This article is talking about the enforcement of the Sharia law and Islamic government in Afghanistan, and and to remove foreign forces remove from the Taliban country. Im not really sure what is going on in this arquement but Im sure that it prob isnt right.
they main topic of the discusion is is for the taliban to seperate from the al Queda.
i think that there is only one solution to this problem the taliban is giving us and that is to get rid of the leaders and to teach the followers that what they are doing is wrong and illegall in all ways. even some civilians have said that what the taliban is doing is not the islams prophet mohammed ways or [laws].
The Talibans believe that they will win the war against the United States no matter what we bring over or what new methods we try. They say they are going to win.
The Taliban wants to seperate from the Al Queda also. I dont know what that means but I think that the Taliban are a little too proud of their army.
1)"The man in front of me is Zabiullah Mujahid -- one of two spokesmen for the Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar.
He is around 30, maybe a little younger, bearded, but not heavily so. He is slight but not weak and close to my height -- a little over six foot -- and meeting him is a big deal.I've never taken meetings with Taliban officials lightly, but the stakes are getting higher these days. They kidnap reporters and worse, and just before our interview they had announced a new offensive against U.S. and NATO troops."\
2)i think that it is bad thing and that it should not be a big thing.
The tailban said they will win the war. They are stupid.
I think they need to go to college and learn that they suck at war!!
1.) the taliban said they would win the war if it was started.
2.) i think that the taliban needs to die and the US needs to join the war bomb the taliban.
1) this article was about a reporter who got in with an important taliban offcial and got a rare interveiw.
2) i think the guy was pretty brave in going into that room by himself with that killer. its a good thing he did though, we learned some valuble information.
The taliban are coming up with outraciuos comments. They feel that they will win the war.
"He tells me presidential elections expected this year are a sham, that the Taliban are telling Afghans to stay away and he warns: "We will target the Afghan parliamentary members and government officials so if there is elections, yes it is clear we will target them."
"He says they'll use suicide bombers in their attacks. I want to know how they justify tactics that kill so many civilians. I find his answer falls far short of even trying to explain let alone apologize for the carnage they cause. He says it is justified in Islam, it has its roots in history and Islam's Prophet Mohammed," says CNN.com
I feel they are very strict to their people, and they should be severely punished.
the cnn guy went in to talk to a taliban spokesman and he was really scared. the taliban was talking about a prophecy and how they will win over Al Qaeda. it was a small building and they couldnt say where it was. i believe that i wouldnt ever go down to a place like that.
1.) THe article talks about a reporter who has an interview with one of the Afghan Taliban spokesman in a secret place. The reporter is really nervous about his opportunity to talk to the guy and it seems like the spokesman kind of enjoyed it, too, because instead of a 15 mins conversation they changed it to 45!
2.) I think it is weird, that the Taliban relly think, that the people of Afghanistan really support them. They want to be the control of the country and live their radical muslim believes!?? I think thats stupid and they say that the people support them but if their are votings for the government, they want to work with suicide bombs??! Ya,..right!
A cnn reporter talks to an Afghan spokesman. They takl about the taliban and Al Qaeda.
1.) This article is an interview of a spokesman for the leaders of the Taliban. They asked him about their strategy, he said its to remove foreign forces from their country. They've tried being reasonable with them but are getting no where it seems like. Zabiullah Mujahid, the man being interview says, "We believe by both ... by negotiation and also by war ... we ask them to leave the country we are ready to talk ... so they are not ready to leave so they want to talk by the mouth of the gun we will talk by the mouth of the gun".
2.) My guess is that they break out into a giant battle. I'm not sure who will win though, the Taliban are some scary brother truckers...Hopefully they can talk it out and there won't be any violent actions taking place.
1. He does not take any meetings with the Taliban lightly e siad and i wouldnt either, because it is very serious.
2. I think we just need to be smart about every single move we make and not slack off at all.
the Article is about the Taliban leaving Al Queda. I think we should just stay out of it. Tell the countries to grow up.
It talks about islamic and sharia law enforcement. It also speaks about how the Talibans want foreign forces to get out of Afghanistan and pakistan. I think the whol;e thing is a mess.
"He tells me presidential elections expected this year are a sham, that the Taliban are telling Afghans to stay away and he warns: "We will target the Afghan parliamentary members and government officials so if there is elections, yes it is clear we will target them."
"He says they'll use suicide bombers in their attacks. I want to know how they justify tactics that kill so many civilians. I find his answer falls far short of even trying to explain let alone apologize for the carnage they cause. He says it is justified in Islam, it has its roots in history and Islam's Prophet Mohammed," says CNN.com
I feel that we should try harder to understand thier culture and work with them and not be so quick to judge them.
