Generally the Taliban have shown themselves to be a rational organization who wants the best for Afghanistan and understands the importance of negotiation and diplomacy as a means to a better country for everyone. I'm surprised they resorted to violence to express their displeasure with something.
That's the problem with organizations whose sole purpose is to better the lives of a certain group (large or small) of people- you have sects within that may not agree with the current method and choose to act outside the bounds of the parent organization, for one reason or another. Taking in to consideration the origins of this group, I'm certain that when you import a large number of these folks back in to the fold, you invariably bring in some bad apples who may choose to act under their original assumed name, namely as agents who have no desire to see the new organization's goals come to fruition.
Of course. There's nothing funny about the way you guys constantly misunderstand the religion of peace and its ardent followers.
Use a goddamn smilie next time fucker so people know you are being sarcastic. If I have to doing any modding (outside just being a power hungry asshole) because of this I'm going to mail you an entire ANA platoon's turds after curry thursday at the DFAC.

Or how about just this one:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowe_Bergdahl
Hey look, it's working, peace is breaking out EVERYWHERE in Afghanistan! Can't you hear it? Oh wait, that's the sound of gunfire. a gunbattle was still raging nearly four hours later...."Still there may be one or two inside the building, but we are not sure, "This shows the ability of the Afghan forces, that they are leading the operation. ... You know what that above bit reminded me of? The "cocaine is a hell of a drug" Dave Chappelle skit.
At least you guys have taught them the art of the "not authorised to speak to the media" type of leaker though.
