Stardate 20011002.2056 (On Screen): What we have here is "failure to communicate." The Taliban once again are calling for negotiations and evidence of bin Laden's guilt. Are we having translation problems here? Does the Taliban need a new set of interpreters? What part of "no negotiations" do they not understand? Someone needs to explain to them the difference between a "request" and a "demand".
"We prefer the negotiations than the war. The negotiations are the way of solving our problems." No doubt. Negotiations would be a way of stalling; I can definitely see why they'd prefer that to war. Unfortunately, it's no longer a choice. The clock is ticking, and it's possible they've only got a few hours left. (discuss)
Update 20011003: While we're at it, someone needs to explain to the Taliban what an ultimatum is.
