#1 fended off an attempt by about 500 Taliban fighters

More half-trained idiots does not a functional fighting force make.

"The motto of our mission is, 'rebuild if we can, fight if we must,'" he said. "In recent days in Chora, we have fought."

Hurrah for the Dutch! It sounds like that have very useful orders.

#4 No mystery here. Killing civilians is what the Taliban does best. Afghani people need to begin killing the Taliban whenever they show their faces. Nothing will change until then. Not doing so makes them complicit by default. If they do not take an interest in killing those who would destroy their newly-freed country, they have no right to criticize our own actions in putting down this threat to global security.

#10 '"Taliban fighters executed Afghan civilians, including women"

This must be some new, postmodern, definition of the word 'fighter'.

As yet, the West is fighting with one hand behind its back and the other one in its mouth, and all killing of Taliban filth is happening by the fortuitous farting in their general direction. and yet still they die by the bucketload.

However, this is not enough.

This needs to stop. Our soldiers need to kill them by the truckload. Chase them, harry them, follow them over 'borders' and kill them in their beds, their villages, their camps and in their shitters. Kill them. And when you think you've killed enough, think of the women whose throats were cut because they woudn't 'fight' to remain slaves.

And then kill more of them.

#12 Nope. Not news. They were probably collaborators or something.

Only the US and Israel kill unarmed civilians, baby ducks, or fluffy bunnies.
