#2 The Taliban redemption program should be closed down promptly. There is no redemption for these thugs, they are scum.

#3 The fine art of Taquija requires the use of careful phrasology on the part of the speaker: The point is to fool the infidel into believing and acting on an untruth as if it was true (getting the speaker and this cause off the hook), while making sure that your fellows are NOT fooled into believing and acting on that same untruth (and thus acting as if the speaker were selling out and has betrayed the Faith).

âThe government is talking to them through tribal chiefs and we are demanding Khalilzad use his influence and propose to the American military not to detain or harass those Taliban who plan to stop fighting the government,â Wafa said.

He's not serious: if he was, the bold portion would say "...those Talaban who lay down their arms and return home.". They can still fight while PLANNING to surrender, but if we bite, it would be a violation for us to attack them while THEY WERE PLANNING to surrender, even though we were responding to their attacks WHILE they were PLANNING to surrender. Think the Iranians and Uranium: They continue on while the Euros argue we shouldn't act WHILE the Iranians are negotiating with them.

This is the BIG HOLE in the heads of the ilLiberals and the left in general: Talk is regarded as EQUAL to action and sincerity. To them, the most horrible words ever spoken by an American President were by Reagan (PBUH) "Deeds, not words."

#4 Ptah - Mebbe you'd like to talk to ZF about this. My take on this story yesterday was almost precisely the same as yours, but ZF disagreed... ;-)
