Taliban Spokesman Blames American Women
This made my day.
On Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that "the Pakistani government is basically abdicating to the Taliban," but the spokesman, Haji Muslim Khan, said that Taliban anger was partly caused by the presence of female American soldiers in the region. Mr. Khan said that Pakistan's Prime Minister, Yousaf Raza Gilani, "should think about Western white women who take up arms and come from 20,000 miles away to fight against us here."
That's one thing to think about. The other thing to think about is: they're kicking your ass.
Given that the circumference of the planet is only about 25,000 miles, it is not clear what route Mr. Khan believes Western forces are taking to get to Pakistan.
