Sleeping and Supporting the Enemy

The BBC was able to get a reporter inside running with the Taliban. Now, if this were 1944, the organizations were run by people who were more interested in doing the right thing than in presenting a bloody story. They would give their info to the government and the Taliban would be wiped out ASAP. However, this is the modern age, when we must do all we can to show how sensitive we are, so we can appear to be in favor of the wittle guy, even if that wittle guy maims and kills, and wants to kill our fellow western citizens. The BBC is disgraceful and it promotes the Taliban and talks about how effective they are:

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.

Piled into the back of open Toyota trucks, their vehicle of choice, and carrying no possessions other than their weapons, they can move nimbly.

The bare arid landscape of northern Helmand suits them well.

After one hair-raising race across the desert last week, patrolling the large area where they can move at will, they screamed to a stop at a river bank.

Yes, let's just promote and talk about how unbeatable and unable to be found the Taliban are.

Before praying, they washed in a dank-looking pool at the side of the almost-dry river bed.

Afghanistan has been in the grip of a severe drought for several years, but the lack of clean water does not seem to concern these hardy men.

They don't care about clean water because they never had it. They are dirty scum who want to take a country back to the 7th century. They are not survivalists, they are no more than scum who just want to be back in power.

We rose up and saved almost the whole country from the evils of corruption and corrupt commanders... that's why people are supporting the Taleban again now

Mohammed Anif
Taleban spokesman

Well, no Mohammed, they are supporting you again because you have the guns and you are threatening them again the same way you did when you were in power.

But, love the BBC, they will undermine their own country and the whole course of NATO just so they can appear to be tolerant, just so they can get their cute story.
