WikiLeak: U.S. Battling Militants from Turkey, Its NATO Ally

U.S. troops in Afghanistan near the border with Pakistan in 2007 were persistently attacked by militants identified as Turkish fighters, according to the trove of documents released Sunday by WikiLeaks.

The presence of Turkish fighters isn’t totally new. You can find sporadic references online, like this one from CBS in 2008.

Update, 4:23 p.m.: As a caveat to this whole post, all the WikiLeaks documents I reviewed here make clear references to “Turkish” fighters. But sometimes that label can be applied to ethnically-Turkic Afghans or other Turkic peoples in the region. So it’s possible that the frontline U.S. military units here could have confused or conflated Turkish fighters with Turkic fighters. We don’t have clear information that they did, but it’s a possibility that shouldn’t be ruled out, so please keep that in mind as you read this report.

:lol:

Lit the media TROLL  :lol:

This from the man who parades:

United States of Turkic Confederation... This is the the future of Turkish speaking people.
insan

Now he wants us to believe these "Turks" have nothing to do with him ...

First of all, it is said that they are Turkish or Turkic militants... this means they are not under command of official authorities of any Turkic republics; independent or autonomous... So how it has anything to do with Turkey being a NATO ally?

Second, there are anti-American political groups, armed or unarmed; in many countries all over the world speaking various languages including Turkic...

The title of the article is completely misleading that I'm sure is something gives you, Lit and alikes a lot of joy for self-satisfaction...

If they are speaking "Turkic", live in a "Turkic" region, then, they are "Turkic"; and if they are "Turkic" then, according to you, they are YOU!

Another example of not taking responsibility for the evil you spread....

"United States of Turkic Confederation... This is the the future of Turkish speaking people."

That’s not to say the Turks aren’t stalwart allies. Williams remembers talking with Turkish troops in Kabul last year, where he briefly worked as a cultural adviser on an information operations team for former commander Stanley McChrystal. The conversation turned to Turkish militants. “They were furious,” Williams recalls. “They believed in Turkey’s contribution to the U.S. presence. These guys said [the militants] were no longer Turks, in a nationalist sense. They were Salafis and Wahhabis.”

It would appear that they are individuals not government backed much like the British and sometimes US nationals that support the Jihadist movement.

So are we to read that as some support Jihad all are Jihadist? Is this the same as all Hellens being mass-murders as some supported Serbia in the falling apart of Yugoslavia?

They are soldiers (under instructions) ... not "individuals"!

Based on what evidence are the "Turks" engaging with US forces in Afghanistan soldiers of the Republic of Turkey acting on instructions of the Turkish Government?

Info from Wikileaks have been reproduced here by many so i guess many here see Wikileaks as credible. Very well then...

For the conspiracy twits:

Wikileaks Afghanistan: Osama bin Laden alive
Osama bin Laden is alive and playing a key role in directing the war in Afghanistan, leaked US military files suggest.

I already know what your thinking: Why, how can this be? There must be some sort of mistake. Osama is dead or living in the white house but those gullible Americans cant see past their shnooooze !
