Who Set Up NATO and the Pentagon?

Stingers, as we know, are supplied to the mujahideen by the Americans. Nevertheless, in recent years the Pentagon has never publicly acknowledged that the Taliban owns such weapons. Moreover, in the summer of 2007, the Speaker of the NATO has publicly denied the words of witnesses saying that an American helicopter was put down by a similar rocket (the crash has killed five Americans, a British and a Canadian). The documents released by WikiLeaks clearly state that the military knew that the Taliban had MANPADS possibly supplied from the Pakistani arsenal.

The Ambassador of Pakistan to the U.S. Hussain Haqqani has firmly denied information about his country's intelligence’s cooperation with the Taliban. He called the information published by WikiLeaks one-sided comments and rumors which frequently appear on both sides of the Pakistan-Afghan border and are often false.

At the same time, The New York Times emphasized that the authorities did not question the authenticity of the information released by journalists. The official statement of the White House acknowledged that the chaos depicted by the released secret documents took place prior to the start of Barack Obama’s new Afghan strategy.

The statement stressed that the documents relate to the period between 2004 and 2009.

It is unlikely that the situation in the Afghan war has become favorable for the international coalition since the beginning of this year. The White House does not want to admit that the fights in Afghanistan repeat the scenario of the dirty war in Vietnam. Obama's new strategy for Afghanistan only delays the agony of that futile operation that cannot be saved by UN mandates, the infusion of billions of dollars, or an increase in troops.

America and its allies are tired of war, which is not the case with the Taliban that sees the war as the meaning of life.
