The Taliban are complete liars. They have said they shot down a US 
helicopter and brought the wheels - which turned out to be all they had. 
They said they captured US solidiers - again bullshit. They claim they 
know where Bin Laden is and don't know. They are completely full of shit. 
When they show a dead baby, how do we not know this came from anti 
aircraft artillery? This exact thing happened in Pearl Harbor. Some of 
the people killed were killed by the US AAA, not the Japanese.

Probably there are even dozens of ACCIDENTAL civilian deaths - just as 
there were when the Taliban and Northern Alliance were fighting during 
past Ramadans. They know how to play the world press like a violin - the 
same thing Saddam Hussein did, and the same thing the North Vietnamese 
did. If we hit a missle depot, they would say we bombed a schoolyard of 
young girls. If we bombed an ammunition depot, they would say we bombed a 
hospital for the elderly. Doesn't everyone remember the "baby food 
factory" incident in Iraq where they were making the bioweapons. Not very 
buildings have hand painted signed in English with a description of the 
activities inside.

In the end, hopefully, the Afgan people will have a fair and 
representative government - one that is of their own choosing - not one 
like the Taliban which was thrust upon them at gun point.
