I would think that in major cities in Afghanistan, the natives should be stepping up to the plate and providing security. These kind of tactics by the Taliban are designed to keep troops from going out and hunting them down IMHO.
Hey, no problem. All the American blood you need, pal.
after a series of explosions killed dozens of people in the Taliban heartland -- the target of the war's next major offensive by Afghan and international forces. The blasts, which occurred one after another for 25 minutes across Kandahar city Saturday nightThanks Cardhu.
