Afghanistan
Taliban "paralysed" by second British show of strength
2006-08-26
(KUNA) -- British troops have staged a second show of strength in an Afghan town at the centre of the Taliban insurgency, the UK Ministry of Defense (MoD) said Friday. More than 500 UK troops took part in "Operation Atomi" to move what was described as a "large number" of Afghan police into Musa Qaleh, in Helmand province's notorious Sangin valley.

The MoD said the operation was intended as a "deliberate show of force" to send a message that the Afghan Government was extending its authority into the region. British forces mounted a similar show of strength in the Musa Qaleh area less than three weeks ago following reports that it was coming under regular attack from Taliban fighters. The MoD said the latest operation had "paralysed" Taliban activities in the area while providing reassurance for local people.

#7  Um, A5089, a female dog is a "bitch"; a "biatch" is a ghetto gangbanger term for any female human they come across.

#6  When I was younger, we had a she-dog (IE a biatch), some kind of a rotweiller of sort, who had a bad relationship with an another dog; after being trashed a couple of time, she would bark at him whenever he was in sight, but hide when he came by (for example by exiting the trail to climb up a steep bushy mountain side), to bark at him again when he was out of range. Woof, woof, I chased you away.

So, basically, the taliban are UK's bich, here, to me.
