#4 Cheez Frank, no need to goad us :-)

I say younger Talibs. I say the terrorists huddled in the madrassah there in the camp and gathered the young'ins close as human shields.

#5 my "huh?" was re: the double comment. Not sure how I did that.

I'll pull an "Anthony Weiner" and just say my comment was hacked. Wanna see a pic?

#8 Karzai, as usual, has his panties in a wad over this. According to ABC News he wants coalition forces to "clear the operations with his forces". He says "uncoordinated operations will result in the killing of innocent civilians." Hmmmmm. But is he really worried about "innocent civilians" or does he want to warn the Talibunnies when an attack is coming?
