#1 As I pointed out yesterday, if the Taliban were to return to power democratically, their Islamic creeds would not allow them to hold any more elections.

The only diplomatic exchange we need with the Taliban is one of bullets.

#2 Er, no need to exchange bullets with the Taliban, they can catch 'em all.

Is he someone's father?

Oh, Mike : I found this phot of a mysterious candidate for the chairmanship of the Pinellas Co., Democrat Central Committee. Perhaps this explains your comment.

#5 The Taliban have refused the proposal of Hamid Karzai and have said that they will not allow the election process to continue under current situation.

So what does Karzai think of the wisdom now of approaching those Taliban throwbacks with this "proposal" in the first place? If Karzai's smart, he'll learn from this experience.

#7 He's held out the hand of friendship, and the Taliban have bitten it. Now he can proceed to whack and stack to his heart's content, knowing he's done "everything possible" to achieve things peacefully. Let the killings begin.

Available at all corner shops, PAYG, Worldwide. Someone has to pay, so take out the money. Take them out on a Monday morning in the office annonymously, even during Ramadan annonymously.

#9 True enough, Steve, but unfortunately they have that funny little tendency to shoot back at our boys; apparently letting yourself be shot by US Marines without defending yourself isn't Islamic or somesuch. Although I do think you're right; they'll end up catching a lot more of them than we will.
