#1 I do believe he volunteered himself for the target list. 2000 pounders into the family compound.

#2 "There is a difference. The Taliban are local Pashtun religious fanatics who want to impose their brand of Mohammedanism on their own country and their neighbors by force. Al-Qaeda is an international organization made up of Arab religious fanatics who want to impose their brand of Mohammedanism on their neighbors and the entire world by force."

Because there is no "border" beyond which the Taliban believes it cannot enforce Islam, there is little difference between these nutcases in the end. Didn't we determine once 9/11 happened that hiding leagues away within our distant borders, hoping that Islamic-inspired murders would be limited to other countries, hadn't worked out too well for 3000 Americans, and might not be the best anti-terrorism strategy from that point forward? That was the line, anyway...

#3 Is he one of the evacuees from Kunduz?
Will we ever learn why that was permitted?
