ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Nov 10, 2001 (United Press International via COMTEX) -- In a sudden breakthrough that may open Afghanistan to convoys of humanitarian supplies and provide a staging area for accelerated air attacks, opposition forces occupied the northern city of Marav-e-Sharif, both sides confirmed Saturday. The radio station formerly held by the Taliban heralded the turn of events, while Taliban spokesmen called the operation a strategic withdrawal.

In a sudden breakthrough that may open Afghanistan to convoys of humanitarian supplies and provide a staging area for accelerated air attacks, opposition forces occupied the northern city of Marav-e-Sharif, both sides confirmed Saturday.

But I thought it was the United States who wanted to starve the Afghan people, while the Talibunnies put People over Profit every time?

I think we are being set up. The Taliban want us (our ground forces and a semi-permanent base) in Afghanistan.

[Clinton's a rapist]

No, they're just a bunch of opportunist carpetbaggers whose luck has run out, that's all.

Taliban spokesmen called the operation a strategic withdrawal.

This means that they're running as fast as they can, doesn't it?
