Did you forget the /sarc, or was your comment so obviously meant to be ironic, that you felt no /sarc tag was needed, and I am simply undercaffeinated and too dense yet to see the irony?

All I meant was that it's entirely possible that the Taliban had infiltrated the Afghan army with sleeper agents. They're awakening now, for murder/suicide missions. The Taliban know how the western MSM works — reporting these incidents as if they somehow represented the popular will amongst Afghans. (They might — but, I doubt it.) If my conjecture is correct, this is a masterful propaganda move. Even if it's just individual Afghan soldiers, acting on their own, it doesn't prove they represent popular opinion.
