KABUL, Afghanistan — A suicide bomber struck a funeral in Afghanistan for the victims of an earlier Taliban attack, killing 16 people and wounding 39, an Afghan official said.

The attack took place in eastern Laghman province, according to the local governor's spokesman, Sarhadi Zwak. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the bombing but the blame is likely to fall on the Taliban who have staged similar attacks in the past.

The White House has assured the world that the Taliban are not terrorists. They are a “political movement” according to Obama. Seems that Churchill was right. Delusions are dangerous.

And liberals have said, as my tagline emphasizes, “World Peace 1.20.09.” The enemy within.

At some point, honest and reasonable folks, are going to say “Enough!” to Islam. But I doubt it will be in my lifetime..

Too bad they didn’t have better bombs like those Obama has been giving to the Syrian terrorists.

It's not hard to figure out the Taliban's motivation for these killings. They ae fundamenal Muslims

Zwak, the provincial spokesman, said police investigations chief Khlil Nyazi was among the 16 killed at the funeral,

The funeral goers were sympathizers for Infidel collaboraors who had been killed.

Late Wednesday, Taliban insurgents in the central Ghazni province attacked a checkpoint in Andar district, killing 11 members of a pro-government militia that was manning the post and wounding six.

Pro Govt. Militia are Infidel collaboraors who should be fighting against the Infidel and not supporting them. - Tom

Just Freedom Fighters . . .

Much like Sam Adams and other American Patriots, circa 1775.

I hate this regime.

The new term is “activists”.

The atrocities of the Einsatzgruppen in Russia are now “activism”.
