Interesting comment. But once again arent you contradicting yourself?
Waging a guerilla war for more than a decade doesnt teach one squat, when one is taliban. The only thing they learn is to do that again and again. Thats what they have been doing and thats what they will keep on doing till they are banished to the netherworld!
Almost all the daily reports of taliban attacks indicate that victims are innocent civilians and those people who the taliban apparently considers "sympathizers" or "informants" of either NATO or the Pak army.
What exactly are you implying here? "the hand that sustains you"? Another interesting statement, Blain2. DO you mean to implicate that civilians are supporting the Taliban or are you implying that the Govt or some institutions are implicit in their support for the taliban?
What a way the taliban have chosen to win hearts and minds of people by selective targeting civilians!! Is that what is defined as "public welfare work"? Awesome!
As to the source, I am not sure about the credibility, I found it and so posted it for y'alls perusal. Btw, I wouldnt be surprised at the idiocy of taliban "supreme council" by issuing such a statement.
