    Don’t;
    discount
    the Englishman’s commanding
    abilities, over more than
    a
    million strong Pakistan army
    along
    the
    southern borders
    of
    Afghanistan- neither; the
    Russian-poised
    surrogates
    armies
    of
    Ex-republics
    on
    the northern fringes.
    ===
    ==
    =
    *IT IS JUST
    A
    TACTICAL
    MILITARY MOVE.
    BY
    NATO
    ALLIANCE.

    All; through out
    passage
    of
    many generations; they have had been
    able
    to
    somehow almost
    perfectly execute
    a
    grotesque model
    of
    social chaos and mayhem
    inside
    Afghanistan- NOW;
    *GOOD LUCK
    TRYING
    TO
    SIFT THROUGH
    FOR
    A
    “CLEANING OPERATION“ !
