I was greatly relieved a couple of weeks ago to hear Joe Biden tell us all that the Taliban were not our enemy:rolleyes:
The real enemy was Al Quaeda. So, I was really kind of surprised :eek: that AQ and the Taliban are such good buddies ... fighting together in A'stan, and asking for more fighters from P'stan to help them out.

"For God's sake, forget all your differences and give us fighters to boost the battle against America in Afghanistan," senior Al Qaedacommander Abu Yahya al-Libi told Pakistani fighters at a meeting on Dec. 11, according to a militant who attended.
The Afghan Taliban fighters at the meetings included Zabiullah Mujahid, a well-known spokesman, and Maulvi Sangin, who claims to have custody of U.S. Army Pvt. Bowe R. Bergdahl, captured in Afghanistan in 2009.
So they set up a council to resolve tribal rivalries, (so they could get on with fighting the evil Americans)
A pamphlet handed out in North Waziristan over the past two days announced the formation of the five-member committee, saying it was established in consultation with the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, the name given to the country by the Taliban. It called on Pakistani militants to coordinate with each other and "avoid unwarranted killings and kidnappings for ransom."
"If any holy warrior is found involved in an unjustified murder or crime, he will be answerable to the committee and could face Islamic punishment," said the pamphlet, a copy of which was obtained by the AP.
Maybe RP is right after all ... if we just stay home, they'll kill each other off. They might even realize that it's not Americans that are at the root of their problems, but themselves? Of course, in the process, there would be a lot of collateral damage to innocents & looks like they'd end up setting the whole Mid East on fire.
