#1 "I donât want any Muslim to be captured by infidels," said Zulfiqar Jalali, a 27-year-old officer standing outside a police station on a traffic-congested Kabul street. "Saddam is an Iraqi and has the right to live freely in his country."
I think we have found Kabul's village idiot, unless there is an inalienable right to feed fellow muslims into a plastic shreader.

#2 We'll never get Binny. He's a smear on the wall of a caved-in bunker someplace.

#3 If Zulfiqar is a typical example of the Western trained "new police officer", then I don't hold out too much hope for the people of Afghanistan. "Saddam is an Iraqi and has the RIGHT to live freely..." What a f**king mind set.

#4 "Itâs a black day," said Mohammed Sharif, a 20-year-old student from Kabul University. "Saddam was a great holy warrior in the Islamic world and a supporter of Islam."

Wait. I thought he was a devoted secular tyrant who had no connection to Islamic extremism.

#5 Heard an interesting bit of info passed by Arnaud Deborchgrave (sp?) on Fox last night. Guess he has some sat phone connections to Pakistan chieftans in the Afghan border regions. He said that he was told Mullah Omar is dejected and considering surrender to NATO forces - NOT US Forces, doesn't fancy a stay at Gitmo.

#6 Afghanistan will not be free of these ambushes and murder until these NWFP areas are squeezed until they hurt. And that will not happen until Perv puts the squeeze on them. And that I do not see happening in the near future. It is too bad. Maybe his grip on power is just too tenuous to act. It is pretty disguisting. I do not like to treat things symptomatically, especially with the lives of our military personnel on the line.
