#1 They could be lying again.

Pakistani Taliban was behind the attempted Times Square bombing by Pakistani-American Faisal Shahzad in May 2010 yet the Pakistan Taliban denied this.

#2 I'm more inclined to think that this group has a higher probability of being involved. Two of their imans in MA and RI were busted for immigration fraud.

#4 I think the Taliban has had enough of our shock and awe and has lost enough people to understand not to pull our tail.

It seems to me, Bill, that the Taliban believe they have chased us out of Afghanistan, which means they think they've won. Even if lots of their guys are suffering from depression as they await the next drone, wondering if it's their turn to kiss a missile.

I wish it were so Bill, but their track record indicates otherwise.
