Brits Fled Afghan Town Claiming "Secret Deal With Taliban"
Publication time: Today at 09:48 Djokhar time
The London paper Times on Sunday reported a "secret deal with Taliban" with the British troops quietly pulling out of the Afghan town of Musa Qala in Helmand province in return for the Taliban doing the same.
The story looks absolutely fishy taking into account that it is not in Taliban interest that the Brits quit the town. The main problem for Taliban in Afghanistan is to find foreign targets. The country is large and the number of Western invaders per squre mile to be eliminated is rather low as compared to Iraq. In Afghanistan the invaders stay practically all the time at their heavily fortified military bases. Brits in a town outside a base is an excellent target for the Mujahideen.
So it is clear that the UK troops simply fled the town. And Taliban surely recaptured it.
In the past, it was always like that. The Taliban captures a town. The Western invaders come to recapture it but have to leave it in 2 or 3 days. Then the Taliban comes back and liberates the town from local puppets left by the invaders to protect it.
In these conditions, the Taliban need no deal with the UK troops, either open or "secret".
