More to follow. This isn't going to be good. Many foreign (U.S. and U.K.) journalists stay at this hotel.

Well, I guess those US and UK journo-lists have just learned there is NOT in fact a “religion of peace”.

1 of the suicide attackers detonated his suicide vest on the 2nd floor. Everyone is running away, a guest inside the hotel tells BBC.

Take all US personnel out of Afghan right now.

Drop a low-yield tactical nuke somewhere on a Taliban training camp.

Let them know that if they make any more trouble, there will be more and bigger ones next time.

So I take it “reaching out” out to the Taliban is working?

I can promise you that they have learned no such thing.

These are pie-eyed, bed-wetting, drooling Leftists. They are more committed to their multi-culti alternate universe than they are to their own lives or even to the lives of their families.

Thanks for the link.

This looks like it could be a Mumbai style attack.

The type we saw back in 2008.

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said several fighters from the Islamist group had attacked the hotel, where Afghan and Western officials were supposedly holding security talks.

How ironic.

Nope. Those leftist twits will blame it all on us because we do not embrace the muslim culture and do not understand them.

Karzai and the Pakistanis will blame it on the US military. We are too mean to the Taliban and Al Queida murderers.

Hey, wasn’t Obama negotiating with these guys? What? Did he think they’d just let him slink out of town?

My best friend’s husband is done with his tour of duty over there at the end of this week. I hope he stays safe.

Absolute Charlie Foxtrot. Yes, Bambi is lying down with the Taliban but it seems he is not allowing for sufficient diversity and a disgruntled faction(s) were left out of the talks and is/are making noises. This was the most heavily guarded bastion in Kabul. “Safe” as far as possible. At least 6 suicide bombers came in with a variety of disguises, police uniforms and military garb with proper ID cards. Went to multiple floors, pulled foreigners out of their rooms and killed them. Some blew themselves up in crowded lobby, body parts and carrion all over the place. Yuck. Coming to a hotel or shopping mall near you...

Dude.

We're talking Obama.

He loves when Muslims kill innocents.
