The Taliban also admitted that the Americans had infiltrated their high command... Remember that funeral we didn't bomb? My guess is that some of our operatives were in attendance, gathering intelligence.

The liberal argument is that we should redploy from Iraq to Afghanistan because we ignored it and let the Taliban re-constitute itself.

Once they achieved power, the Taliban quickly demonstrated that they did not have a clue when it came to running a country.This statement is true of a lot of "movements". The key example is the Palestinian "movement." The reason the peace talks fell apart was that Arafat realized that he didn't have the foggiest idea of how to govern. If he couldn't continue the struggle then he knew he would lose power. That has continued under the remains of Fatah and now with Hamas.

Very possible. The decision not to bomb took a lot of flak, but I believe there was a very good reason for not taking them out at the time. That could have been why.

A completely clueless sophomoric story.
The Taliban is and has been a secondary player.
The enemy is Islam not the Talibaners.
Until
1. the Saudi funding of worldwide jihad collapses
AND
2. the West realizes the infiltration of islam provides aid and assistance to those pledged to destroy us
The war will continue. Has it ever really stopped in the past 1300+ years? I think not.

The taliban has never been a terrorist organisation. They just went around killing people for the fun of it.

***The Taliban has never been a terrorist organization. They began as a paramilitary operation fifteen years ago, when they were recruited from refugee camps in Pakistan.***
That’s what they are in the Middle East. Freedom fighters
Over here, in the real world, they’re a terrorist organization.
I heard the surge isn’t working, Harry Reid said so.

I just read in the MSM the other day that the Taliban were resurgent. This report can’t be true.

I hope that is the case, and I hope I will remember it next time I get angry with an apparent failure to act. It’s hard to do when there have been so many times I wrongly assumed the Bush administration had strategic reasons for actions/non-actions I faulted it for.

Anyone who is curious about what it's like to live under the Taliban in Afghanistan should see

What you said is the damn truth.
These ‘battles’ against the Taliban or Saddam or Al Qaeda even are non-events in the coming war against all 1.2 billion of them.

The Taliban should just wait a bit longer. The Democrats will likely help them snatch victory from defeat.

One such movement is Communism, represented in this country by the Democrat Party.
