No use taking prisoners ... they just escape. Or worse, the SCOTUS decides we need to have a trial for them and offer them a motor voter form.

“Hundreds of Taliban fighters have been killed or wounded after two days of fierce fighting...”

I certainly hope they read them their constitutional rights before they killed them. This could be grounds for impeachment.

Kill em all, otherwise we have to read them the Miranda rights and treat them like American Citizens.

Thank you, you 5 SCOTUS SCROTUMS.

But SUSAN RICE, one of Obama’s closest advisors on Morning Joe yesterday warned us that the Taliban were right outside Kandahar ready to take it back and that was because Bush was fighting the war on terror stupidly!

They keep setting them up and we keep knocking them down. The more of these Islamic Jihadist terrorists that die by the hundreds and thousands, in both Afghanistan and Iraq, the better.

But I hear Obama is "disturbed" at the lack of judicial and civil rights these individuals were not afforded. [/sarcas]

The contrast between the two Rice's is remarkable.

One of the problems facing the Talis and alqueda is that the Russians, not learning from VietNam relied on distant firepower, arty and helos, to defeat these guys. maybe they were reading too much Kipling. When we sent Stingers it neutralized the helos.

What they are experiencing now is that our troops, the Brits, Canucks, and even Danes fight by closing on the enemy and defeating him with fire and maneuver and close support. Our guys' faces are the last thing these muzzies see before they are dispatched to their own version of Hell. That is very disconcerting to fighters who've been conditioned to view their enemy as physical cowards who hide behind technology. They are beginning to learn that our tech will find them, but the last thing they'll see is a trooper or Marine sending a 5.56 in their direction.

Well, so much for that big Taliban attack that was expected.
