This news article has to be some sort of reverse propaganda surly,
The UK armed forces don't have the pilots or helicopters for our own missions, We have to relie on support from the USMC, We are not known as the " borrowers" for nothing, IMO this probably a divide and conquer tactic..

We're not known for borrowers of anything??? Hmmm, let's see if I can refute that statement intelligently. WE'VE BORROWED TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM CHINA.
Enough said.
In the north the 209th Corps covers a relatively stable region of eight provinces with a single brigade, although a second is due to roll out over the second and third quarter of 2009.
For eight years since the U.S.-aided toppling of the Taliban, the residents of the Qala-i-Zal district of Konduz Province have relied on Afghan government forces for security.
Until recently, that seemed enough.
But beginning some 18 months ago, the Taliban began returning to this area of northern Afghanistan in force.
Now, in Qala-i-Zal district, worried local officials have taken matters into their own hands.
"We decided that in Qala-i-Zal we would hire 150 to 200 "auxiliaries" to the police force,” says the district governor, Mohammad Nazir. “And we decided the people who are hired should be good people whose character can be vouched for by the mullahs, the elders, or the council itself. We had to hire good people, not irresponsible ones."

Nothing surprises me anymore, Obama worked for CIA, the brother of Karzai is on the CIA paylist.
All to support the opium trade and profits...

Here is one possible answer.
They witnessed the military choppers during Insertion/Extraction of our Spies/Soldiers/Counter insurgents dressed in traditional garb. Dropped off to set out on their missions or retrieval. If this is the case it's no wonder why the military would deny such activity.
Just a thought.

QFT Except i think you may have meant OSAMA not Obama worked for the cia. Osama's cia handle was Tim Osmand.
The Taliban that they extracted at the very most may just provide intel to the US but at the same time they are still full fledged members of the Taliban and still take part in all operations including killing coalition forces.
Is it ok to let certain Taliban go because they give you info if that Taliban will later kill your men. It isn't if the info they give is purposely never used or provided to the armed forces by the corrupt intelligence agencies.
I know for a fact that this war is never intended to end and that the US and Coalition intelligence agencies even if they get Intel will never use it.
I believe saving these informants is a rues to keep the enemy safe so they can continue to have an enemy to fight and this war can go on forever and ever.

Why? Possibly because we are expendable to the elites of the world. Even the G8 wives wasting half a mil to see little black children from Africa, could very well be yet another sign they are preparing to kiss our current society good bye.
Maybe they want those children to start a whole new slave force in the near future.
We are dealing with psychotic rich people who are completely divorced from our lives, and through this separation of class and status, they can justify blowing up a market place full of women and children. We are seen as lesser, and it shows.
