Taliban Offer Conditional Surrender

Why are they worried about the foreign soldiers? After all, I thought they would be in a better place with 72 virgins.

[Parmy]

Do any of you know what is done to a dog that is mad? You kill it. Also, the pups because you can't afford to have that blood in the bloodline.

[MamaTexan]

"If you leave the USA will bomb all the city,"

Translation:
"If all the civilians leave, we become a military target".

Kiss your (Tali) bums goodbye!

[Lessismore]

In the pictures of Taliban, it doesn't appear that they are wearing uniforms. Wouldn't any foreigner who is not wearing a uniform be subject to summary execution as a foreign spy?

[justlurking]

If you want to surrender, put down your guns, put up your hands, and walk across the battle line.

If you are afraid you will be shot in the back by someone, shoot them first.

No conditions. You want to give up, each and every one of you have to do it on your own.

[LUVYA DUBYA 2000]

Nope, I want them all dead

Seems like they want to sacrifice the poor guys the country belongs to while letting Ben's flea infested, sorry bunch of camel Jockeys ride off into the sunset. How BRAVE of these punks. Kill em all and get on with the show!

[Cultural Jihad]

The Taliban said they would surrender if the alliance guaranteed that non-Afghans fighting alongside them would not be killed and if the surrender were witnessed by United Nations representatives.

We should send over the American peaceniks to act as witnesses to the surrender. Let them walk in between the two warring factions and show them their selfless surrendering of their own lives in exchange for peace. They can bring daisies to place in the muzzles of all the Kalashnikovs. It oughta be a new leftist tradition in martyrdom and Islam-like surrender. Many will end up shot or enslaved. Their selfless sacrifices will lift the spirits of the evildoers, and inspire them to a greater civilized state. We will call this the Second Children's Crusade.

[Faraday]

The questions to answer are: How much do you lose by proceeding with the seige, in terms of NA forces and civilian losses? Does bad publicity from rejecting the offer make other tasks more difficult? FWIW, my answer: No conditions. And get the presstitutes the hell out of there!

[zbogwan2]

Don't grant these barbarian bast*rds any quarter at all. Wipe them out completely, just like they did the innocents in the WTC.

None of these terrorists and their supporters should be left standing to fight another day.

[AmericanVictory]

We have a feeling some of the commanders will be offered to the U.S. for trial in exchange for cash and other consideration.

[Yup!!]

The HOLEY MONTH of BOMB-adon

OMG------too funny!!!!

[Sen Jack S. Fogbound]

ABSOLUTELY NO QUARTERS!!!

[Roebucks]

I say no to all offers. No prisoners. Send a message to those watching our resolve and our response. Mess with us and you die. Period. Kill em all.

[RummyChick]

We should send over the American peaceniks to act as witnesses to the surrender.

Excellent Idea. In fact, I think those that have been attending the peacenik rallies should suggest that very thing and volunteer to make the plane reservations :-)

[Ruth A.]

The Christian part of me says: We are fighting in memory of our God, our famillies and our counry. We should not end this battle early if doing so leaves us at risk.

Unconditional surrender. Put down your weapons, take an oath to never attack the US or other allied countries again. If that is unpalatable, then continue fighting.

We will not give an inch to terrorism.

[Gracey]

All excellent points... and you're right. These Taliban's have already made their decision ... to eliminate the USA, Israel and any and all capitalist systems. :-)

[nothingnew]

In the words of T.E. Lawrence..."TAKE NO PRISONERS!!!"...

[exnavy]

Maybe we could send the Rev. Jessee Jaxson over to "rescue" the talisband!

[Harrison Bergeron]

Doesn't the U.S. have a standing policy of Not negotiating with terrorists?

Just say no.

[oioiman]

How 'bout dimes or nickles?
