SittinYonder, if that's how you see it and see it still, then you need to change your lens prescription!
This whole interview and article was & is designed to elicit sympathy for the "indigenous freedom fighter insurgents" /sarcasm over the "US occupation forces". And then to complete the propoganda, the heroic Ismail even attempted to convince a wounded U.S. Navy Seal to "surrender" before he supposedly blew a helicopter out of the sky. It is complete BullShiite, and the news reporter & NBC mgmt & staff should be shot & hung for treason. How you can profess admiration for this piece of crap is beyond me. All we need to view or be cognizant of in order to know our enemy is to view the beheaded bodies in Iraq and even the beheaded Christian schoolgirls in Indonesia. Let's see when the left-wing/pro-terrorist/anti-American mass media does an interview and article on those atrocities instead of trying to portray TERRORISTS ....again I say TERRORISTS as indigineous freedom fighters. This whole interview was a crock of left-wing BullShiite!
Pawdoggie hit the nail on the head when he said this article was about "Taliban is back with a vengence message, and it very much was U.S military and Bush bashing!" Absolutely the case! Don't give and credence or kudos to the left-wing/pro-terrorist/anti-American hysterical media!
I think he meant to give credence to exposure of the truth to the public, regardless to their motive.
