Very sad.

I hate to say it, but this is more evidence that Afghanistan will eventually end just the way Vietnam ended.

Because once US forces leave, the Taliban will use this technique to win over village after village. No Afghan policeman or mayor will risk his family for the benefit of the corrupt politicians in Kabul. And so once again we'll see helicopters take off from the US embassy roof.

The folly of limited-war and nation-building...

KABUL (BNO NEWS) — Suspected members of the Taliban on Friday hung the 8-year-old son of a local police commander in southern Afghanistan after ordering his father to surrender, according to a news report on Saturday.

The Deutsche Presse-Agentur (DPA) news agency reported that the young boy was kidnapped by militants in the Greshk district of Helmand province on Tuesday. They had ordered his father to surrender to the Taliban or else the boy would be executed.

“The militants had warned his father, who is a local police commander, to surrender with his police vehicle and weapons, otherwise they would kill his son,” provincial governor spokesman Daud Ahmadi told DPA. The boy was hung on Friday.

I was right 10 years ago and I am right now...that miserable festering Islamofacsist rabid wound of a country needs to be glass right now. Satan’s corporate developmental office is there. They will continue to visit much misery on the world....

remind me again why we didn’t simply nuke this place in 2001 and put them out of their misery?

and now we continue to waste capital and lives trying to civilize these barbarians.

enough is enough.

Wow, I didn't realize the Amish had such a strong presence in Afghanistan. It was the Amish, right? Couldn't have been anyone associated with the ReligionOfPeace™...

The same Taliban the US is negotiating with... not a peep from the turd-in-chief... not even a statement the knuckledraggers were being “inappropriate” or “inartful,” or “acting stupidly.”
