One shouldn't abandon ones children...guilty as hell Id say.

[Howlin]

The Security Council is meeting tomorrow. Somebody should tell them to keep their noses out of this.

[GeronL]

we should tell the UN people in Kabul...

"No rush guys, really.." lol

[habs4ever]

They also need to get those 6 aid workers released ASAP.

[undergroundwarrior]

Fu.. the U.N.

We must make dog meat out of the Taliban and all of Allah's butchers.

This must become America's Jihad.

[GeronL]

Maybe their next target will be the UN complex?

I think they will. They are scared to death, and that is why they are leaving. They know all about this terrorism, and they know where the bombs are going to fall.

Maybe their next target will be the UN complex?

That was one of the things I thought of too.

[onyx]

So, shall we conclude that the UN knows what President Bush plans to do?

[rockfish59]

i hope this means what i think it does. are they fueling up the B-52's and stealth's?

[Kerensky]

Taliban slammed by Russia for naming Bin Laden as Commander in Chief

[timestax]

BUMP!

[Travis McGee]

Yeah, "no rush, make yourselves comfy over by the power plant"! LOL!

I like my idea best: let's just cut Afganistan off from the civilized world for a generation or two.

Destroy the power plants, transmission lines, POL dumps, pipelines, train and car bridges and tunnels and the airports.

Make it impossible for these insane cultists to get out to the world to do any more harm.

No more car trips to Peshwar, no more connecting flights to the USA.Cut them off so thoroughly that a jeep can't get out, and a strong hiker only with great difficulty in about a month of walking over mountains. Use Afganistan's geography against them. Reduce them to a 12th century standard of living.

Then tell Libya, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan etc "this is our new policy for dealing with nations which harbor terrorists".

[Lion's Cub]

I don't know who these "international aid organizations" are, but the UN workers are just as guilty as the Taliban. We had no warning. They should have none.

[cartoonistx]

I have a better idea....let them all eat plutonium!

[truth_seeker]

Unlike Desert Storm, we don't need a coalition. This was a direct attack on the US, on our soil. We ought to feel free to GO ANYWHERE, with or without the help of local governments.

We should demand that each suspected nation turn over ALL terrorists, immediately. Failure will be deemed to be continuing to harbor them, and to be an act of war.

Likewise, notify NATO that we, a member nation, have been ATTACKED, which WE DEMAND them to come to our cause, with full military participation. Pretty wells get nations sorted out, as far as which of the only two possible sides they wish to be on.

[Texas_Jarhead]

LOL... I second that. Heck I'd even pay for an extra nights hotel bill.

Don't really nuke them yet, but a flight of B-52's dropping fuel air bombs (each one equivalent to a tactical nuke without the radiation) would send the message.
