Taliban kill four Afghan soldiers in ambush
2006-02-25
Taliban guerrillas killed four Afghan soldiers in an ambush in the restive southern province of Helmand where British troops have begun setting up bases as part of an expanded NATO deployment. The soldiers were killed during a patrol on Thursday night in Girishk district and the attackers fled after a brief clash, district police chief Khan Mohammad Khan said on Friday. "The soldiers were patrolling in vehicles when they were attacked," he said. "Four soldiers were killed and one wounded while one Taliban fighter was killed and five wounded."

A Taliban spokesman, Qari Mohammad Yousuf, said Taliban fighters had killed 12 Afghan soldiers in the ambush.

#9  I'm so confused, I thought Boris was a lop-eared serbian troll?! Is he a lop-eared serbian troll from Atlanta? Is Atlanta in Serbia? It's too complicated, I'll never graduate!

#8  Rantburg would be good for advanced studies, say beginning in the fifth or sixth year. Before that, make them read the old McGuffy Reader and a history of the Western World from the early 1950's, before the leftists "revised" it. Senior courses would also include Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell, plus anything in writing by Scalia and Clarence Thomas. THEN let them read the Koran - and protect them when they laugh.

#7  "If Fred bans three trolls in the morning and four in the afternoon, how many trolls has Fred banned that day?"

The answer is Boris in Atlanta!

#6  You'll note that they almost never, ever, kill somebody and get away clean. Usually they lose more lives then they take. This is not good tactics.

#4  "Subrumanian?" subhumanian is more like it.

I propose a compromise, TW: kill all the men. Kill any boys holding guns. forcibly teach reading, writing, arithmetic, and craft skills to all the women and children. The Torah, the Christian New Testament, and Rantburg will be the primary texts:

"If Fred bans three trolls in the morning and four in the afternoon, how many trolls has Fred banned that day?"

#2  Four Tqaliban wounded? They'll be amenable to questioning then. Find out where they came from, and do something about it. (I wanted to say, "Wipe out the village," but then I thought of babies out in snow, and I flinched. I'm not cut out for soldiering, I'm afraid.)
