File under: Taliban

#1 Is it just me or does it seem that the Taliban is pulling in everyone including the waterboy for their latest attacks? I mean, other than suicide bombings of civilians, nothing seems to be working out for the Taliban. This summer must have really chewed up any trained personnel that the Taliban had left.

#2 Methinks we're well inside their training cycle, Shieldwolf. I remember reading here that the current crop of Talib madrassah boys are kitted up on the bus as they head toward the border, and shown how to use the equipment once they've been shoved across the border. So that matches your read on the situation. It probably won't change until Iran sends some experts to take over, like they're doing in Iraq.
