Taliban destroying their own buildings to blame US?

I guess when your getting your @ss handed to you, you do what you gotta do!

 

I've never understood how these kinds of things leak. I mean, how many people really need to know about this outside of Mr. I-Rule-The-Taliban, Mr. Taliban-Military-Advisor, and Mr. Taliban-Special-Operative?

It might have worked pretty well in terms of popular support in Muslim countries, had they been smart enough to pull it off. Fortunately for us, our enemy isn't too bright!

 

I wonder if they would stoop to killing their own "citizens?"

 

You'd be surprised what people do.....well not really anymore.

 

My guess is that Pakistani intelligence operations is more effective than some of us at first believed.

Remember when Pakistan was annoyed that the US revealed the full extent of its cooperation, because it feared such revelations might jeopardize its secret service? Well, I'm guessing that they're still out there in Afghanistan.

It's almost certainly not our own guys, since the CIA publicly admitted that it had goofed by not maintaining enough indigineous contacts. Could be a ruse... but some people have been warning about that for years, so probably not.

I just wonder how much we've offered Pakistan. Their help is giong to turn out to be invaluable.

 

pakistan should know...they did kind of help create the taliban.

 

its a bit hard to believe.
the taliban is pretty much on their own. so its not like they're trying to get sympathy from other nations. and quite frankly no one's gonna pay them any.
and judging by their huge ego (from their official's statements) they're not the type.
i'll just believe since the bomb drops, it blows.

 

you guys remember saddam hussein did the same thing during the gulf war except he slaughtered his own people inside first to provide bloodier images. a relatively new addition to warfare, I suppose -- public relations!! how sad
