#1 8:0? Well done, Afghani police!

And now even Afghani Army patrols get to call in air support? One almost feels sorry for the Taliban -- they can't win for loosing.

#2 Never hear much about northern Afghanistan.

True, cause a movement rooted in Pashtun interests, Pashtun tribal honor codes, and Pashtun flavored Islamic extremism doesnt have much appeal to the Tajiks, Uzbeks, and Hazara of the north.

OTOH, from what I can gather, some in the north ARE losing confidence in Karzai, but cant really rally around one alternative.
