Non-UniqueNon-Unique – Obama and NATO already sent a surge into Kandahar VOA News 10 (26 May 2010, http://www1.voanews.com/english/news/asia/U-S-and-NATO-Forces-Plan-Kandahar-Offensive--94916094.html)IM Thousands of additional American forces are heading into southern Afghanistan, part of the troop surge that President Barack Obama has deployed to help end the Taliban-fuelled insurgency. Already, U.S. and coalition troops are increasing pressure in and around the southern city of Kandahar, where the Taliban have re-emerged and are threatening the population. Military officials say the strategy behind the operation in Kandahar is to establish security so that ordinary Afghans can live their lives without fear of the Taliban. U.S. Major General James Terry will take command of southern Afghanistan forces in the fall. He is visiting Kandahar to get a sense of what is happening and describes what the coming weeks will bring. "You are going to see an uplift of forces come in and I think you'll start to see this tightening ring of security in and around Kandahar city that I think will then provide the security bubble for governance to start to take in and development to start to take root in Kandahar city," the major general said. In Kandahar city itself, Afghan police and military forces are to take the lead in the operation. Their military units, called "Kandaks," will be supported by coalition troops. Afghan security forces have improved a lot since General Terry was last here in 2006. "Very encouraging, I think they've made a lot of significant progress especially in command and control and the quality of their Kandaks and their efficiency," he said. No Solvency – Flawed StrategyNo Solvency – Taliban have changed their tactics Moradi 10 (Ehsanollah Dawlat headlined "The attacks in Kandahar and the new strategy of the Taleban" published by Afghan independent paper Hasht-e Sobh 15 March Lexis Nexis TBC 7/6/10) According to some analysts, the Taleban have now discerned that their coordinated attacks can have extensive effects, therefore, it was seen that the terrorists entered Kandahar city in group and committed suicide attacks there. Some news sources quoting the Taleban's spokesperson have announced that as the Taleban claim, a terrorist group comprising of 16 terrorists entered Kandahar in a group and carried out their attacks. It seems that the new strategy of the Taleban requires a new and appropriate strategy by the Afghan and international forces as well. The Taleban have now concluded that they cannot be successful in the face-to-face fighting with the Afghan and foreign forces. However, such conditions had previously been seen during Operation Moshtarak [together] in the district of Marja in Helmand when the Taleban could not resist against the Afghan and foreign forces for a long time. Taking that point into consideration that it has previously been announced by the NATO forces that a military operation similar to the one in Marja will also be conducted in Kandahar, the Taleban have now changed their fighting tactic and are making efforts to carry out such organized and coordinated attacks in order to disrupt the preparations of the massive military operation in Kandahar. No Solvency – Troops Not KeyNo Solvency – Real problem can’t be solved by troops Benoit 10 (Daphne (AFP) – Jun 19, http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5h99Di4oujOF_GorMcW2_NiRi7PGA TBC 7/5/10) It is a phrase often used by American commanders: "Kandahar city is not burning." In the hub of southern Afghanistan, birthplace and stronghold for the Taliban, US-led NATO forces are using a gentle approach, training police and attempting to restore the authority of a government accused of absenteeism. "No one really fights us in the city. The problem is, there is no governance. Militias, gangs, criminal groups govern the city. The solution is going to be a government solution," said a US military official in Kandahar. No Solvency – McChrystal Was KeyAlt Cause – McChrystal removal kills Kandahar offense Malik 10 (Maqbool June 25 The Nation http://www.nation.com.pk/pakistan-news-newspaper-daily-english-online/Politics/25-Jun-2010/McChrystals-removal-a-blow-to-Kandahar-op TBC 7/6/10) The removal of US General McChrystal and the subsequent change of command in the NATO-led ISAF efforts seeking peace and stability, particularly in Afghanistan, have met serious blow, thus giving rise to the fear that US and its western allies are likely to fail to realise the objectives of the eight years long war against terror. Background discussions and interviews with diplomats, political analysts and security experts revealed that dramatic developments would have far-reaching military and political consequences on the US-led international war against terror. The removal of the NATO-led ISAF commander who had planned a decisive crackdown on Kandahar, the headquarter of Afghan Taliban, ostensibly in an effort to create conducive conditions in Afghanistan so that the US could victoriously embark on its troops pullout plan slated to begin from July 2011. “Politically, the US move to replace General McChrystal would boost Taliban’s morale who were lately feeling more alienated as result of the US-sponsored Afghan Taliban’s reintegration,” the sources informed. Security experts were of the view that departure of commander who planned the Kandahar offensive and was set to execute it with the surge of 30,000 US troops due to arrive in Afghanistan by August would make it more difficult for the new Commander General David Petraeus to realise the critical objectives, notwithstanding the US continues with the same war strategy. McChrystal removal kills Kandahar operation Malik 10 (Maqbool June 25 The Nation http://www.nation.com.pk/pakistan-news-newspaper-daily-english-online/Politics/25-Jun-2010/McChrystals-removal-a-blow-to-Kandahar-op TBC 7/6/10) “President Karzai being the main supporter of Kandahar offensive would now have to think twice whether he should continue supporting the same or keep a low key profile ostensibly for political interest and security of his family,” some sources informed. They pointed that President Karzai and his younger brother could not visit their hometown in Kandahar province primarily because of security threats posed by their closely related Taliban. They warned that the proposed US-led military operation in Kandahar would remain a distant dream as long as it fails broad based public support, which they believed would not be possible for General David Petraeus.
