#1 But you can never kill us all off. If you kill one of our famous Lions of Islam™, ten more will sprout where he falls. We are second only to the mighty Islamic republic, the most powerful force in the galaxy.

#5 The good thing about the Taliban officer corps is the opportunity for rapid advancement.

The bad thing about the Taliban officer corps is the high turnover--which is why they have rapid advancement.

#6 "A spring offensive was ordered by the Taliban leadership based in Quetta, Pakistan.." Perv says you aren't there, so no one can hear you.

#7 Remain professional, boys. Now get back out there and give the infidels hell.
Good luck. Love to go with you but I gotta catch a bus back to to Quetta for the early bird special...

#12 I salute our British comrades for fighting so nobly in Afghan land. And a well deserved hat tip to the Danes too, who are pulling far above their weight. And, to the French Special Forces who have (and maybe still are)here, we are grateful for your efforts and support. This is such cheerful news to see that this load of Pashtun scum is being discombobulated day by day by day. Hoorah to all you brave and hardy souls.

#13 C'mon Talibunnies - there's plenty of talent out there. Try Craigslist, handing out leaflets at moonbat get-togethers, ads in the Guardian on al-Jazeera... I'd bet even Markos (Daily Kos) would help out, for a healthy consulting fee.
