The Taliban - you have to love them. Scurrying around the desert with their gargantuan beards, berkas, turbans, linen get-ups and all accessorized with a classic AK-47 assault rifle. You know these cats, they are the ultra fundamentalist hard core sharia law abiding citizens of Afghanistan.
So 6 of these Taliban dudes get this bright idea that with a ladder, their AK's and a little balls (they are still allowed in moderation under sharia law) they can retaliate against Pakistan for the death of Bin Laden by taking over one of their military bases.
And for 17 hours, they did.
Now, reports have been quoted as saying these 4 Taliban dudes are toasting martinis and smoking opium with Bin Laden and the virgins. Even if the reports that they have met their demise are true, what does that say about Pakistan and their substandard military?
It tells me that any NFL team, yup even the Bengals, could go over and whip some Pakistani ass. Consider the numbers - a 53 man roster of highly trained, in shape and pissed off men (kickers notwithstanding) could EASILY take over a military outpost. Even without offensive holding. Even with their scrub practice squads.
To further that point, any defensive back worth his weight in sand could outrun those extra smart Pakistani footsoldiers. I'm guessing this could happen even if the Pakistani's had Jeeps. They have to be the worst group of "soldiers" ever assembled in or out of modern times.
I would take even money on a WNBA team being able to pull it off. Shit, who is going to argue with a 7 foot, pissed off woman. Especially if she has more facial hair than her adversary?
The middle east is a mess and I find humor in the fact that Pakistan has put the US military on notice for running a covert op in their shitty little sandbox without letting them know. All the while they again get infiltrated by a group of dudes who can't even watch porn and are made to look like the stupid uptight jerk-offs they are.
Now I wonder, is that a reflection on Pakistan or us?
