They Lie........

US Marines from Fox Company 2nd Battalion 3rd Marines are addressed by their commander before setting out from their base in Farah Province, southern Afghanistan. A fierce weekend clash in the remote mountains of eastern Afghanistan that left eight US soldiers dead also killed more than 100 Taliban fighters, NATO's International Security Assistance Force said Tuesday.

The Afghan Taliban pose no threat to the West but will continue their fight against occupying foreign forces, they said on Wednesday, the eighth anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion that removed them from power.

U.S.-led forces with the help of Afghan groups overthrew the Taliban government during a five week battle which started on October 7, 2001, after the militants refused to hand over al Qaeda leaders wanted by Washington for the September 11 attacks on America. "We had and have no plan of harming countries of the world, including those in Europe ... our goal is the independence of the country and the building of an Islamic state.

Why do they lie.............it's just another game they are pushing forward, to get what they want out of the American government. I don't believe a word they say...........too many lies.......!
