#1 Lessons for the world:

Asymmetrical warfare against the US works. If there's an attack on the US there might be some military reaction against terrorist groups, state sponsors however enjoy absolute immunity.

If the POTUS issues an ultimatum in the aftermath of a massive attack in the US, such an ultimatum can be safely ignored, being no more relevant than a rant by comical Ali.

It was the Bush administration that went wobbly in October of 2001.
The above mentioned lessons reflect a broad consensus in the political classes of the US and major Western nations.

War in eastern Europe is only a small part of the price that will be paid for this madness.

#3 If the Taliban was a CHRISTIAN "armed insurgency" the White House and State would have named them a terrorist network in a heart beat.

Better watch out for all of those conservative white war veterans and their weapons...that's where the real danger comes from...really?

Do we have a Pakistani press secretary? Only the paks are capable of this kind of mental gymnastics without suffering a stroke.

#4 Are the Afghan Taliban terrorists?

A. Yes. Next question.
B. Who cares. Shoot the MFers.
C. Maybe, but they do like to bugger little boys, throw acid in the faces of little girls and play party host for the demonstrably worst airline pilots in world history.
D. All of the above.
