Our press may not know it, but the Taliban know they are doomed.

I guess it's a cultural thing, so I should be reluctant to criticize ... but it sure is an odd thing to marry off your family to complete strangers.

Our President knows it's either them our us and he chose them to be the victims. Civilization cannot withstand a band of outlaws with megabucks and weapons of mass destruction.

In a followup article:

YURTYAK, Turkmenistan (Rooters) -- Iben Shall'aa'am,
president of the local PETA of Arabia, announced today
that, following the wholesale liquidation of human bridal
stock in sales to the Taliban, the Society of Nanny Goats
is filing suit for a-a-a-alienation of a-a-a-a-ffection.

The Arabs came at night bringing large numbers of women and suitcases of money

"..."They asked that the people look after their womenfolk and protect them in the war."..."

Dear Taliban Morons,

When we finish with killing you, and the sand-goblins you married your women to, your women will need to shift for themselves.

Fortunately, there will be numerous employment opportunities for them as cocktail waitresses, singers, bartenders and entertainers at the numerous nightspots that pop up like mushrooms around an American garrison.

They'll learn about things, and have experiences and adventures, that would humiliate and enrage you, if you were alive to know about them.

But don’t worry... You won't be.

Now… Don’t despair that this is a blind alley for your genes. Although you will be a dead end, with no stake in the future, your women will have descendants.

They just won’t happen to look a bit like you. (snicker...)

A faceless, fatherless, shotgun wedding. Sweet.

How many times did potential grooms request the trigger be pulled?

Sounds to me that these women are about as ugly as the Hillary. I'd bring bags of money to to get rid of her.

I decided I don't believe this garbage...

The secret weddings took place last week in suburbs and villages around Kandahar and involved Arab women getting married to locals who agreed to look after them in return for large sums of money, The Sunday Telegraph reported today.

"The Arabs came at night bringing large numbers of women and suitcases of money," the newspaper quoted Abdul Razza, a teacher from Kandahar who witnessed some of the negotiations.

"They asked that the people look after their womenfolk and protect them in the war."

Now, if they were asking those guys to take care of their livestock I might be inclined to believe this story, but take care of their womenfolk????? Like they give a rats ass about the women. Sorry...don't buy it.

But the women were paying, instead
of vice versa!
