Taliban Suicide Bomber Kills At Least 30 In Kabul

For the primitives among us.
One can condemning, justly, Bush admin. for Iraq disaster AT SAME TIME as supporting the necessary invasion of Afghanistan.

The biggest problem in Afghanistan is mismanagement by omission: NOT killing enough people.

I think that one and and all Al Qaeda members a must be exterminated and their financial and logistical supporters at least jailed.

Iraq is a different story. We just have to get out of there in an intelligent manner.

Hint:US leaving Viet Nam; UK leaving Palestine or Napoleon leaving Russia in 1813 are NOT good models for withdrawal.

THANK Gaaaaawd!

Glad to see things are going so well in Afghanistan six years after the invasion.

Afghanistan has never been conquered. The Busholini Regime has the hubris to believe that they can change that history. For a real education on this subject, two books are excellent: "Imperial Hubris" & "See No Evil". A local library should have them both.

Where's Bin Lauden ?

Let's be honest and instead of "taliban" lets call them what they are: zealous religious conservatives - like the base of the Republican party.

Thanks to the ever inept Bu$hCo, the taliban is alive and thriving.

Thanks, Georgie, you have done a heckuva job.

...Just a distraction while the CIA helps the Warlords harvest aother record poppy crop to help fund their "Black Ops"!!!

The DEA is making too much money on the "war on drugs" in Afghanistan to care about our soldiers or the Afghan people. Always follow the money. I have a sister in Afghanistan. She is not a big fan of the Taliban... And we would have made more progress in general if we weren't side tracked by Bush/Cheney's big oil adventure in Iraq.

I've read on another site that Karzai has made a deal with the Taliban and agreed to let the Taliban participate in the government. He's signed his own death warrant, not that I care, but just think of all the lives lost in this Bush/Carlyle Group fiasco and how it was all for naught. We will be back at Square One.

Damn. I thought we had the Taliban under control.

bbc reported 10 killed and 24 injured....the pakistani agency announced 10 killed and 27 injured.....

Surrender Monkey Karzai might as well say that he has lost the war because we invaded Iraq.

Then we can blame it all on Bush and Cheney BEFORE they can PASS IT ON to the next admin.

America should have paid more attention
to history.

We are now busy learning lessons the English
and the Soviet Union learned long ago.

There is no "there" in Afghanistan.
You can't fight the air.

You can't land on a fraction.........

Get us the hell out.
That wine steward we put in charge is about
to go wide-stance
with the Taliban,
a tacit admission of our utter
failure.
Game over.
Harvest poppies.
Me love you long time.

But back in 2002 our President said that Taliban were out of business. This headline must be a mistake.

Bush: "Working with a fine coalition, our military went to Afghanistan, destroyed the training camps of Al Qaida, and put the Taliban out of business forever." [11/24/03]

Bush: "Because of American soldiers and our brave allies and friends, who have fought beside them, the Taliban is out of business." [3/15/02]

Bush: "Our first objective in the first theater against the war against terror has been achieved: The Taliban are out of business." [2/4/02]

Bush: "Now thanks to the United States and our fine allies, Afghanistan is no longer a haven for terror, the Taliban is history, and the Afghan people are free." [8/14/03]

Bush: "Today, Afghanistan is a world away from the nightmare of the Taliban." [7/12/04]

So what's worse? A person who kill himself and thirty others for self governance or a man who kills hundreds of thousands and displaces millions for oil?
