Stardate 20011010.0501 (On Screen): The Taliban claim that their air defenses are still intact. If that's so, then they should prove it by clearing their skies. It turns out that what they're claiming is that their anti-aircraft artillery still exists -- which is true. But that's only because it wasn't necessary to destroy it. The Taliban itself claims that US jets flying in daytime are flying high enough to be out of range of their AAA. He claims that this is some sort of victory for the Taliban. It's hardly that.
In fact, this entire press conference was ludicrous. Nearly everything Ambassador Zaeef says is a lie -- and he knows it. (discuss)
