I'm hearing some 20, 000 people are in the area... so I'm wonderring if we aren't going to see a BREAKOUT attempt by the Taliban so as to high tail it to the Pakistani border????

Hope so. What a turkey shoot that would be!

Two things here - while ethnic cleansing is per se a nasty thing, when applied to a bunch of foreign invaders who were brought into your country by OBL to help supress you I don't really mind.

The other point you raise does indeed baffle me - if there are 20,000 Arabs and Taliban in Kunduz then they should definitely be able to break out. Something doesn't fit here.

Kunduz is wayyy up north, the nearest Paki border is about 140 miles southeast thru Hindu Kush (& a bunch of NA).
If he has to get out, Uzbekistan is some 30 miles north, and they will kill him and his troops on the spot.

Poor Omar, I think the fat lady is clearing her throat.
