| #5 looks like they were a little more Talibunny than AQ, but very nice snags, nonetheless. Notice too, they didn't die as martyrs, in fact, they never got off a shot. Too important for that Jihadi thing |

| #4 Thank you Mike Ramsey #3. That was a good observation. I missed it. |

| #3 But this is being quoted in an English language paper. If it was for domestic consumption it would be in the Pashto language papers. This appears aimed at us, unless you think the US and UK journalist are actually trying to do a conscientious job as opposed to taking what is being spoon-fed to them. |

| #1 Meanwhile, in a move likely to stoke tensions between Kabul and the West, Afghan president Hamid Karzai has ordered his defence ministry to take control of night raids. He said Afghan troops should carry out the operations as raids by foreigners were often ‘unco-ordinated and arbitrary’ and led to civilian casualties. What is Karzai's game? How long would he last if the US and NATO pulled up stakes and left? Anyways, his defense ministry cannot take control of what they are not informed about. So good luck with that. |
