#3 ...This assumes that the Taliban - memorably described by Newsweek as 'a cross between the SS and the Marx Brothers' - ever had any courage in the first place. For those idiots, 'cowardly' would ahve been a step up.

#6 "And you mother gives birth to pigs and dogs!"

(There's more to this than meets the eye: Calling your opponent a lily-livered coward is fightin' words. The Talibs either come out swinging (and get cut down when weather conditions allow us maximal maneuverability), or they stay in their holes and lose traction with their constituency.)
