It's a cow. its big and bulky, it might have gotten away from them O_O. well not that it ran away but maybe whilst stuffing it with a bomb it started rolling away plus it says it was found in a culvert, which "is a device used to channel water. It may be used to allow water to pass underneath a road, railway, or embankment for example" I could see having the dead bombcow underneath a railway or something and then blowing it up when something comes by ;P lot of effort though. edit; LOL @ Jibba, didn't think cow jokes would start so soon | ||

According to the war logs, the ISI envoys are present when insurgent commanders hold war councils -- and even give specific orders to carry out murders. These include orders to try to assassinate Afghan President Hamid Karzai. For example, a threat report dated August 21, 2008 warned: "Colonel Mohammad Yusuf from the ISI had directed Taliban official Maulawi Izzatullah to see that Karzai was assassinated." http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,708314-5,00.html | ||

Fantastic that this happened. I can't wait to get more information out of this. And I can't wait for the stupid faces of our government officials who are still trying to pretend there isn't actually a war going on in Afghanistan but that it's all happy and and "peacekeeping" and "nation building". | ||

- Kill ratio for US vs. Enemy (for December) is about 3:1, the number of injured is a lot higher for US, the number of killed and wounded civilians trumps everything by a mile. - #1 cause of US Army losses - IEDs, #2 - direct fire, ambush. - #1 cause of Afghan losses - aircraft/heavy attacks by US, #2 - failed ambushes and return fire, #3 - suicide. - Some of the most interesting reports feature 'Operations', all of which for December are labeled 'Ineffective" inside the reports themselves. - Another interesting read is 'Cache Found/Cleared' category. For the most part recovered materials include: explosives and components, wire, batteries, Russian (majority) and Chinese rifles with ammunition and a surprisingly large quantity of RPGs, launchers and heavy stuff of different kind. - For the month of December: US ~50-75 killed (reading through December 20th), ~200 injured. One report from mid-December Caught my eye: A local man started running away from one of US patrols, - eventually he stopped and laid down @ the command of the soldiers. While they were walking toward him somebody opened some sort of gate and the man made a run for it for whatever reason. A soldier fired 4 shots, one of which hit the man (non-lethal injury). One of the other three bullets went through the window (or a weak wall) of one of the houses and killed a woman. The man later turned out to be an unarmed local farmer (so was the woman), the family of a killed woman was offered a financial compensation (amount undisclosed), incident was labeled an unfortunate accident. | ||

It's about time people are informed about what really goes on in Afghanistan. I hear a lot of officials and politicians are upset about the leak. The question is why. Aren't our governments constantly asking us whether we have anything to hide when they opt for video surveillance, control of the internet and shit? Well, let them tatse some of their own medicine and have the people control their actions. Let the so called "democracies" play by thewir own rules, I say, most importantly transparency. I remember a strategy paper of the U.S. Military which described in detail the best method to get European countires continued support for the war in Afghanistan. This paper said, the German public could be manipulated by focussing on womens rights in Afghanistan. That said, it seems the Governments try to manipulated the public to share a certain opinion and for that purpose control of the infromation available is crucial. No wonder they are pissed of when unfiltered information is leaked. An about the argument that leaking that infromation endagers the life of soldiers...you know what really endagers their lifes? Sending them to a war in the first place. but no one seems to have a problem with that. | ||

It seems obvious to me that such security risks are infinite in number, and that invading a country only creates more of them. It might make sense if it weren't for the fact that the majority of terrorist attacks by Al Qaeda against the United States happened outside the contintental US. | ||

My girlfriend is a former solider who served in the afghan and iraq wars. She immediately showed me an event in this damn thing. Then a few years later, someone will get the same files from iraq and we will no longer be a super power =(. Dang america we suck =(. you aren't a superpower.. the American state is a superpower. Has this fact ever done any good for you other than give you a boner every time you watch O'Reilly? All you're ever going to get from these adventures is the bill. Wakey! wakey! | ||
