Stardate 20011116.1133 (On Screen): Mullah Omar has agreed to evacuate Kandahar, and move his remaining forces into the hills. That leaves only Kunduz in the north in Taliban hands, and that's hardly an asset. (A trap is more like it; the Taliban forces there are doomed.) That means we are indeed moving into the next phase of the war, where they will go to ground and try to fight a guerrilla action. This is
a good thing -- for us.
(discuss)By the way, anyone notice that Ambassador Zaeef fell off the radar screen about Monday? There were rumors that the Taliban embassy in Pakistan had decamped and fled; I wonder if it's true, and if so I wonder where he went.
