Jail Blast Frees Hundreds Of Taliban

Updated:22:34, Friday June 13, 2008 Hundreds of Taliban militants have escaped from a prison in Kandahar, Afghanistan, after a co-ordinated suicide bomb and rocket attack tore through the jail's defences.

Nearly all of an estimated 1,150 prisoners fled when a Taliban suicide bomber blew open the main gate, officials said.

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

"All the prisoners escaped. There is no one left," said Wali Karzai, the brother of President Hamid Karzai and the president of Kandahar's provincial council.

Militants first exploded a water tanker near the entrance to the gate of the prison, then several suicide bombers entered and blew themselves up, he added.

A shopkeeper who sells vegetables near the prison said he saw escaped prisoners run toward pomegranate and grape groves that lie behind it.

Let me get this straight. When a new poster doesn’t agree with you %100 he’s automatially a troll. And when I disagree with you I should shut up.

Got it.

[BykrBayb]

You won’t get it until you learn to read the posts. But thank you for playing.

[smithone]

I read the posts.
You’re a total waste of time and I’m done with you.

[BykrBayb]

Btw, the troll brags about being a liberal. Check the profile page.

[BykrBayb]

If you prefer the company of admitted liberals, then I can see why you wouldn’t want to read any of my posts. You won’t find any of my posts at DU. *hint, hint*

[smithone]

Oh come on, if you think he or I am a troll, hit the abuse button and tattle to the mods. You’re boring me.

Are you taking Anti-depressants? Any medicine? Since you seem to not be able to argue logically me, and your only defense is the tired old abuse of the word troll, I'm quite tired of this. Your thought process is getting completely irrational, and for all your crying and moaning, again I ask you:

What does your pro-life statement have anything to do with the Taliban escaping the jail?

I'll say it again. Abortion should NOT be allowed for everyday birth control. Abortion should be allowed for medical emergencies and rape victims. If that makes me a liberal in your mind, you have the mind of a whack. Get bent, I'm done arguing with a pile of rocks.

Dear 0,

I guess that means you are not acknowledging me in the post just above and are moving on to better things and forums more suited to your proclivities and piles or rocks better suited to your reasoning.

See ya.

Sheesh, back off. There’s no liberal trolling from this poster.

Perhaps you should go back and actually read what was written in post #54:

I'm a moderate Republican with Libertarian leanings. . .
I do spell out my views on my profile. I do not claim to be a conservative.

Last time I checked Free Republic was a CONSERVATIVE forum, not some "I'm not really a conservative, but I agree with you on taxes, guns and the war, but please shut up about my drugs and other liberal lifestyle choices" forum.

[wagglebee]

Abortion should be allowed for medical emergencies and rape victims.

In cases of medical emergencies, procedures are performed to save the life of the mother. Unfortunately, these life-saving efforts sometimes result in the death of the baby. This IS NOT abortion, this is medical treatment of the mother.

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, I was at a wedding last week and the flower girl's father was a rapist. It never once occurred to her family that she deserved to be murdered because her father is subhuman scum. She is a delightful little girl, she has done nothing wrong, why do you think she should be killed?

I'm a troll for following most Republicans philosophy on abortion. I guess in order not to be considered a troll, one has to agree with every conservative view that is presented. To disagree automatically means you are a troll or a liberal.

There's been a lot of that lately on FreeRepublic. It didn't use to be that way. When everyone's opinion has to follow lockstep with some vague philosophy or be considered a traitor to the cause, we become no better than the liberals. (Or the Taliban for that matter.)

[8mmMauser]

I am off to my usual haunts, so meanwhile check out my modified sign.

FreeRepublic is by declaration a pro-life site but maybe this corner is an exception.

I was chided for using a naughty word in my previous post and I stand chastised. So I modified my earlier deleted post to 0 the newbie to remove the offensive letters. I will be careful not to use any references to Shinola either. Here is my new graphic. I will see if I can get Phil to modify it properly so it doesn't offend trolls or any others sensitive. I still find it hard to find anything more abhorrant than killing innocents, but some do.

Some even find pro-life to be a vague philosophy and conservatism an item to parse like a selection at a buffet.

[BykrBayb]

Okay, let's get back on track. This thread is about the taliban, so here's a photo in keeping with that theme. What's better than a flaming liberal?

Flaming taliban

Whether you're clearing a desert, running a prison, or relaxing at home, it's best to have plenty of firepower at your disposal. It works on taliban, and other unwanted guests.

What I find ironic is that if we ever DID implant tracking devices in the captured Tangos, the ACLU/liberal communist front groups/DemComs (redundancy alert) would be all over it; yet, when the subject comes up of implanting biometric identifiers, RFID chips, etc., in real Honest-to-God actual American CITIZENS, well, that’s a different story.

Should show anyone paying attention just who’s side they are really on.

[8mmMauser]

Yuk, I bet that smells. BTW did I ever tell you about the seven mujaheddin we kept in refuge in our house in the eighties? They sure had some stories...

[BykrBayb]

Those must have been some fascinating stories.

In cases of medical emergencies, procedures are performed to save the life of the mother. Unfortunately, these life-saving efforts sometimes result in the death of the baby.

As far as I am concerned, a fetus is still being aborted. Hence Abortion. Sad that I do NOT support abortion as everyday birth control, yet I'm still considered a liberal troll.

This IS NOT abortion, this is medical treatment of the mother.

Bill Clinton said "I did NOT have sexual relations with that woman."

You and Bill Clinton should become friends.

[BykrBayb]

What if we implant them with incendiary devices? I wonder if anyone would object. I wouldn’t.

[NFHale]

Sure cure for terrorists - a .308 (or even an “8mm Mauser” - Ha!) to the head...

Virtually guarantees that they won’t be able to escape from prison EVER again...
