#1 What the Taliban are trying to prove is that Western forces in Afghanistan are incompetent servants to the Afghan people. They're incompetent because they do not understand their master's needs and wishes.

Any official Western rebuttal to the Taliban would claim that Western forces are indeed effective and committed servants, but the underlying ~~ludicrous~~ premise, that our troops are supposed to serve the Afghans would not be disputed.

No official would dare say that Western forces are in Afghanistan to eliminate a threat and to retaliate for an attack by hunting down and killing terrorists and those who harbor them, whether the Afghans agree with this policy or not.

#3 From this day forward, all Predators should be armed with two napalm canisters, and attacks made using napalm instead of explosives. After we fry a few taliban leaders and their families, I'm sure there will be a 'rethinking' of the taliban thinking, and the 'foreign' elements will be substantially less welcome house guests.
