BBC's David Loyn embedded with the Taliban

@ 11:58 AM (22 months, 22 days ago)

It was just a few days ago that the BBC acknowledged it's anti-Americanism and left-leaning bias.  Today a BBC article headlining on Drudge report shows just how far gone the BBC really is. A BBC reporter is traveling with and reporting on the Taliban in Afghanistan.  These men, mostly raised in Pakistan and educated in fundamentalist Madrassas describe how they blend in with the local population.

Anyway, read the article and let me know what you think about a BBC reporter taking notes while his countrymen are target practice for his dinnermates.

  1. Yes, it is much better to just pretend they are just faceless ragheads. It is much better to be as ignorant of your foe as possible. That has worked wonders in the past. Anyway, you know as well as I do that the Taliban are the future in Afghanistan. The big moneyed powers gave up long ago. The Brit military is already cutting deals with them for territory in the south, and Pakistan gave them Waziristan. We reap what we sow.

  2. Telling both sides of the story is important, Stephen, I'm not sure how I feel about being embedded with the Taliban, though.

    You can write about prostitution without turning tricks.

    Perhaps when we sowed support to the Mujahadeen?

    (No! I'm not "blaming America"!!! :lol: But we sure do wind up fighting a lot of our 'friends' later on down the road... )

  7. Total bullshit. You have been watching CNN's pro demlib pre election rally too much. With any luck you will be too ill to make it to the polls on election day. You may not know it, but you have been indoctrinated. Maybe someone has CNN on while you sleep.
