#3 I guess they're going to repeat this story until they get the desired effect out of it, i.e. provide cover for Presidente Zero's withdrawl plan.

#4 From Al Jazeera, so salt to taste.

equipment could have come from:
1) The Pakis
2) Afghan police and/or military
3) abandoned by US military.

My betting is on 2)

#6 Not all that much equipment was shown.

I don't know, the message seemed to be: "If you want to live in a stone quarry with rusting hulks of cars and wander around in rags, throw in with the Taliwackoed?"

#7 Almost all of it is from AWOL Afghan military who sell there personal weapons. Makes one want to arm them with weapons made from Cobalt-60.
