#1 It was only Alahuddins second day in Afghanistan and it went horribly wrong

Let's hope his experience is typical!

Some of the rebels not killed by the troops blew themselves up with their own grenades

Heartwarming, isn't it? No virgins for you, bozos!

There is no jihad here, everybody is Muslim

Hmm. Smarter than your average extremist. To send him back; to send him back not. Where's my daisy?

They cross into Afghanistan ~~even~~ especially in areas where Pakistani posts are installed

There. Fixed it.

For all practical purposes, now the Taliban are running the show

??? What does this mean? Just by sheer willingness to throw thousands of soon-to-be dead bodies at coalition forces that they have someow managed to be calling the shots? I honestly don't know what's going on here. It seems like the Taliban have expended all their experienced fighters. Just go kill the mullahs and be done with it.

#2 It is supposed to be Tet all over again, with Walter Cronkite telling us that we have lost and us ditching the Afghanis to the wolves, like we did the South Vietnamese. However, this time around, people have seen this crap before and aren't buying it, at least not in the numbers that would matter politically. Plus, the Internet is providing a counterbalance to the doomsayers and defeatists.
