| #3 All this shjt over there keeps making me think of the old days of capture the flag, or the new days of paint-ball. Much sound and fury (and blood) signifying nothing. |

| #1 1. Holding it is another matter. 2. And speaking of holding, the Talibs likely took Kunduz more as a "look what we can do" move. The question is whether it was intended for: a. The world audience as a display of Talib prowess, b. Other jihad organizations, for the same reason, c. The Afghan government as a display of Pakistani retribution, d. Internal consumption for the division-ridden Taliban. |
