[QUOTE=lolwutdude;20245440]I'm telling him in a compelling and a controversial perspective that he shouldn't be so pessimistic. We caught a pretty high up commander, in middle of an important operation, it'll be demorally for the current Taliban fighters.
These asswipe don't climb up the ladder by shooting guns or killing. They climb up the ladder based on how good they speak or how much leadership they can expose. Losing these guys is similar to losing Saint Peter or some shit.
And that is not trolling. My god people, you can't just stamp every fucking thing as trolling. I'm not trying to piss any of you guys off.[/QUOTE]
I sympathize with your comments.
The shit they do makes me want to go over there myself so I can pluck them out of the sand and bash their teeth into the back of their skulls.

Do it
[QUOTE=T2L_Goose;20245617]Do it[/QUOTE]
But he'll die!
Taliban have just stormed the whitehouse, Obama escaped but unfortunately Joe Biden was killed (Or Secretary of Defense Robert Gates if you want to be anal about it)
Now, how would you feel? Well if you're a republican you probably wouldn't care, and actually cheer, but that's because you're an idiot and can't tell the difference between being an American and a Dickhead, same for Democrats as well if the situation were reversed... You'd be angry, you may even be frightened... Hey our capital was hit by these guys and they took out one of our bigwigs like he was nothing...
Sure we have plenty of people to replace them within the same hour, but the effect is still there
The entire war in Afghanistan was started because they came in and hit us and basically just pissed us off, so Hey, right back at them
[QUOTE=Mudbone;20244634]Nothing better on Facepunch.[/QUOTE]
That somehow seems irrelevant... You said, "No one cares!" yet you just said you care because their is nothing else for you to do." I must say from the deepest point of my heart... Wut?
Also, glad to see we got another one of those bastards.
taliban is just a calling.. people join the "cause"
there are groups of taliban all over the place, with their own leaders but their hero is still osama bin laden. that commander being dead won't make much difference at all
Here's what happens with facepunch.
Breaking news!
Guy shoots up everybody from playing too much GTAIV! :911:
Fp users: "I have lost faith in America."

Breaking news!
Top Taliban commander captured by U.S.! :patriot:
Fp users: "Yeah, give 'em hell America!"
These are totally different situations, but make up your mind.
I thought the leader of the Taliban was Muhammed Omar. So, this guy is just a commander, nothing more? Yeah, like the second poster said, a Taliban just got promoted.

Except they had a good reason for attacking us. Namely US intervention in the Middle East all through the 90s.
Had we just left the Middle East alone none of this would have happened.
They don't just attack people for no reason.
[QUOTE=Umi-hebi;20244483]On the other hand, someone in the Taliban just got promoted[/QUOTE]
i love you for this post
except the taliban didn't attack us

"This guy turned out to be some random hobo. The guy we're looking for is the number two political figure in the Taliban"
They took a number two
hahahaha
[QUOTE=T2L_Goose;20244697]No what
Really what the fuck are you trying to say?
That this IS a big deal?
It's not. You really don't think that they have a guy ready to take Jihad Joe #5193's place?
This will not change anything. They aren't a structured military, it's a group of poorly trained people with guns that use guerrilla tactics and roadside bombs to attack their enemy.
Big fucking deal that one of their TOP COMMANDERS has been captured. Someone will just take his place.

We've killed guys like this before. It never changes a thing.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=JDK721;20244613]If you don't care then why the fuck are you posting?[/QUOTE]
If you don't post, then why the fuck are you caring?
To be fair this is like the eighth time we've captured or killed the Taliban "Number Two"
Whatever a "Number Two" is in a borderline anarchist extremist group is, that's beyond me.
The taliban are anarchists? what?
Borderline anarchist as in there is no definitive structure or chain of command.
there's a definitive structure. the nationalists with money run things
Clearly not very definitive when the second in command can be replaced just about every week.
[editline]05:42PM[/editline]
Maybe if you call "a huge line of cannon fodder" a structure.
how's that not definitive? all that means is there's another person with money to replace him
what is it with you and money
suddenly the taliban is capitalist
is that a joke
what do you think they run on? allah?

that's not what I'm talking about. you're acting surprised the organization runs on money, and those who come from wealthy backgrounds have more power as they can offer more to the taliban then, say, a nationalist afghani peasant
[QUOTE=Shoe Phone;20244861]The point is to demoralize the enemy and encourage the troops. If Osama Bin Laden isn't already dead he sure as hell will be digging his rabbit hole cave a bit deeper into the ground when he hears this.[/QUOTE]
Not really, this is the Taliban.
