Stardate 20011124.0648 (On Screen): In Kunduz: "They're going to surrender!" "No, they'e going to fight to the death." "There are surrender talks going on!" "But they're also attacking." It's been very confusing watching the reports coming out of Kunduz, which currently holds the last remaining concentration of Taliban forces in northern Afghanistan. I think I'm beginning to understand what's going on in there: Taliban command has broken down. The confusing reports are coming from different factions inside Kunduz, who are themselves arguing about what should be done.
What I think is going to actually happen is that a large number of the Taliban soldiers in Kunduz will surrender (possibly even most of them) but that a hard core will refuse to do so and the Northern Alliance will be forced to go in after them. (discuss)
