#1 I get confused when it comes to stories where I'm supposed to pick sides between Muslims battling each other. Its rather laughable to pretend that either one can be the "good" side, although I'll concede that sometimes its better when one *bad* side beats the other *bad* side.

Without Dostum's help, our SF elements might not have captured Taliban Johnny.

#5 #4 Without Dostum's help, our SF elements might not have captured Taliban Johnny. Posted by: Besoeker Yes sir. And without Obama's help, Fazl would still be in GTMO awaiting the war crimes trials for killing thousands to include Johnny Michael Spann. In effect Dostum good - Obama bad.
