Re: No. No No
The Taliban are a pheripheral target because their leader wouldn't hand over OBL.
No. They're a main target because they've protected, sponsored, and nurtured him.
How much was who running who is obviously, in some debate.
The Taliban as it stands now, must fall, according to US doctrine. And I don't really disagree with that.
Taliban moderates
I *really* suggest you read up on the Taliban you want to spare.
Of course, your use of "Taliban" is subject to question, but *I* won't get into that contest with you, since there are bigger issues on the table.
Applying black-white rules such as - 'they' are enemy, fu** Ramadan, bad luck mr & mrs collateral, will whip up a sh** load of Muslim reaction that might just be enough to topple Pakistan, Indonesia
Which isn't what *I've* said, and your inability to read that isn't my fault.
But *not* doing what we're there to do because its Ramadan makes *no sense*. Not even from a standpoint that you're taking it. The "moderates" understand the attack. Anybody who doesn't, wouldn't care.
I'll ask you again: How will the US definately benefit - no "mights" or anything, *what* part of the Islamic world would be "impressed" with us not attacking?
And so you're saying its *OK* to bomb as long as its NOT a holiday?
