| ANP says Dir cleared of Taliban, Taliban fleeing after shaving beards |
| 2009-05-12 |
| ISLAMABAD: Awami National Party's Information Secretary Senator Zahid Khan claimed on Monday that security forces operating in upper and lower Dir districts had flushed out or killed almost all Taliban militants. "Oh, yeah, sure. They're all dead." However, he said, the forces were still facing stiff resistance in Mingora although most of the government buildings in the Swat town had been cleared of militants. Talking to newsmen outside the parliament house, he said the provincial government had done its home work for rebuilding and rehabilitating government and private buildings destroyed in the war and it would need at least Rs80 to Rs90 billion for the job. Mr Khan said he had been informed that the Taliban were on the run in Dir and a number of them had been seen fleeing after shaving off their beards. He expressed the hope that the military operation would end sooner than expected because local people were now coming out in support of the troops fighting foreign elements and forcing them out of their areas. Answering a question about the problem of transport faced by the fleeing people, the ANP leader said the government had allowed the vehicles on which customs duty had not been paid to carry stranded people. Such vehicles are not allowed to ply on roads in areas other than Malakand. He said the NWFP government would soon start reconstruction work and payment of compensation to the heir of innocent people killed by the militants. |

| #11 If they did have any outbreak of lice... how could anyone tell? |

| #10 this makes no sense, they are fleeing or killed most but are meeting heavy resistance? Is it true that lice usually infest clean ppls hair? Because i have always wondered how they didn't have one hell of an outbreak |

| #6 eLarson: The same way they staunch other bleeding, with animal dung. When you die of infection, it just means that you didn't pray hard enough. |

| #5 A5089, quite naturally they will transform the shame and Humiliation to a towering righteous Wrath. And somehow it will come back to those damn dirty Juice. |

| #3 Mr Khan said he had been informed that the Taliban were on the run in Dir and a number of them had been seen fleeing after shaving off their beards. Don't know if that's true or hype from KHAAAAAAANNNN, but if true, that's really funny. Hey, imitaing The Prophet™ in each and every possible way is a biggie in the whole salafi/djihadist/whahabi/whatever playbook, how he slept, what he ate for breakfast, what he thought, what he dood, how he crapped,... donw to the very lenght of his Manly (henne-dyed) Beard™... that is, until you are fearing for dear life, and are running away in abject fear, because, to borrow a famous quote, you aren't so tough, after all... then, it is ok to shave the beard you had other men grow under bodily threats. Oh, boy, they must feel so violated. It's so wrong, it's funny. I wonder if they would have converted to judaism, should it have helped them flee better? Possibly! |

| #2 if the past is any guide, the Taliban will be back in a few months and in greater numbers like the Sand People, they are easily startled |
