Islamic Sources Claim First U.S.  Ground Attack on Kandahar Repulsed
Careful Reading of U.S. TV Stories Confirms U.S. is Hiding Losses 
CNN shows bodies of dead children killed in air raid: Then justifies 
killing
New Trend has received a number of reports about the defeat of 
the 
first U.S. ground attack on Kandahar. Our reporters watch U.S. TV with 
great 
care and have come to the conclusion that the U.S. is hiding its first 
defeat.
Let's look at the U.S. TV stories from MSNBC, CNN and FOX NEWS:
1.From November 25 to December 2, U.S marines were shown as having 
landed 
south of Kandahar. Day after day, they were shown preparing, digging 
in, 
bringing supplies. It was a dead "no news" story to cover the real 
story not 
shown.
2.The U.S. TV (all three) stated daily that Kandahar was about to fall 
and 
that it would DEFINITELY FALL by December 2.
3. U.S. government sources repeated again and again that HEAVY fighting 
was 
going on both north and south of Kandahar. The impression was given 
that 
these were "Pashtun anti-Taliban forces" attacking Kandahar but no 
details 
were given.
4. On December 2, the U.S. sources completely changed their story and 
stated 
that it would take ANOTHER WEEK to take Kandahar airport, let alone all 
of 
Kandahar.
5. Rumsfeld told Meet the Press that the Taliban are "fanatical 
fighters" and 
it would be better for the U.S. not to have to go into Kandahar to 
fight.
6. The U.S. air force has put in a daily stint of non-stop bombing of 
Kandahar with no signs of a Taliban surrender. 100 planes pulverize the 
area 
daily.
(Observers say that U.S. troops under air attack without air defenses 
would 
not LAST EVEN ONE DAY.)
-------------------------------------------------
Now Qoqaz (which is a Chechen site) reports that a U.S. ground attack 
was 
attempted from the NORTH of Kandahar in which troops were brought in by 
helicopter. The attackers were ambushed by the Taliban and lost two 
Apache 
helicopters and more than 150 troops.
Another Islamic  source refers to a paratroop drop by the U.S. in the 
Helmand 
area which was wiped out by the Taliban and resulted in the death of 32 
of 
U.S.'s best troops.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. claims it has lost only one man and that was the CIA operative 
in 
Konduz. Observers say that this is part of the psychological warfare 
meant to 
give an air of invincibility to the U.S. armada.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMPARISON TO THE SOVIET INVASION VERY HELPFUL:
When the Soviets entered Afghanistan, they behaved very much like the 
U.S. 
They claimed they had come to build Afghanistan and to provide 
hospitals, 
schools and roads.
They used to call their brutal occupation army, "a limited contingent 
sent to 
help the fraternal Afghan people develop their country."
For several YEARS, the Soviets refused to tell their people that they 
were 
killing thousands of Afghans and also tried to conceal their own 
losses. In 
fact NO SOVIET losses were acknowledged for several years. Only through 
the 
word of mouth reports from the mothers of dead Soviet troops, the 
Russian 
people learned that little Afghanistan had become the graveyard of a 
superpower.

CNN SHOWS BODIES OF AFGHAN CHILDREN KILLED IN U.S. AIR STRIKES AND THEN 
CALLS 
IN A RETIRED GENERAL TO JUSTIFY THE MASS MURDER:
Brent Sadler deserves credit for his reporting for CNN from the 
villages near Jalalabad. The footage showed lined up corpses of 
children 
killed by the glorious U.S. air force. Another clip showed bodies being 
dug 
up from the dust of bombed MUD HUTS. (December 2, 10 pm)
But then, just in case the American public questions this campaign 
against 
"terrorism", CNN brought in a dirty old man, a retired general sitting 
in 
Chicago, who claimed that Al-Qaeda must have brought in the civilians 
into 
their caves, so that when the U.S. bombed the caves, the civilians got 
killed. The old fool did not realize that the people were NOT KILLED IN 
CAVES 
but in their  villages.
The final touch to the shamelessness of the U.S. heroes came from the 
Afghan 
headman who was attending to the collection of bodies for burial. He 
said 
that just when they had finished collecting the bodies, the villagers 
were 
bombed again by the heroes of the air.
Another Afghan said that all the farm animals  near Jalalabad have been 
killed by the U.S. bombers. Thus the terrorist air force is doing what 
it did 
in Iraq: Depriving the people of their means of subsistence.
