Today the Taliban, some armed with rocket-propelled grenades and heavy machine guns, attacked the Spozhmai hotel in Kabul’s popular Qargha Lake recreation area.
Now there are reports that the Taliban in Afghanistan is being supplied by the Pakistani security forces.
Christian Science Monitor reported:
A recent spate of attacks on US military bases in Afghanistan points to a resilient Taliban with a steady supply of arms. It is a supply stream flowing from Pakistan – one that US troops, try as they might, are proving unable to interrupt.
Equally troubling for the Pentagon, analysts warn that these attacks serve as growing evidence that Pakistani security services (ISI) is stepping up its support of insurgent groups to jockey for position ahead of the scheduled 2014 departure of US combat troops from the country.
On Wednesday, two attacks in eastern Afghanistan killed three US troops and at least 25 Afghans, prompting the US Embassy to condemn the Taliban’s “murderous campaign.”
These attacks come on the heels of one of the most troubling insurgent offensives in some time, according to analysts. It occurred earlier this month, when a suicide-bomber in a car filled with explosives was able to breach perimeter security at a large US base near the eastern Afghanistan city of Khost.
The bomber detonated the explosives near the base dining hall at Camp Salerno, allowing other enemy fighters to stream into the base on foot – and open fire. A spokesman for the Taliban boasted that the insurgents had “suicide vests, rocket-propelled grenades, heavy machine guns, and hand grenades.” The attack injured dozens of troops.
The Taliban-linked Haqqani terror network in Pakistan have killed 500 US troops in Afghanistan.
The Taliban is stronger today than they were a year ago. Barack Obama has offered the Taliban peace talks and built them an office in Qatar.

I heard about these 3 service men who were killed and my heart dropped. I have a family member there and he is fine. But my heart goes out to our soldiers. This attack was like many, sneaky and I have no confidence in this operation when you hear what Obama has done to our military.
We haven’t seen a Military reduced like ours since the 1950′s. Leaks and weak leadership makes military families nervous. I can’t wait to he comes home.

Look, I am trying to lose this war as fast as possible. I would like to have it lost before the election. So, why are you blaming me?
Let me be clear, I have micromanaged this war and severely tightened the rules of engagement to the point of hand-cuffing the troops. I have diverted most of the drones to spy on American cities. I don’t have enough drones for Afghanistan. I don’t know what else to do.
I need to clear your TV screens of our troops in Afghanistan so you can enjoy My Face and My Reelection campaign! You need to see “0bama All The Time” on your wide-screen HD color TV. You need to concentrate on Me – The One! Just ask David Axelrod. He’ll agree.
My limousine is smoking and I have another $40,000 per plate fund raiser to attend. We are running late and I have not even put on my lipstick. I cannot answer anymore question. Good day.

where is the peace movement when you need them?
ilikai commented:
After 10 years and wasting the lives of our soldiers, nothing there has changed and will go back to the stone age as soon as we leave. Better to leave now and save more of our soldiers lives.
Justin Case commented:
Sick and tired of the ISI, we need an ‘accidental’ drone strike.

U.S. out of Afghanistan!
Then turn it to glass.
Ditto our loyal Pakistani “allies”.
