Why the LOL? Because I read this headline:
Report: Classified US document says Taliban ready to take power in Afghanistan, backed by Pakistan
"A highly-classified U.S. report that said the Taliban, backed by Pakistan, is ready to take control in Afghanistan....."
No s&%t, Sherlock. How many freaking genius government analysts did it take to come up with this gem of "intelligence"?
Good Lord! First. Pakistan has been helping the Taliban since day one! Get a clue! They are ALL islamists. That overrides any "nationality". So, yes, Pakistan has been helping the Taliban, is helping the Taliban and will continue to help the Taliban. There. That analysis cost you nothing.
Second. The Taliban WILL take over immediately after the last NATO troops leave. (By immediately I mean within a few months.) The Afghan people have chosen. They want slavery, misery and horror. Give them what they want. Let the Taliban take over and then wall the damn piece of shit country off from humanity. Might as well wall off the rest of the islamic world while we're at it. That will instantly end 99% of terrorism world-wide.
