British Army's new manual for AfPak: OFFER JIZYA, THEN NEGOTIATE, SERIOUSLY
Times UK:
British forces should buy off potential Taleban recruits with “bags of gold”, according to a new army field manual published yesterday.Army commanders should also talk to insurgent leaders with “blood on their hands” in order to hasten the end of the conflict in Afghanistan.
The edicts, which are contained in rewritten counter-insurgency guidelines, will be taught to all new army officers. They mark a strategic rethink after three years in which British and Nato forces have failed to defeat the Taleban.
The manual is also a recognition that the Army’s previous doctrine for success against insurgents, which was based on the experience in Northern Ireland, is now out of date.
The new instructions came on the day that Gordon Brown went farther than before in setting out Britain’s exit strategy from Afghanistan. The Prime Minister stated explicitly last night that he wanted troops to begin handing over districts to Afghan authorities during next year — a general election year in Britain.
So much for Great Britain, after HUNDREDS of years of colonies, and rule in muslim lands actually having a clue.
Jizya and negotiations will only postpone. IF IT EVEN 'WORKED'
