Afghanistan war plans hit snags

President Barack Obama is already planning an massive buildup in Afghanistan and he is already hitting snags in this plan. He’s not sure he likes the country’s elected leader and international groups in Europe are reacting against his buildup.
I can also ad that some of us here in the US see this as a major foreign policy problem and we intend to devote as much time against this war as we did its twin in Iraq.

From McClatchy:

Will Obama support Karzai's re-election in Afghanistan?
Thursday that Afghanistan's second presidential election since the Taliban regime was ousted in 2001 will be held on Aug. 20 poses a critical question for the Obama administration: Should it favor a second term for President Hamid Karzai?
Relations between Karzai and the U.S. are worse than at any time in the past eight years. Each side accuses the other of conduct that has enabled the revival of the Taliban and soured many ordinary Afghans on the Kabul government and its international backers.
U.S. and European officials say they've grown frustrated by Karzai's failure to curb corruption, cronyism and incompetence, and they say he's refused to crack down on powerful officials, allegedly including one of his brothers, who are involved in the world's largest opium trade.

And from the (new)Italian Communist Party:

Text in MSWord format

Afghan Resistance has hit the aggressors hard again!
Long live Afghan people's heroic Resistance!
More and more killed soldiers among the mercenaries the Authorities of imperialist countries send to Afghanistan!
The Papal Court and the criminals who govern us are slaughterers of oppressed peoples, corrupters and murderers of our fellow countrymen!
Afghan people fights a just war against the aggressors, the occupiers and their puppets and collaborationists!
Afghan people's Resistance against imperialist and Zionist aggressors, strengthens the popular masses of imperialist countries too, who fight against exploitation, who defend their civilization and welfare attainments, who fight to establish the socialism!
Popular masses of imperialist countries' struggle against the bourgeoisie and its governments strengthens oppressed peoples' resistance!

On Monday August 18th, in a firefight about fifty kilometres from the capital Kabul, Afghan Resistance's forces have put at one blow out of action 31 French soldiers of the occupying forces: 10 dead and 21 wounded. Before such a serious blow, French authorities have not been able to hush all up, they have fallen prey to the panic, the soldiers' families protest and Sarkozy government had to promise a parliamentary debate on "French government's Afghan policy" for September 22nd .
In the two following days Afghan Resistance eliminated, in further fights, at least other 8 occupying forces' members, but the occupation headquarters has denied, as often it does, to provide the press with the particulars and the nationality of the fallen. The aggressors try not to alarm the public opinion of respective countries and not to strengthen the people's opposition to the imperialist expedition occupying and pillaging Afghanistan since autumn of 2001: at that time USA imperialists and their satellite states gave as pretexts for the aggression the attack to the Twin Towers in New York (September 11th 2001), officially waged by "Islamic fundamentalists" mostly coming from Saudi Arabia, and the contemporary Afghan government's "barbarity".
Afghan Resistance's forces more and more sturdily oppose the occupation and the puppet authorities set up by USA imperialists and by Zionists. In the whole Afghanistan the Resistance gets by now stronger day by day.
