#1 Same old, same old. Every spring, the press likes to trumpet the next Retreat From Kabul, and by fall the minority of Taliban still alive high tail back to Pakistan.

#2 How could you tell the difference between the level of attacks from the 'good old days' of common banditry? Its not like Afghanistan's history is one of peace and prosperity.

#3 They haven't quite figured out how to blame Bush for what happened in the centuries before he was born. But stay tuned... it will probably involve Space Aliens, wormholes, time travel and Halliburton...

#4 This could have a major economic impact on U.S. economy!!!

This morning, from a cave in north central Pakistan....
near Pastungettih, the Taliban Minister of Migration,
Mohammed Sharref Omar, warned the United States
that if military action against Iraq continues, Taliban
authorities will cut off America's supply of
convenience store managers.

If this action does not yield sufficient results, cab drivers will be
next......to be followed by motel operators.

IT'S GONNA GET UGLY FOLKS!!!
