#1 I thought they surrendered in the fall, avoided the harsh Afghan winter, and then picked up their guns in the spring to resume the war? Did these guys read their schedules backwards?

#2 I think this may be an attempt to infiltrate the country from within, Glenmore. The people that attacked the UN compound were also chieu hoi's. Perhaps the government should announce that anyone committing acts of violence after surrendering to the government should have both feet removed -- at the knees.

#4 " both feet removed -- at the knees"
Or, given their cultural propensities, at the neck.
