Travelling with the Taleban (BBC embedded with Taliban)
BBC ^ | 10-26-06 | BBC

Posted on 10/26/2006 11:51:23 AM PDT by ikez78

The BBC's David Loyn has had exclusive access to Taleban forces mobilised against the British army in Helmand Province in southern Afghanistan.

There is no army on earth as mobile as the Taleban.

The Taleban say history is on their side

I remember it as their secret weapon when I travelled with them in the mid-1990s, as they swept aside rival mujahideen to take most of the country.

I was going to read the whole article, but the BBC now admits to their bias, and I don't want them to be able to claim more web hits, and thus ad revenue.

Yeah Journalists say they're neutral - uh, huh. This article aside What's with all the massive pro-Taliban articles and news??!? They're getting killed by the hundreds each time we counter them so why all this hysteria about their 'comeback' which is quite absurd. Is this another liberal media campaign right before the elections?

Unless British law begins to move against such traitors, the good citizens of England will rightly conclude they have no choice but to do so themselves....justice in the dark of night.

but..but... I thought the UN was FOR the afghan war, just against the evil, cruel Iraq war cheney, halliburton, and bush foisted on us. Surely the collective might of the whole "civilized" world cannot be at risk of losing in afghanistan! tut tut.

Really? I'm sure that will come as a complete surprise to the 82nd Airborne and 101st Air Assault Divisions, as well as to the Ranger, Marine, and SpecOps communities...

That explains why they are fighting an army from the opposite side of the globe on their own soil, and getting their ass kicked.

The free world has enemies everywhere -- mainly in the media. Time for the world to boycott these "news" outlets.

At least it's refreshing to see a non-American journalist betray his country.

"BBC ALLIED WITH THE TALIBAN AND AL QUAEDA" would be a better headline. How does the British public put up with it? The extremist, Christian-hating, pathologically anti-American, terrorist-enabling BBC receives its money from taxes extorted from hapless UK taxpayers. What suckers!

Traitors deserve death. If I was a relative of some kid blown up or shot while this traitor was recording it all, I know what I would do.

The Taleban disappeared to the mountains after their defeat in 2001, and found it hard to recruit.

Let me sum up the article.

The dress like civilians and but the author gets angry when NATO forces accidentally kill civilians.

They are mobile because they drive around in pickup trucks. That would make every redneck a mobile army too, I guess.

They demand food and housing where ever they go but they are stil the good guys.

The are uneducated getting their only education from islamic madrases.

there is nothing wrong with a BBC reporter embedded with the Taliban that can not be solved by his death.

A sniper will get five notches on his rifle for this guy.

I wonder how many of their own countrymen these BBC "Media" shoot when a firefight breaks out.

Traitors. If the UK still had a government and a king with gonads, all these traitor "journalists" would be facing the gallows in the public square.

I sincerely hope any western reporter who "embeds" himself with our enemies is killed by our forces.
