But don’t forget, the Taliban are now our friends and Bambi wants to bring them “back into the fold.”

If anybody wants to see a truly chilling portrait of this band of extortionist religious fanatic loonies, rent the movie “Osama” from Netflix and see the glories of life under the Taliban. It was the first movie made in Afghanistan after we had liberated large areas from Taliban control.

Thanks for sharing this article Irenic.

Despite the turbine being delivered, as of December 2009, it has not been installed as its installation will require 900 tonnes of cement which cannot be delivered to the dam due to attacks by the Taliban.

“But we can’t move in the large quantity of cement and aggregate that we need in a point of time; we need a sustained effort.”

The Chinese company contracted to install the turbine had left overnight for security reasons and the agency had not been able to find another sub-contractor to do the work, Mr Smith-Screen said.

how many more congressional Republicans
need to lose,
until this stops?

The simple solution - no payment = no power.
