Afghan Army Battles TalibanInnocent Tribesmen at Border Crossing?
(Hat Tip to 4th Rail)

An Afghan army officer says government troops have killed at least 15 suspected Taleban fighters innocent tribesmen on their nightly stroll who crossed the border from neighboring Pakistan.
Don't shoot!! Don't shoot!! We are from the UN and we're here to help you!!!
The Afghan commander says his soldiers attacked the insurgents late Tuesday near the border town of Spin Boldak, in Kandahar province.
I am sure they were just lost. You know crossing those mountains can get pretty confusing.
Guess the jogging trail wasn't marked very well.
He said among the dead was Taleban commander Mullah Shien, who is believed to have led several attacks.
Mullah Shien. Is he any kin to Cindy Shien? Just asking.
The Afghan officer said at least four insurgents ran back across the border during the fighting.
Mommy, mommy. Those bad men are shooting at us!!
Afghanistan is urging Pakistan to do more to fight Taleban militants. The Kabul government's top diplomat, Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah, speaking in Washington earlier this week, said Taleban training camps in Pakistan's tribal areas are a source of "instability and terror," posing a threat to the entire region.
Nah. Yah got that that wrong there Minister Abdullah Abdullah (not to be confused with Rosanna Rosanna Danna). Pakistan and the ISI are doing everything in their power to prevent Taleban from setting up shop in Pakistan. You got the wrong GPS coordinates plugged in.
If they aren't Paks, then the Paks won't care if we and the Afghans whack them, right?
The Afghan foreign minister blames Taleban leaders for cross-border attacks carried out by pro-Taleban militants based in Pakistan.
I wonder how many they would have killed if they claimed to be Christian converts?
With the warmer summer months approaching, insurgents from Afghanistan's ousted Taleban regime have vowed to increase their attacks on foreign forces and the western-backed government in Kabul.
Ahh, Spring. The sound of gunfire...the spell of Poppies and chordite!! It has to be Afghanistan!
American-led forces overthrew the hard-line Islamist Taleban regime in Afghanistan more than four years ago, after the terrorist attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001. Taleban-controlled Afghanistan had been the base of operations for Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaida terror network.
Ahhh...you've been watching too much Fox, and reading too many right-wing blogs. AQ ain't no threat. That's what Norman Mailer said.
Insurgents' continuing attacks against foreign forces in Afghanistan and the Kabul government have killed more than 1500 people during the past year - the highest death toll since 2001.
Can't be. Muslims don't kill muslims. Says so right in their Qoran.
