WASHINGTON – Afghanistan's Taliban terrorists are training monkeys to shoot American soldiers with automatic weapons, according to British and Chinese media agencies.

In the Taliban stronghold of Waziristan, journalists took pictures of some "monkey soldiers" holding AK-47s and Bren light machine guns.

The official People's Daily in China explained the emergence of "monkey soldiers" as just another facet of "asymmetrical warfare."

"The United States launched the war in Afghanistan using the world's most advanced weapons, such as highly-intelligent robots to detect bombs on roadsides and unmanned aerial vehicles to attack major Taliban targets," said the report. "In response, the Taliban forces have tried any possible means and figured out a method to train monkeys as 'replacement killers'" against American troops.

The Behavioral Scientist pioneer, B.F. Skinner worked on a pigeon controlled guided missile during WWII.

IIRC, this is how that worked. The pigeons were trainned to peck at likely military targets. Then the pigeons were placed in the missile with a screen to view. As the pigeon pecked at the likely target, it provided guidance inputs to vector motors. This was never actually deployed. I’m not sure there ever was even a working prototype, but they did work on it.

I don’t see the difference between the two. Which is human and which is monkey?

Hey muzzies, it’s GUERILLA warfare, not gorilla warfare.

Can’t they get anything right?

The story is being covered by many other sources, from New York magazine to People's Daily (English Version).

While they possibly are all being played for propaganda or a hoax, the report - with photos - is worthy of posting. And the humour is a huge bonus.

In related news, the Allies in Afghanistan have begun leaving banana-shaped booby traps in known taliban areas.

Large numbers of explosions have already been reported.

I hope GIs train goats to give the Taliban syphilis.
