#2 See also DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > ICOS REPORT: TALIBAN CONTROL 72% OF AFGHANISTAN.

Which inversely means Kabul directly or nominally controls only 28% of the country.

Looks like the Taliban have studied the 1975 fall of Saigon???

#5 My kind of man, that General Dostum. A muslim who enjoys a pint or stiff drink, women, guns, B-52 bombers, and horses.
