The Taliban have carried out a co-ordinated attack on the Afghan parliament in the capital, Kabul, where heavy fighting is still going on.
Attackers detonated a huge car bomb outside the building, before racing into parliament itself, reports say.
Police are evacuating the premises, while trying to fight off the attackers.

Sounds like Biden’s friends are coming home to roost.
Off to bed, but here is the Twitter live feed for “Kabul”.

Muslims killing muslims..... OH well..
Exactly. Nation building with 6th Century trash is a waste of time.
Well. It looks like Obama’s Aghanistanization is working out quite well for him. [that “ization” thing goes back quite a few decades].
Ring the middle east with a fence. Guard the fence. Kill anything coming near the fence on either side.
It’s that simple.
Thanks Obama ! /sarc
Billions of dollars spent on Afghani infrastructure, blown up. Think what could’ve been if that money had been spent on US infrastructure.
I suspect the results would have been about the same, as that money would have filled the pockets of political supporters.
Wonder if this is the signal for something bigger like the killing of the rebel leader right before the 9/11 attack.
Democrats and their allies in the MSM are going full bore trying to blame right wing radio/news/blogs for inspiring terrorist acts.
Almost exactly the same thing the dems/news media did prior to the 2010 attempted car bomb in NYC which they then tried to blame on the TEA Party.
Something even simpler, and historically proven effective: colonialism.
Looking around, the muslims in America are practicing it on us, and the muslims in Europe are practicing it over there.
Alas, colonialism goes hand in hand with supremacy, whether racial or cultural, and we have moved beyond that. We have moved beyond killing or even standing our ground against colonists in our midst; which is why history will move beyond us.
I thought that The Messiah had put the Taliban out of business. I know that it a fact because he said so.
Holy crap.
Another Obama foreign policy disaster strikes again!!!! The MSM will not report his failures. But the rest of the world knows. The stupid American public does not give a rat’s hip pockets. As long as those free cell phones, free cheese and milk products, free worthless money, NBA games and NFL games are on TV every week, 93 MILLION not working yet they report 5.5% unemployment, hey!!! everything is great!!! Obama is the man. The world is fine. We are fine. Yea!!!!
Huh. My tagline in action. Who’d ‘a’ thunk it?
Cultures can only be overcome by superior cultures, but “superiority” includes ALL metrics, not just the hallmarks of Western Civilization. Furthermore, the state of development of a given SOCIETY’S infrastructure is no measure of the strength of their CULTURE. British society and American society enjoy roughly equal infrastructure, but British culture is being more rapidly subsumed by outside cultural influences; it is clearly a weaker culture. And how so? British culture has more readily than American culture deserted the value of standing up for itself; with militancy if necessary.
It is one thing to abdicate the role of preserving one’s social aspect; one’s outward projection of one’s self. To abdicate the role of preserving one’s cultural aspect — that aspect that fairly defines who and what one is — constitutes a total surrender to whatever external force is seeking to impose a redefinition. British culture, and — to an even greater extent — other European cultures, are in that process of self-capitulation as we speak. It should be a horror to the world to see it happening, but I think too few grasp the gravity what they are actually seeing; they will “get it” only in retrospect. And — boy — will they ever get it!
I’m afraid it wouldn’t just been wasted on another light rail system to nowhere.
The government forces are not “trying to fight off the attackers”.
They are going to kill them if possible, and talk “strongly” to any survivors. Gonna make waterboarding look like a day in a kiddy pool. GOOD!
