#2 hee hee Spot. Long as they're gettin 10,000 steps a day all is well. It's a lot easier to make mistakes on the move.

#3 I get the impression that being "Taliban" in that area is like being "redneck" in West Virginia. It's more a general state of mind than a club with ID cards.

#6 Well, at least we are not playing under chess rules: if the king was forced to move back and forth two or three times (?) the game would be declared a stalemate. I am sure glad that everything is so top secret so nobody on either side knows what is going on.

#7 I think it's time to paint the Afghan/Pak border with a very, VERY persistent, deadly chemical agent, marked by bright orange dumped from the same C-130. Paint the entire border, about half a mile wide. Leave gaps only at recognized border crossing points. Send out a patrol once or twice a month in full hazmat suits to pick up the deaders. Repaint as needed. After a couple of years, open up the empty terrain for settlement by exquimioux or Bantus, or whoever else isn't organically color-blind.
