Blood cant wash Blood or revenge cant repair the damage......howsoever, strong your armies may be, you will always need the favour of the inhabitants to the possession of a province. If a forest catches fire, both the dry and the wet will burn. (Afghan Persian Proverbs)

Afghanistan today looks aloof. The US spun out war has now stretched out. As 2018 gave way to 2019, the war mellowed into a terror-stricken shape-pushing the panic button. The American civil society lives under Cimmerian-Shade about the war strategy Pentagon has adopted. Majority of security experts have got the real picture of the CIA and Pentagon failure to bring home Gallus-Gallus chicken. Coalition casualties are rapidly pullulating, while Afghanistan has become the trauma state. The US civilian and military leadership were routinely issuing inflated assessments of progress that contradicted what was actually happening in major provinces of Afghanistan since 2001. They were unable to explain their yearning and hankering. The real failure of the American army in Afghanistan is much broader than the internal cold war in the White House. Disastrously, the entire national security infrastructure of the country failed to recognize or acknowledge the actual misalliance. More worrisome is the inability of CIA, MI6, and Pentagon to address the need of regional players for peace in Afghanistan.

The US outstretched war kept the ball rolling to devastate lives in Afghanistan. On 21 August 2017, in his Port Myer speech, President Trump also advocated the idea:

I share the American peoples frustration. I also share their frustration over a foreign policy that has spent too much time, energy, money, and most importantly lives, trying to rebuild countries in our own image, instead of pursuing our security interests above all other considerations. That is why, shortly after my inauguration, I directed Secretary of Defence Mattis and my national security team to undertake a comprehensive review of all strategic options in Afghanistan and South Asia

President Trumps abrupt announcement of troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, and all at once, White House rubbished media reports (Dawn-2018) in an emailed statement: The President has not made a determination to draw down United States military presence in Afghanistan and he has not directed the Department of Defence to begin the process of withdrawing US personnel from Afghanistan. These contradictory and antithetical statements of the President clearly stipulated his frustration, and exasperation, and exposed the increasingly undependable position of his government.

Analyst Sara flounders (2018) viewed the decision of President Trump as a complete failure of the US military establishment: The announcement has opened a chasm within U.S. ruling circles. Resignations from the Trump administration and ensuing denunciations are calling the attention of the masses to the heated conflict. Mattis resignation reflects how the announced withdrawal is a dramatic break with countries that have collaborated with the U.S. in Syria, such as France, Germany, Belgium and Britain. All

Non-observance and weariness of the US and NATO commanders in Afghanistan is comparatively perceptible from their untraditional anger against Children and women they killed with impunity. The war brought instability, hatred, disparities and destruction8, and the US army shamelessly uses an eye for eye strategies kills civilians and destroys national critical infrastructure. Due to the rivalries of different regional powers, peace became far away dream in Afghanistan, while the United States and its allies also comprehended the disputed point.

The longest war that impacted liberal societies in the West unfathomably in many ways; has now entered a crucial phase.

The US and NATO forces used all means of viciousness, including unwarrantable dog-rape, and dropped the most powerful Nonnuclear-Mother-of-Bombs which caused incurable disease, death and suffering.

The US war crimes are more irksome and heartbreaking. In 2012, a group of women were killed by US air strike in Laghman province. On 30 November 2018, a UN report noted the killing of 23 civilians by US forces. On 20 July 2018, air strike of US army killed fourteen members of a family, including three small children, in northern Afghanistan. On 15 December 2018, more than 20 women and children were killed intentionally by US army in Kunar Province. However, on 26 July 2010, Telegraph reported the killing of Afghan civilians by the British army. According to the Ministry of Defence report, (Mirror Online, 3 January 2015) British soldiers killed 186 innocent civilians in Afghanistan.

In 2010, an American soldier deliberately killed Afghan citizens for sport.

On 14 November 2013, Global Research in its report documented some aspects of US and NATO forces war crimes in Afghanistan: The US war criminals remain unpunished. Accountability is denied. Conflict persists. Trillions of dollars go mass slaughter and destruction. Theyre spent for unchallenged global dominance. Children were massacred while they slept. Women were raped before soldiers killed them. Pentagon officials and mainstream media whitewashed what happened. Seventeen Afghan men were detained. They disappeared. Residents found 10

What happened in Bagram prison was heartbreaking, and it can be seen in the CIA torture report prepared by Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA).

On 11 September 2018, Voice of America (VOA) reported the United States discountenance to cooperate with the International Criminal Court.

The killing of innocent children in Kunar province in 2013 and 2018, and the MSF hospital strike of 2015 in Kunduz province that killed 42 and injured more than 30, were only a few incidents of the bloodshed caused by US actions in Afghanistan. The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Mrs. Fatou Bensouda, issued her annual Report on Preliminary Examination Activities (2016). The Bensouda report spotlighted the US army torture and physical abuse of detainees:

The information available suggests that victims were deliberately subjected to physical and psychological violence,

In spite of their sweat and continuous combat since the invasion of October 2001, the CIA, MI6, and Eye-5 Intelligence Alliance failed to put the Taliban insurgency in nutshell.

Failure of Afghan intelligence agencies to defeat the Taliban in Afghanistan has deeply gloomed international community that consequences of wrongly designed counterinsurgency and counterterrorism strategies are consistently substandard.

Before the Taliban attack on Kunduz, Afghan intelligence operatives safely left the city without informing the government in Kabul,

Deploying under-trained and inexperienced intelligence officers-with limited knowledge of technical tools or key operational skills, resulted in the collection of low-quality disinformation, which led military commander on wrong direction.
