Moshtarak Operation was launched Saturday, Feb. 13 at 4 o'clock in the morning in Helmand province in the Western occupation forces backed by soldiers and police of the puppet regime Kabul. 15 000 men engaged, half Western (U.S., British, Canadians, Danes and Estonians) and half of Afghanistan.
"Mosthtarak" means "together" in Arabic and Dari, the Afghan variant of Persian. British Brigadier General James Cowan, commanding the 11 th Light Brigade, said during the briefing before the operation:
"I can not imagine a better name to describe this operation. Because we are together in this case: we planned together, we fight together we will get through together. With Afghan allies, soldiers with civilians, the government with its people. "
The operation aims to regain control of the capital of the province, Lashgar Gah, the heart of the Helmand River Valley, and its hinterland. Helmand is a stronghold of the Afghan resistance, which has escaped the control of the Kabul regime long ago. In the propaganda of the Allies, the goal is to "cleanse" the area "Taliban insurgents" to "restore the authority government "in Kabul and allow the" reconstruction ".
The attacking troops were initially met with little resistance, which seemed to surprise their command. It seems to have still not learned the lessons of the Vietnam War or that of Iraq. The resistance has in fact applied a basic principle of people's war "the enemy attacks, we retreat, the enemy is concentrated, we disperse.
Tomb of empires, the Afgahanistan will also help in the tactics Obama, McCrystal and Gordon Brown, "Afghanization" of the war, which will be a bitter failure. Equally bitter was that the "Vietnamization" of the war in Vietnam from 1968. It took 15 years for the U.S. occupiers to wipe a strategic defeat in Vietnam. It takes less than in Afghanistan.
