Allah's virgins will be disappointed.....

And Saddam Hussein is complying with the conditions of his surrender....same old liars.....as for theUN I didn't know they were involved in this fight other than giving US the go ahead?

[kingh99]

methinks chains are a pullin'.

They can leave when our bombs stop dropping.

Our bombs will stop dropping when they leave.

Aint trapped logic grand.

For a people who talked big, they are certainly turning out to be nothing but noise.

Reminds me of SoDamn Insane.

"OOH! War crimes tribunals! I'm sure those Northern Alliance soldiers are shaking in their boots at the prospect of being held in contempt by some U.N. backed "World Court". "

I thought President Bush got the permission of Pakistan to set up a military tribunal to prosecute these guys. A military Tribunal is a heckofalot worse than a UN war cime tribunal.

With people who like to make big noises, it's most likely there just farting.

The last time I looked the U.N. was not a party to this war-- I think this sets a VERY bad precedent. I'm concerned. There is certainly no doubt that a large proportion of states in the U.N. and on the U.N. Security Council are active sponsors of terrorism. This is not good.

You guys are desperately floundering around trying to drum up some bad news, eh?

Just go away and molder in your misery at a tremendous military achievement by the U.S.

30,000 Taliban fighters

30,000?

Perhaps the person reporting these numbers uses the same counting techniques as the New York Times does, when it counts, say, "anti-war protestors" in Union Square. 500 protestors gets blown up to 10,000.

In other words, it could be as few as 1,500.

It's a theory.

[jerod]

Flase report - they're going to get what they deserve.

[DinkyDau]

This is all a ploy. The Taliban now plan to regroup and destroy Satan Americans from their real, real stronghold.

[pointsal]

castrate them, then toast all of them

The Al Qaeda foreigners need to die in battle.

The NA seems to try to weed them out.

Afghans can tell who they are by just looking at them.

[John O]

That is not necessarily good news. The Al Qaeda foreigners need to die in battle. Every last one of them.

Or die in captivity. I'm not picky

God Save America (Please)

The surrender will be carried out under the supervision of the UN.

A UN victory is a defeat for the United States.

If the headline is correct...think on the positive side. Approximatly 2.1 million virgins got a pass.

[norton]

Foreign 'fighters' with Taliban should be dealt with as mercenaries - I don't think they count under rules of war.

Particularly those cought wearing civilian clothes - outside of Geneva protection.

Finally, at least when I was in, the US had not signed the Geneva convention and no one was planning on digging out the parchment to do so.....but we agreed to abide by it as a reasonable set of groundrules.

In my opinion,the groundrules have changed!

[dvan]

The surrender should be under control of the Northern Alliance!!!!

[HAL9000]

30,000 Taliban fighters surrender unconditionally

The accuracy of this report is doubtful - especially the headline.

[culpeper]

I hope they execute them in a humane way. hahaha
