I have been sitting here reading the headlines from the MSM sources and I've been noticing a possible pattern. Are parts of the fragmented Taliban
falling apart? I've read some of the following reports on the Taliban training young boys for their cause now I know some will say it's just the
next generation of fighters which a very real possibility. No doubt. but could it be...
Pakistan army says Taliban training boys to
fight
MINGORA, Pakistan — In a voice barely above a whisper, I.H. stared at his feet as he recounted haltingly how the Taliban kidnapped him and a
classmate as they played in the street. They cleaned dishes for a few days in a militant training camp in northern Pakistan before escaping during
Friday prayers, he said.
The Pakistani army says it has so far found 20 boys like I.H., who is only being identified by his initials for his safety, in the battle-scarred Swat
Valley, scene of a major offensive against the Taliban this spring.
They believe the Taliban hoped to turn the boys into informants, fighters or even suicide bombers. Some escaped, others were rescued by authorities.
Maj. Nasir Khan said many more are believed to be in the hands of militants.
We also have another story of the head of the Pakistani Taliban being killed and that there is now a power struggle between the different factions
within the organization.
National security adviser: US believes Mehsud
deadWASHINGTON — The United States is nearly certain the Pakistani Taliban's leader is dead, and there now is a leadership struggle
within the terrorist group, White House national security adviser James Jones said Sunday.
Claims and counterclaims about Baitullah Mehsud's fate have swirled since a CIA missile strike last Wednesday on his father-in-law's house in
Pakistan's rugged, lawless tribal area.
"Mehsud was a very bad individual, a real thug," said Jones, who appeared on three Sunday talk shows. He said the U.S. "put it in the 90 percent
category" that Meshud was killed. "This is a big deal," he said.
Nobody outside of my own tinfoil hat thinking has tried to connect these dots. For some reason this just reminds me of another struggle once upon a
time where one group was desperate for fighters and turned to their youth to help the struggle. Is this possibly a sign of the end? I'm not making a
statement of fact just asking a question. I'm looking forward to your opinion and contributions.
Hitler Youth
By 1945, the Volkssturm was commonly drafting 12-year-old Hitler Youth members into its ranks. During the Battle of Berlin, Axmann's Hitler Youth
formed a major part of the last line of German defense, and were reportedly among the fiercest fighters. Although the city commander, General Helmuth
Weidling, ordered Axmann to disband the Hitler Youth combat formations; in the confusion, this order was never carried out.
