The Taliban launched a massive attack in Kabul, Afghanistan today.
Iran’s Press TV reported on the brazen attack:
(Make sure you watch the last 5 seconds)
At least nine people have been killed and 38 others wounded during clashes between Afghan security forces and Taliban militants in Kabul. Officials said on Monday that Taliban militants attacked several buildings, including the central bank in the capital city of Kabul.
Of course, last week in the Massachusetts debate Marcia Martha Coakley announced that the Taliban fighters were gone from Afghanistan:
Martha Coakley from last week’s debate:
“I think we have done what we are going to be able to do in Afghanistan. I think that we should plan an exit strategy. Yes. I’m not sure there is a way to succeed. If the goal was and the mission in Afghanistan was to go in because we believed that the Taliban was giving harbor to terrorists. We supported that. I supported that. They’re gone. They’re not there anymore.”

I thought the ONES genius plans for Afghanistan was to protect the cities, where were our troops? “Marcia” sure doesn’t think there are any Taliban in country, it’s now obvious that the ONE doesn’t ethier.

Jim – You need to learn not to link to enemy sites. Press TV is a media site of the Iranian regime. There are plenty of reliable reports on this attack that do not link to the scurrilous Press TV.

No matter what happens tomorrow, it’s good. If Scott loses, Americans across the country will be furious and recommitted to voting the bums out. If Scott wins, Americans across the country will feel invigorated and committed to voting the bums out.
Scott’s like Sarah. He’s not going away. They are the future of helping to reset the country to the Founding Fathers Default Mode.

The look on Brown’s face when she made that statement about the Taliban is priceless.
He seems to be asking, “Does this woman live in an alternate universe?”
Wrong on the facts, wrong on the issues. Who picked her as a candidate, Newt Gingrich?
Ted Snedeker commented:
That attack was not by the Taliban, who are no longer there. It must have been launched by pickup driving yankee fans!
Carbon Monoxide commented:
I hope this doen’t become the Tet offensive moment for the Afghanistan war.
hope commented:
Scott’s face was doing the same thing as mine when I heard Coakley state that. Except I was screaming at the televison…”WHAT!? WHAT? in the H*ll is she talking about?
I’m going to have to watch the view Wednesday morning to watch all but Elizabeth Hasslebecks heads explode. This should be great. These dimwits have no idea why so many Mass residents are voting for Brown. They have just placed oh so many reasons on a platter for the Picking. They just don’t get it.
max wyeth commented:
Early reports from WSJ said the Taliban announced that there were 20 guys, an email from an associate in Kabul says it was more like 2 platoons of Taliban. Of course Coakley is clueless, but we need to get alot more troops on the ground, alot more intel, and drop the ROE stat !

She is so stupid that she must be an Obama-voter.

“If the goal was and the mission in Afghanistan was to go in because we believed that the Taliban was giving harbor to terrorists.”
Okay, that isn’t even a proper sentence, but who does this woman think the Taliban are – Rock Stars? The Taliban are terrorists.
