Afghan district falls. Should dems surrender now or later?
April 27th, 2007 at 2:52 am . by nukeKABUL, Afghanistan — The Taliban conducted a raid in Afghanistan’s volatile south and took control of a provincial district, killing five people including the district chief and the head of the district police, the deputy governor said Friday.
The Taliban launched the attack Thursday evening on the Giro district of Ghazni province and during an hours-long clash killed the district chief and four policemen, including the district police chief, said provincial deputy governor Kazim Allayer.
Allayer said the Taliban set fire to several buildings in the district and cut communications lines. Deputy police chief Mohammad Zaman said police reinforcements have been sent to the area
Before these developments cause Harry Reid to poop his panties and have to clean up with just one square of TP, he can be comforted by this analysis from UPI:
WASHINGTON, April 25 (UPI) — A new poll of citizens in four Muslim countries reveals a fundamental weakness in the so-called war of ideas, a subset of the U.S. “global war on terrorism” that is aimed at draining support among Muslims for violent extremism.
Muslims already overwhelmingly reject violence against civilians as contrary to Islam. At the same time, they support the stated political goals of the al-Qaida terrorist network and are deeply suspicious of the United States’ intentions in the war on terror.

And that’s a really nice costume to be tired in, too.
Although this one pretty much captured me on my wedding day.

Yep. That’s the only way al qaeda could declare victory, and the Dems are trying to do it for them.
/I know which side they are on.

Hunh!
Don’t have the time to process this report. Somehow, it just don’t seem quite right, but then the guy at the end sort of sets it straight.
“The danger for al Qaeda, of course, is that an extended American presence is actually a huge defeat for them, as has been the case in Afghanistan and is actually in Iraq,” he added. “I’m also quite sure that the one thing al Qaeda would most celebrate as a victory is an American withdrawal from Iraq.”

Well, then, I’m glad that we have that all straightened out. Those people that are getting blown up and shot and beheaded and tortured to death and all, guess it was just some sort of mass delusion because of Islam being all against violence. 
I believe that there article is a good example of cognitive dissonance.
Yikes, wind advisory in effect. Hope nobody flicks a cigarette out the window on a roadside abutting a forest anywhere near me.

I’m glad you specified which poopy-pants Reid you were referring to, as the Reid in the UK has exhibited, what must be, the same defeatist attitude that this Reid does.
Perhaps the muslims in these four countries need to listen to this guy.
