MOD: Reports on the successor operation to Operation MOSHTARAK in Helmand Province Afghanistan, the MOD states Operation TOR SHEZADA will clear the insurgents from “ Sayedabad to the south of Nad 'Ali in Helmand province ”. The aim of the operation will be to clear and hold the area and prevent the Taliban / Al Qaeda coming back and mounting attack operations against NATO Forces. The question that the Taliban will ask should they fight or just walk away, the Obama and Cameron remarks on timetables for getting out of Afghanistan is a good a reason as another for the Taliban to keep their powder dry, it can be postulated that that Taliban could just wait out the US and UK forces, as Operation Moshtrarak has shown the Taliban have returned to Marjah, its not easy to tell the Taliban apart from innocent civilisations, thus lets see what the Taliban do, in Marjah they just walked away and came back when it suited them, that is why Afghanistan is a lot like Vietnam and why Obama is the next LBJ not Reagan.
