#2 ...a veteran jehadi....

Not too many around can claim that handle.
Analogy:

There are bold pilots
There are old pilots
There are few old and bold pilots

#4 Just sent you an email a few minutes ago. I am getting a weather briefing. Ceilings may be lower across Prince William Sound. Being single engine and on wheels, I like to have altitude to reach land with my plane. Flying low altitude over long stretches of cold water is inviting oneself to become crab bait if the mill quits. Remote but a factor.

#6 It is also in the grip of sectarian violence. So, lawlessness and anarchy are writ large on Pakistan’s face.
Thank you Gulbudeen, we'd never have realised this unless you pointed it out...
The notorious ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence) installed the Taliban and tried to remote-control Afghanistan from Islamabad.
The notorious ISID backed a certain Hekmatyar for years, indeed one could almost have described him as a Pakistani stooge. Didn't the ISID decide to back Taliban for one reason above all others, namely that the Taliban showed that they could actually win battles unlike a certain former ISID protege?
You had predicted the U.S.’ disintegration through your jehad...
Have mercy on the poor man, he wouldn't be a real Jihadist if he didn't foam at the mouth & rant nonsensically from time to time...
