Internet Anthropologist Think Tank: Taliban leadership loosing control.

The two talibans.
This is number 2, in Afghan.

Picking his nose.

Taliban leadership loosing control.

The new young Taliban are punks, no respect for
the chain of command or white beards.

They are brutal, greedy and corrupted.
They often disregard letters of authority
and orders.

Often governed by greed rather than
religion. In some cases they have
become a threat to some of the Taliban
senior leadership.

The Taliban punks have grown used
to the authority of the Ak47 and they
themselves are disrupting Command and
Control ( C2 ).

They have lost belief in the old leadership
and are suffering very heavy losses.
They are defying the old Guard and
throwing Taliban strategies into chaos.

The young punks in their 20's live and
die by their own wits, and have little
respect for Taliban leaders hiding
in comfort in Pakistan.

Insubordination and disobedience of
orders is common place.

Moral is very low and paranoia is
at new psychotic levels.

The Taliban are historically known
for having no honor even among
themselves. Selling each other
out if the price is right, under the
proper circumstances/excuses.

The competition between Taliban
groups has lead to in fighting and many
casualties. However the number of IED's
has risen to 1,000 for April, 50% increase
from last year, Iranian IED's.

Many of the new punk commanders
are in their 20's thanks to the new
accuracy and lethality of US weapons.

Promotions in the field are fast and furious.
Often leaving the most brutal and
disrespectful in charge.
They don't believe in power sharing,
and want real fighting head to head
with the 100,000 American troops.

"the insurgents have lost 50 commanders
and subcommanders in his home province
of Ghazni alone"

Taliban leader:
"This is not a fight over territory but for our
existence and survival,"

These young Taliban punks have
decimated centuries-old system of tribal rule.
Turning much of the civilian population against
them. While raising the terror and fear level in
every village.

Many of the punks remember after the defeat
of the Taliban in Afghan the crime lords taking
over and blame the Americans, and were victims
and abused, and now have become the abusers.
The Taliban in Afghan are fighting for survival.
