#2 Is it my imagination, or did I not read within the last 48-72 hours, an article (here at RB) quoting Karzi piss bitchin' that he didn't want US or NATO troops arresting suspected members of the Taliban? IIRC, Karzai was saying that it was not helping for the US and / or NATO troops to arrest or to otherwise take into custody suspected members of the Taliban.

Given how the mind of the muslim works, Karzai will point to this incicdent (his attempted assasination) as proof that HE was correct to chastize US and NATO troops for being overzealous in arresting those who want him dead and a return to life as it was in August, 2001.

#4 #2, Right on Mark. From today's Sunday Observer
citing a NYT article published yesterday: Leave Taliban alone, Afghan president tells West Karzai says US and British troops are undermining his authority and stopping insurgents from laying down their arms Link here. Is this what you had in mind, Hamid?

#5 Since they want 14th century life, let's let 'em have it. Bug out, and then bomb until there are no radio emissions and no light at night except campfires. Anywhere in the stans. If a vehicle moves, blow it up. If anyone tries to fly in or out, shoot 'em down. Rinse and repeat...

#6 This incident will be a talking points bonanza to the Democrats. "Bogged down in Iraq, we are distracted from the 'real war on terror' in Afghanistan." Film at eleven.
