| 'Uzbeks, Chechens fighting along Taliban' |
| 2008-11-19 |
| Three tribal elders on Tuesday escaped from Taliban captivity in Bajaur Agency, claiming presence of a large number of foreigners in the Taliban ranks. Malak Bakht Munir and two other tribal elders told reporters that the foreigners included Chechens and Uzbek, Tajik, Sudanese and Afghan nationals. The Taliban kidnapped seven elders of a Mamoond tribal lashkar on Monday. Munir said their hands and legs were tied with chains and they were led blindfolded to a house. "The Taliban were warning us that we will be beheaded in a day or two," he said. |

| #6 further proof of victory in Iraq. Only kinda, sorta. Victory in Iraq, but not defeat for our enemies. They just moved to a more favorable battlefield. The whole point of going into Iraq in the first place was to get them to fight us on a battlefield more favorable to us (than A'stan) - which they did, and they lost heavily. But they learned their lesson and returned to Somalia and Afghanistan, where conditions are more favorable for them. Sneer though we do at their religion, it does give them a much stronger 'will' to fight than we as a people have anymore - since for too many of us our diety is ourselves. |

| #2 Illegal immigrants seem to be a problem everywhere. Probably there for the economic opportunities. |
