This prison break was planned before the US Supreme Court announced that it was going to reach out and free all terrorists everywhere.

There shouldn’t be anymore need for prison breaks.

Wait until they figure out that biochips have been injected into their buttocks and we are secretly tracking them via satellites.

This is seriously bad news. However, your conclusion is also seriously bad news, and unfortunately true.

This prison break was planned before the US Supreme Court announced that it was going to reach out and free all terrorists everywhere.

There shouldn’t be anymore need for prison breaks.

***Eyewitnesses reported that the fighters fired several rockets at various parts of the mud-built prison.***

There’s one of the problems.

Its time to go back to the mid 20th century custom of immediately hanging guerillas.

Good thing it wasn’t done in 1776.

Prison break. Let’s assume that they are armed and dangerous now, and should be shot on site.

So where does a mob of 1,150 escapees go in Kandahar?

Now’s probably a good time to get out of afghanistan, stop nationbuilding, and leave this third world pit to rot. IMO.

Perhaps, but I believe you’re overly pessimistic. We’re struggling against the tide of this inhumane idiocy, that’s for sure. But what happenned here indicates how desperate the Taliban is - in other words, they are losing!

What we should do is realize our work in Europe and Japan was completed long ago and it is high time we left. Those socialist nations will never get the notion to finance a proactive military as long as someone else is willing to pay for their defense. They can do without our hovering presence.

In the BBC report it says:

Ahmadi, the Taliban spokesman, said militants had been planning the assault for the last two month, "to release our Taliban friends." "Today we succeeded," he said. The escaped prisoners "are safe in town and they are going to their homes."

There was also reports of heavy gunfire in the background, and 5 British paratroopers killed in that area this week.
