| Suspected Taliban fighters attacked a government office near the Pakistani border, police said Sunday, killing three militants, hours after the U.S. military announced a new drive to crush insurgents and track down Osama bin Laden.
The attack Saturday evening in southern Kandahar province sparked a gunbattle that also left one Afghan soldier dead and two soldiers wounded, Kandahar deputy police chief Gen. Salim Khan said. ...At least 160 people have been killed in violence so far this year, highlighting the insecurity still plaguing the country more than two years after U.S.-led forces ousted the Taliban for harboring bin Laden. |
That's worded kind of strangely. It makes it seem like the Taliban were intending to kill militants, which I thought were the Taliban.
Anyway, two years later and we're still at war. Now what was it that made the warlusters think we'd be in and out of Iraq, "mission accomplished", in two months?
