| 2004-07-24 |
| Twelve US soldiers were killed and six Taliban were martyred as clashes erupted in Uruzgan province of Afghanistan. Taliban spokesman Abdul Latif Hakimi said that the US troops surrounded Taliban Mujahideen in the Deh Rawood district of the province and violent clashes erupted between the two sides. The Mujahideen were able to take down twelve US soldiers. The battle broke out Tuesday after troops crept up on about 50 Mujahideen on a mountainside near the town. "The soldiers demanded that they surrender, but they opened fire," according to Mayor Amir Jan, killing twelve US soldiers. Six Taliban were martyred and three are said to be brothers of a close associate of Omar called Mullah Abbas. The US military had no comment on the battle. American planes bombed the area afterwards and there are reports that five local were injured as the results. |

| #3 anymouse: Only a MidEast muslim-p, or someone who would vote for Sheila Jackson would believe this crap. I understand why they do it - to keep morale up and the recruits and funding coming. Sure - the real situation does eventually leak out, but most of the Muslim press is cooperating with the effort. The good thing about this? Even the fence-sitters will be drawn into the fighting - meaning that when it is over, and they're defeated, they really are defeated - no ands, ifs or buts about it. |

| #2 It has to do with the inbreeding. If your Maw's not your Aunt Boo or your Paw's not Uncle Mahmoud this stuff doesn't make sense. |
