David Martin reported tonight on The CBS Evening News that the Taliban has offered to begin discussions whereby they would turn over Usama bin Laden if the United States halts the bombing.

Also Dick Cheney will give an "exclusive" interview on 60 Minutes II tonight.

Right on! The grownups are in charge. Take that, liberal media. Watch and learn - this is how it should be done.

[JohnHuang2]

Moreover, under our laws, by haboring OBL, the Taliban were aiding and abetting a known criminal which makes them acomplices.

Can somebody buy these guys a clue?

[Yankee]

TOO LATE. DIE BITCHES!

[Senator Pardek]

Nothing like a few B-52 raids to transform "proud warriors" into the sniveling, filthy animals they truly are.

[Liberals are Evil Socialists!]

Just show us where to bomb.

[ferios ferio]

Wait! Haven't we had this conversation before? Maybe even on several occasions? I get this strange feeling of dealing with people of a second grade mentality...it's kind of pathetic, isn't it???

[oc-flyfish]

What do you really think?

[IowaHawk]

Mmm hmm.

These Taliban guys are so gosh-darned entertaining, it almost seems a shame to turn 'em into camel kibble.

Almost.

Deja vu. Didn't they already try this ruse once, only to have it rejected?

[Tennessean4Bush]

I doubt if he's all that worried at this point.

He just got that fatwah for committing suicide but he is not worried. Give me a break! He is scared you-know-what-less.

[Yankee]

Taliban to George Bush "This is your last chance Infidel.".

Gotta admire the stones on these diaper-heads.

Trying to cut a deal during "The Mother Of All Routs".

[TomGuy]

Almost makes one wish the media had been allowed in...it's laughable...could have been even greater entertainment, for sure--based on the pics I've seen. (Notice I said "almost")

[Yankee]

Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck!

[DoughtyOne]

True on both counts. Hmm, weren't these guys laughing in the streets a few months ago? Well, guess what. The party's over! Payback's a...

[DoughtyOne]

Perhaps that's why they have the diapers. Those stones might fall out.

[Yankee]

I'll bet ole' Binny's issuing fatwahs, and diarrhea as well.

[Yankee]

Bush to Taliban:

Kiss my democratically elected, Presidential ass!

[alloysteel]

Now is not the time to stop kicking of ass. Their noses are not bleeding yet, and Osama bin Laden is nowhere in sight either. We will keep sending in bunker-busters to whatever point that even a weak satellite link is emanating from. The Taliban was never our primary target, they were only the warm bodies we had to go through to get to al-Qaeda. Even Osama was not our only target, just one of many.

[Praxeologue]

The Taliban should have phrased it "let's dialogue". That would get the Western media in gear ... and may be even Clinton. They're just not that smart.
