#1 With new communication networks in Afghanistan, there is no good reason why Taliban activities are not passed on to NATO command. So why the complicity? Pashtos are using the GWOT as a cover to continue the drug trade, and Karzai - a Pashto - is impeding NATO efforts at fighting the trade. This madness is giving the Euros yet another reason to attack the GWOT.

Non-Pashto Afghans are somewhat supportive of the occupation; Pashtos are not. They supported the Taliban when it was in power; they support Taliban operations. We are giving them aid and comfort by allowing UN support of refugee parasitism in Pakistan (the source of terror) and withholding opium eradication in Pashto areas. This is a catastrophic error. We are effectively subsidizing terror and fueling Euro-leftism.

#2 10-4 McZoid. Not only that but we are pussy-footing the 5th column stuff - I mean the way the media is played like a big bass fiddle by the Taliban and our other enemies. If only Capt. Bowman would step up to the mike in every briefing and say instead that:

"The insugents, knowing how gullible and willing the world press is to publish anything anti-american, anti-bush and pro-Islam, continue to follow their pattern of falsely reporting civilian casualties".

But who the hell would report that?
