Touted as a military success, the reality in Afghanistan is the United States’ MOAB (mother of all bombs) damage and prowess proved largely a dud and likely cost the U.S.-led war on ISIS and Taliban terror factions far more casualties than it created, according to an assessment from US Intel Ops in the Afghan theater.
We are getting this raw intelligence from our contacts in Afghanistan. We have edited very little, as mainstream news outlets are already censoring this intelligence, or they are simply not plugged in enough to obtain it. That is not our problem, as we have the Intel.
We are going raw Intel format instead of traditional news story format because this is how the information was disseminated. Since the US dropped the “mother of all bombs” on a suspected ISIS cave labyrinth, numbers of casualties have not been fully reported by US officials. Sources on the ground indicate the mega-ton bomb killed under 100 ISIS-linked soldiers and brass of the Islamic State. MOAB for the most part, proved a military dud, our sources said. It was however, a public relations victory. But that victory proved temporary.
While MOAB was being trumpeted in the United States, an attack over the weekend — thought to have been sparked by MOAB — has dwarfed the devastation of the Trump administration’s MOAB drop.
And it was carried out by approximately a dozen highly trained Taliban operatives who bribed Afghani officials to carry out a massacre of more than 200 Afghani security forces, many who trained longer than a decade under the tutelage and coffers of the United States. In short, the US-controlled Aghani Security Force sold out their countrymen and allowed the Taliban to infiltrate and murder over 200 soldiers who were unarmed and emerging from morning prayers on their way to lunch.
The assault lasted five hours and is the largest single deadliest assault on an Afghan military base in the 16-years or turmoil.
“You read in the news about how MOAB defeated ISIS but it did not even scratch ISIS,” a DOD insider told True Pundit. “The devastation here from the attack we believe was retaliation and it was much more brutal in terms of casualties than MOAB. There is no comparison. You can’t just drop one bomb like that and run to the newspapers, you have to pound them for days. Our enemies are well trained and well funded and smart.
“Americans need to know this back at home. Seems like MOAB was a publicity stunt. No follow up which gave the enemy a license to retaliate.”
