Meanwhile in Afghanistan... " Taliban attacks U.S. base "

[spanone]

While we play referee in a Civil War that we began with a 'war of choice'....

These are really bad guys. I don't like that "bad result".

GHAZNI, Afghanistan (AP) -- A group of 75 Taliban militants tried to overrun a U.S.-led coalition base in southern Afghanistan on Tuesday, a rare frontal attack that left more than 20 militants dead, the coalition said in a statement.

A purported Taliban spokesman, Qari Yousef Ahmadi, said the meeting between Karzai and Bush had "no result," and that militant prisoners must be released in exchange for the lives of South Korean hostages or there will be a "bad result."
