afghanistan means the coast-to-coast destruction of the U.S. by India; see my blog titled 'Nuclear Supremacy For India Over U.S.' which can be found by a Yahoo search with the title. Russia and the U.S. are allies.
