Re: This Cheney/Taliban Thing

That's an interesting angle. I heard that twelve hours was
not long enough
to organize the attack, but who knows? I am skeptical of the
idea that they
knew in advance of Cheney's presence. They said he was the
target, but they
could have learned it easily enough. If they knew in
advance, why would they
advertise the fact that someone high up in the Afghan
government is a
traitor? Doesn't make sense, but who knows. Maybe they
figure the PR value
of saying they have informants that far inside is worth
exposing those
people to capture.

It would seem to me that if this attack was as close to
Cheney as it
was at the time it was and announced as it was then there's
only 2
possibilities:

1.) Complete coincidence.
2.) The Taliban are in the Afghan gov't and strong enough to
not care
about revealing their presence and taking a shot, if only
symbolically, at the VP.

If it is #2 it would show me that despite 5 years of war
we've made
little progress: Afghanistan is a Narco-state that is
trending towards
religious extremism both in population and government.
