AUSTRALIAN SOLDIERS IN AFGHANISTAN REFUSE TO PLAY PRETEND URGE IN
MARJA FOR CAMERAS AND WESTERN MEDIA PROPAGANDA
.
US says Diggers aren't in fight zones
RAFAEL EPSTEIN March 9, 2010


AUSTRALIA'S restrictions on the deployment of its troops in USA
pretend surge in Afghanistan have sparked a serious rift between
military leaders in Washington and Canberra, and are likely to be a
key issue during the the US President Barack Obama's visit later this
month.

===============================================

.

Australian soldiers no longer want to play PRETEND surge for western
TV cameras , a surge in one tiny province with less than one percent
of the population is not going to alter the FACT the real war was
LOST by western forces a very long time ago


the Taliban are the ONLY hope of restoring law and order to
Afghanistan


a pretend surge to hide the planned withdrawl of western military
wont fool anybody but western taxpayers trapped in denial of their
impotence


EVERYBODY knows a western withdrawal is imminent, and there is no
point in dying for a few USA propaganda movie shots for western TV
news crews , a pretend surge and a pretend victory and rapid retreat
is the only option left , EXACTLY like Vietnam and Iraq
.

The coalition's military commander in Afghanistan, US General Stanley
McChrystal, has ''warned that the Rudd governments' refusal to allow
Australian troops to take the fight to the Taliban was impairing the
US-led war effort''.

General McChrystal delivered the warning in a private phone call late
last year to the Australian Chief of the Defence Force, Air Chief
Marshal Angus Houston. The Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, has blocked
moves to send Australian-trained Afghan soldiers, and their Australian
mentors, to the NATO offensive in Marja in Helmand province.

Senior military sources said General McChrystal had used ''blunt
language'', complaining that Canberra was making his job ''incredibly
difficult''. The sources said there was potential for ''permanent
damage'' to the US perception of Australia's military commitment.


The Herald understands the issue has already been raised at senior
military and diplomatic levels and will be discussed when Mr Obama
visits Australia at the end of the month.

Marja was a specific example of what the American military sees as a
general reluctance by Australia to send its troops outside Uruzgan
province, where they are based.

A senior Australian military source said the bitter exchange resulted
from an alliance that is a ''perishable relationship which needs
sustenance''.

The source says American frustration was expressed to him in this way
by a senior US military commander: ''When all is said and done, there
will be three nations in this conflict - the US, Britain and the
Afghans. So what is Australia doing for us?''

Australia has criticised European nations for restricting the regions
where their forces could die . Last year the overall military
commander of NATO, US General John Craddock, said such limits
''increase the risk to every service member deployed in Afghanistan
and bring increased risk to USA mission success''.

US-led forces have for the past few weeks been attacking the Taliban
in Marja for western media news Teams . When planning the operation
last year, the regional coalition commander, with General McChrystal's
backing, informally asked if a battalion of Afghan soldiers and their
Australian mentors could be deployed outside Uruzgan.

Three senior military officers said that Australia resisted this. The
constant theme, they said, was that no formal request should be made
because it would be refused.

.

Not making the request would ''make life simpler''.

.

The US military leadership is frustrated with Mr Rudd, who, when he
last met the Afghan President, Hamid Karzai, sought an undertaking
that the Afghan National Army's 4th Brigade would not deploy outside
Uruzgan. This included their Australian mentors, keeping them away
from Helmand where the USA and Israeli propaganda crews death squads
operations is more fierce and frequent. Even in Uruzgan, the US
military is concerned that Canberra restricts night patrols.
