Al Qaeda is defeated.
British believing Insurgent Info War.
Eating the wrong News feed.
Calls for General Sir David Richards (chief of the UK defence staff) resignation. "Can't defeat al Qaeda" statement. http://goo.gl/news/XMig
Time to resign Sir, giving succor to the enemy.
Al Qaeda is defeated.
Were not talking Taliban here.
What left? Rag tag cadre, volunteers, and misfits
imported from ME countries, ex milta men sent
to supervise field troops?
And a dozen number 3 men over the past
5 years, they all retire early.
One PETN bomb maker,
and a loose association of wana bees.
And some virtual terrorist in the "cloud".
Look how long it took al Qaeda to take
credit for the attempted printer bombing.
Al Qaeda had no idea what was going on.
Just some wana bees in independent action.
Binny is scared to death to raise his head,
he doesn't even make vids.
If that is really him on the audio tapes.
Binny has been MIA for 5 years.
al qaeda is NOT indigenous to Afpak.Current stage is a mop up operation.
British military needs to quit eating
insurgent info war feeds.
He needs to resign.
Any body remember Chamberlain?
The head of the British military
is believing the Insurgents Info War
feeds.
SAD.
Garbage in:
Garbage out.

Ariana Afghan Airlines is ready when you are, Flight FG 402 from Dubai to Kandahar leaves every Saturday morning, USD 180.00 Economy class. That's the easy part. You'll need an entrance visa before you go. You'll need somebody to pick you up & drive you in to Kandahar City. You'll need a place to stay.
If you intend on surviving the experience you'll need a fixer/expediter/personal security detail.
You'll need to learn Pashto to talk to the people. Some speak Urdu, some Dari. Watch out for the English-speakers. Young terps are less likely to rip you off & sell you out.
The only Taliban prisoners you are ever likely to get a chance to talk to are those you bribe the ANP to talk to, and they don't keep big fish locked up long. The big fish are in Bagram. Much more expensive to bribe your way in there.
I guarantee that if you "Anthropologically suck the brains of Taliban, get the flavor first hand. Get into their heads, swim in their paradigm," when you get back, IF you get back, you'll give anything for brain bleach.
Thanks so much,Cannoneer if I hit the lotto,
I'll do that, wana come along?
Otherwise maybe a embed,
