Others became angry when he started ordering and filming beheadings of 'spies' and kidnapped persons as it gave the Taleban a bad name.

As long as the Talebs can play Ali Ali Oxen Free in Wazoostan, I’m afraid they can fight on.

What a ridiculous title. Are they hoping for a recovery? I would have preferred the title to be something like this:
Taleban on the Ropes! Their end is near!

If it were true that islam is a peaceful religion, and that terrorists were an aberration and a rarity, this might be a blow to the Taliban. But we know, as we see in Iraq, that Islam supplies a virtually unlimited number of new recruits whenever a terrorist is killed. Islam is a terrorist factory.

Can Taliban recover from biggest setback? Only with the cooperation, help, aid and comfort of the US Congress and the overly restrictive rules of engagement of the administration.
To: SuziQ
There must be SOMETHING the Democrats can do to save the Taliban.
