#2 the Americans had infiltrated their high command,
There have also been some prominent defections recently


Well done, CIA (or whoever you are)! The High Command? That's what we've been complaining ought to have been done long ago... and now we learn it was. How glad I am they never succumbed to the temptation to ease our minds all this time. I wonder what else we don't know about?

#6 I think our psyops people should jump all over this, pointing out the glaringly obvious, that Allan despises the Taliban as a bunch of barbaric (bearded), primitive, vicious animals.

Allan smiles on those who bring peace, prosperity, kindness to women and children, non-religious education, and especially Democracy to others.

Whereas Allan makes those who murder and oppress others in His name to be diseased sodomites who suffer horribly and die, whose names are lost to time and descend to Hell.

Of course, such propaganda should be interwoven carefully with Pushtun superstitions and curses, so that the average Afghan who reads it will snicker and point at the Taliban.

#10 It is now 1:03pm - about 25 minutes after America was sold to Mexico. I am numb watching this. Never in my life did I ever think I would see a sell out like this. No wonder we can't win the WoT or any other challenge when we have such lazy, uninspired, gutless leadership. Whatever respect I had for W, the Republicans for the way they responded to 911, I have now lost completely. I'd like to bring the troops home tomorrow to surround the capitol building and the whitehouse and begin the restoration of constitutional rights we use to enjoy. God Bless America, please!

#15 Taliban spokesmen announced a shift in emphasis to suicide bombings.

Boy howdy, that'll win the old hearts & minds thingy.

#16 Do not give in to despair, Jack is Back! You'll be comforted to know that the Senate voted merely to readdress the immigration bill, not to pass it. link and apparently Republicans, led by Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.), are working to thwart the bill in the House. link
Republicans overwhelmingly defeated a motion offered by Rep. Ray LaHood (R-Ill.) to ditch consideration of the measure. The 83-28 vote to defeat that motion suggests a broad majority of GOP lawmakers will side with Hoekstra. "A growing majority of House Republicans are uncomfortable with the product and process of the Senate immigration bill," Hoekstra said in a statement. "A public hearing has never been held on it, and it was crafted in secret by only 12 senators and two cabinet officials."

#17 I emailed both my quasi-socialist senators from MI. Stabenow emailed me back (actually one of her staff) saying she would not support the immigration bill because it would hurt Michigan jobs and workers aka the union angle. I can deal w/that logic. I was surprised because I thought she'd do the opposite. I guess the unions are raising hell about this bill up there in Motown which is good.
