WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Kabul – Nato-led forces killed 22 militants in ground and air assaults in Afghanistan’s eastern province of Khost overnight, the alliance said on Thursday.
A Nato-led patrol was attacked by Taliban insurgents and foreign forces retaliated with close-air and ground support, killing 22 militants in Babrak Tana district, which is close to the Pakistani border, the alliance said.
Earlier a statement from the Ministry of Defense said Afghan troops killed eight insurgents and wounded two more in a fierce battle in the same district of Khost province overnight.
More than 5 000 people and nearly 300 foreign troops were killed last year in Afghanistan, United Nations and aid agencies have said, making it the worst year of violence since the US-led invasion of 2001.
Military experts say fighting in Afghanistan will increase in 2009 with the arrival of 30 000 extra US troops, which newly sworn-in President Barack Obama is expected to approve.
Meanwhile, US-led coalition troops killed six militants and detained one more during an operation targeting a roadside bomb network in the Dai Chopan district in the southern Zabul province on Wednesday, a US military statement said.
The Taliban could not be immediately reached for comment about any of the reports. – Reuters
