Noone is going anywhere until Gearge Bush says so

[marvlus]

USA, just say no to conditions.

[lowbridge]

Take these bastards down. To leave them still standing, whether it be in Kabul or in the mountains, would be a big tatical mistake.

[piasa]

Let foreign supporters of bin-Laden go? Not as supporters we won't....kill them all.

[mercy]

Let's see .... I think they tried conditional surrenders back at the beginning of this didn't they? The only condition we will accept is the deliverence of OBL and all terrorist leaders.

others said eight teen-age boys were killed for laughing at Taliban soldiers.

All the world is laughing at Taliban "soldiers." Mostly because they're such abject cowards, and because they shoot teenage boys. I don't know what it is about these jackasses that makes them so loathsome, but I don't think we've ever fought such an unworthy enemy.

[rushtafarian]

The only acceptable condition should be a total laying down of arms, and bin laden's head on a stick, with his entrails dangling for the dogs. That goes for Omar and the rest of the evil pack.

God bless the true patriot.

Witnesses also said at least 100 Taliban soldiers were shot, apparently by gunmen from their own side, as they approached northern alliance lines in an attempt to surrender.

The Taliban were barring people from leaving, telling them, "If you leave the USA will bomb all the city," said a refugee named Dar Zardad. He said he made it out of the city only after Taliban beat him with their rifle butts.

Sounds as if their falling apart GOOD.... a house divided omongst itself will surely fall

"...an opposition commander said the Taliban had offered to give up provided there was a guarantee of safety for foreign fighters loyal to Osama bin Laden."

But these ARE the baddest of the bad guys.

I love this picture - I doubt if the Taliban does!

Hey - maybe they can get bin Laden to pop for some helmets instead of the turbans!

tatical= tactical

Taliban soldiers could be seen running out on the distant ridges, trying to find cover.

you can run but you cannot hide. Where is their bravado, now?

I think the average fighter who was backing the Taliban did not understand our capabilities or our resolve. They didn't have television. Didn't really know the U.S or the military capabilities. They probably thought we were another Russia that would put in troops that they could kill. They didn't expect hell fire from the sky :-)

[LibKill]

To hell with them and their terms. The world will be a brighter cleaner place when they're dead.

I want pictures of these fierce warriors running.

[aquawrench]

Turn up BL and Omar and we may possibly consider accepting some form of surrender. Maybe.

[The Old Hoosier]

Then again, there must be some way of getting a lot of Al Qaeda intelligence out of these guys.

The last time I heard Bush the object was to "bring justice to the evildoers" not to "pacify" them.

The HOLEY MONTH of BOMB-adon. These Muslim terrorists are like cancer cells. No doctor spends any time worring about the "right to life of cancer cells" -- doctors kill cancer cells. Of course, "Islam is a Peaceful Region," right, whose members are boy-buggering, women-hating, religious bigots prone to wage war. Just classic bullies. More bombs -- don't waste time talking sense to cancer cells.
