The Alliance said 95 Taliban soldiers were killed in fighting for the city, with an estimated 10,000 either fled or captured. According to one source, 28 Alliance soldiers died in Friday's attack.
Let's hope this is all for real and not just propaganda. Sorry for being pessimistic, I sure hope the news are valid, but 95 / 28 dead doesn't sound like a rout, and we may be looking at a fairly orderly retreat by the Taliban instead. Hope it ain't so...

Taliban forces across northern Afghanistan appeared to be in headlong rout after the dramatic fall of the key city of Mazar-e-Sharif to the Northern Alliance forces supported by US bombers and Special Forces. Didn't this exact same rag publish a story two days ago saying that the American bombing campaign was a complete failure?

But there is anxiety too. Washington and London fear that the collapse of the Taliban could be so widespread that the Alliance could walk into Kabul, triggering a massive wave of refugees and a political crisis for a country with no clear idea of what will replace Taliban rule. Yes. We've pretty much cleaned their clock. Now, Think about the above. Street gangs in chaos? If you believe in a Constitutional Republic; how is it going to formed? Whom will particpate in writing it? The United Nations? This is what Bush and Powell have been alluding to for weeks. Think!

Taliban forces across northern Afghanistan appeared to be in headlong rout... ... How can this be? Just last week these weasels from the newspapers were telling us that the Taliban are the World's Toughest Guys, raised from childhood to be merciless warriors. Why, each one could kill ten Americans with his bare hands, and then bite the head off a snake, just for fun. And now they're unraveling like a cheap suit?
Here lies the Taliban. They're no fun, they fell right over. |
