Partial withdrawal of the US soldiers from the front line in Paktia was made because the Americans are not prepared good enough for military operations in the mountains. The Times writes about it referring to the commanders of armed formations of Hamid Karzai. The US command defined the withdrawal of about 400 of their soldiers from the mountainous regions in Eastern Afghanistan as a tactical re-evaluation of the operations plan.
«They were not prepared to conduct military operations up in the mountains, that's why they were absolutely useless in the combat», - one of the Afghan commanders said about the Americans. – «They undermined the fighting spirit of our fighters, so good thing they were called off».
Another local commander, Shah Mahood Popal believes that the US command called off 400 troops from the front line in order to face risks by the lesser amount of their people. «Afghans are not afraid of big losses, because we are better prepared to fight in these conditions. Let the Americans just bomb», - Mahmood Popal said.
Meanwhile the opponents of the Taliban have to admit that the Mujahideen are not only undefeated but they also pose a real threat to the new pro-American regime in Kabul and to the Americans in particular. Large groups of the Talian and Al-Qaeda forces are gathering in four Afghan provinces. According to Reuters, these reports came from anonymous sources inside the Karzai administration. According to the sources, concentrations of the Taliban troops were spotted in Vardak, Ghazni, Khost and Paktia provinces, which are located in Eastern Afghanistan.
Regardless of the obvious facts and leaks of information about the real state of affairs, the Pentagon keeps claiming that the US military successfully defeated a group of Taliban forces and Al-Qaeda members in the vicinity of Gardez (administrative center of Paktia). However at the same time the US command admits that in other regions the concentration of the Taliban forces is continuing. According to the data from the US intelligence, the number of Mujahideen in these four provinces amounts to several thousand men. On this matter, the Western mass media referring to the Pentagon reported that in the nearest future Karzai is going to sent up to 5 thousand of his militants to the places where the Taliban forces are concentrated.
