Well today is time for the red-headed stepchild of the “War on Terror” to shine, for Afghanistan is in the News!  No they didn’t find and then kill Bin Laden, we may have to wait for a Democrat to be in the White House for that to happen and still Republicans will call them weak on defense.

Instead our friendly Afghani’s, backed by British troops, have retaken the town of Musa Qala.  This would be a town that the Taliban had taken control of somewhere around ten months ago and were using it to attack Coalition forces, and force people to practice extreme adherence to the Koran.

While this site is normally suspicious of such good news, this is a check in the win column and can facilitate new gains by the good guys.  Apparently the tribal elders of the town made an agreement with the Taliban, that they would be cool with them, so long as they could be left alone.  With the Taliban breaking that deal, maybe now the hearts and minds that we hear so much about can finally be turned.

It is often the case that you don’t really appreciate what you have till you lose it, so maybe now those village elders will not be so quick to make stupid deals with unconscionable people that take glee in the killing of the name of a “peaceful” God.

What this is also is a seminal moment where we need to galvanize the support of the Coalition forces in order to take advantage of these gains, so that we may be able to truly rid the world of these evil men and their ideology.

The type of evil that we are talking about here knows no quarter and seeks our own destruction, so therefore we need to respect their choices and eradicate them right back.   Then we can turn our attention to other organizations that seek to destroy American values, like the French.

So all you Afghani Taliban wannabes a quote from Andrew W. K.  “Your life is over now, your life is running out.  When your time is at an end, then its time to kill again.  We cut without a knife, we live in black and white.  Your just a parasite, so close your eyes, and Say Goodnight.”
