Obama is ready to play ball with the Taliban, and meanwhile, the Taliban are continuing to play a game of their own. "Taliban claim Kabul bombing," from AFP, October 9 (thanks to all who sent this in):
THE Taliban have claimed responsibility for a massive suicide car bomb that targeted the Indian embassy in Kabul yesterday, killing 17 people and injuring another 63, most of them civilians.
A statement on the Islamist insurgent group's website said one of its ''martyrs'' had carried out the attack, and the Indian embassy in the heavily fortified central diplomatic area ''was the main target''.
The attack took place just after 8.30am local time on a busy street outside the Interior Ministry. The ministry's spokesman said two police officers and 15 civilians were killed in the blast.
He said 50 civilians were among the wounded, with 13 police officers also injured.
The Taliban statement, as is usual when it claims responsibility for suicide attacks, exaggerated the extent of the damage and the death toll.
The dead, it said, ''included a few high-ranking officials of the embassy, 35 soldiers of foreign and Afghan nationality''.
''The explosion caused damage to the walls of the Indian embassy, which was the main target,'' the statement added....
It is becoming increaingly clear that President Obama is looking for an exit strategy. Or, from the Islamist perspective, President Obama is looking for a fig leaf to hide his capitulation. He has been beaten.
The battle at Camp Keating the other day....wounded soldiers who refused helicopter evacuation and instead chose to continue to fighting alongside their brothers....other soldiers fighting for their lives and yet donating blood to their wounded comrades...

Makes me fucking proud to be an American!
And the government of India dhimmis are reversing years of policy in meekly acquiescing to Obama's diktat. Just a few days ago, the imbecile foreign minister of India suggested a "political solution" in Afghanistan, code for compromising with the Taliban. Just yesterday, his ministry's top bureaucrat suggested engagement with "moderate Taliban"! These are astounding statements coming from representatives of a free nation that is probably the biggest victim of Islamic tyranny over the past 1300 years. Unfortunately, these pseudo liberals are so dense that even this latest bombing by the Talibs is unlikely to wake them up to the gruesome reality of the totalitarian ideology that is Islam.
Retaliate in kind eye for an eye, these thugs only know to fear force.
My salute to these brave men and women who stood their ground to fight to the finish.

I don't think there were women there.
