On one hand I am happy that things appear to be going so well that the Taliban has to evacuate all the cities. On the other hand, I can't help having a nagging feeling that the Taliban might be up to something.

I figured out what they're up to.

One of them bought a post hole digger and they're all heading into one of the caves to start digging a tunnel to the U.S.

They're gonna try and invade us but it may take them a few decades.

...the Taliban are up to something.

I'm with you. Hopefully, we both are wrong. However, I wouldn't put it past a cornered dog to do something incredibly evil--especially if it means taking out Allied soldiers as well as all of those Afghans who were wildly celebrating the departure of the Taliban. An outfit like Al Q'eda (sp?) wouldn't think twice about ruining Afghanistan's environment with a dirty bomb. What does it care? The real fanatics are made up of Arabs, Chechens and Pakis who are heading into the "free areas" of Pakistan to await something. I don't like the feel of it. It's not like fanatics to give up so quickly and retreat, no matter how superior our airpower and NA troops appear to be. It's too easy.

Agree. Perhaps they are still fighting the last war and are expecting to do better fighting in the mountains. They haven't exhibited much strategy thus far, but this seems too easy.

Maybe, but then again, if they don't control the cities, what keeps them in power?

I agree. This is not something that would normally be announced.

The high and mighty, great potentate, grand mucky muck, Mullah Omar has made a prediction that he and his Islamic brothers will destroy the United States, and, soon.

Mmmmmmmmmmm . . . I was a teeny-bopper then, but I remember the same sort of trash-talk from a fella by the name of Nikita Kruschev back in the late '50s ("We will bury you"!) It scared the came-crap out of me at the time. But a hitch in the US Army taught me that we are the most powerful country in the entire world.

Have faith in your God, family, country, and the men and women in our armed forces . . . we will prevail!

He is. He's up to losing.

I Agree. They're up to something, and anticipating our response to whatever they have planned before they even carry it out. These people are too crazy to be running scared or giving up this easy.

I agree, but what they are up to is saving their sorry a$$es. The non talibans Afghans will kill them when they find them. No court or counsel needed.
