ah ha...this is what happens when you post a important headline with no snarky shots at the Admins/Mods.

More like how to go from a prisoner to the target of a few 1000lb bombs.

 
Norad [TotalFark] 2008-06-13 10:06:01 PM  
As much as that sucks, you gotta give grudging admiration for such a well thought-out plan of attack.

That freed the Whole. Damn. Prison.

I'd imagine the materials weren't of the highest quality and they probably didn't have heat sensors or motion detectors or anything else good..probably a rock wall or something...

 
HansensDisease [TotalFark] 2008-06-13 10:13:37 PM  
Unpossible!

Our intervention in Afghanistan left it a strong and stable democracy! Otherwise we'd have 200 thousand troops there or something.

It's still one of 3 Muslim democratic countries in the world. I still think it's funny how most people have decided that Muslims can't have a democracy in their home countries.

That's interesting. Who was it that elected all those Afghan warlords, exactly?

I don't think the guy blowing the back wall was a suicide bomber, just a really inept sapper.

I mean, I can understand ramming a guard gate with a suicide bomb truck, you know, get 'em before they can react. But a wall?

"Ok, Kesheem, you gotta blast a hole through that wall. But you gotta do it before the wall notices what you're doing, or it's all over."

So then he valiantly charged a wall and blew up?

I prefer that they at least have a H.S. diploma, but solid work experience will suffice.

Couldn't you just drive the truck towards the wall, and then jump out?

It seems like this infatuation with blowing yourself up may not be a good long term strategy.

Well, that settles it. We're gonna need a bigger boat.

Maybe we should airlift a palate stacked with 100 dollar bills to take care of miscellaneous expenses. Just in case.

Yes. Just not the one actually posted I see now. The one I read was on Yahoo. It's my homepage, read it there first.

The complex attack included a truck bombing at the main gate, a suicide bomber who struck a back wall and rockets fired from outside, setting of a series of explosions that rattled Kandahar, the country's second biggest city.

Can we please now impeach Nancy Pelosi so we can impeach Bush and Cheney for getting us stuck and impotent in Iraq?

I wouldn't be too concerned about it. I mean, it's not like Afghanistan's the "central front" in the war on terrorism or anything.

I'll ask you the same question you asked back in 2003. What does Iraq have to do with Afghanistan?

homerdrew415 2008-06-14 03:57:53 AM  
Oh I think Iraq is a drain on Afghanistan, but what does Pelosi, Bush, and Cheney's impeachment have to do with a prison break in Kandahar?

homerdrew415: Oh I think Iraq is a drain on Afghanistan, but what does Pelosi, Bush, and Cheney's impeachment have to do with a prison break in Kandahar?

I don't know... what might a prison break in Kandahar have to do with the self-inflicted security clusterfark in Afghanistan?

 
whidbey [TotalFark] 2008-06-14 04:08:32 AM  
Oh I see. The point of this article is to rouse us giving away more of our freedoms to catch a bunch of turrorists that we probably made anyway.

So: more money, more guns, more expensive shiny airplanes, more blowing up innocent civilians just to teach them dirty turrorists a lesson. Whatever it takes. Got it.

Thanks subby!!.

 
Kevin72 2008-06-14 04:09:35 AM  
Homer . . . Iran, thats what. They have had more time in Afghanistan than to defeat the Nazis and the Japanese, and we get this FAIL? Impeach as they are salivating to bomb Iran.

 
homerdrew415 2008-06-14 04:12:17 AM  
Dammit! I'm trying to go to bed & watch LA Confidential!

yeesh...

Ok, an Afghanistan prison break in Kandahar has everything to do with NATO refusing to allow their troops outside of Kabul, and if they do it's in a lets stay in our bases and drink beer (Yay Germania!) mode. If we were to take our troops from Iraq and send them there, Iraq would be like this every day, instead of the once a week like now.

Bottom line, if we had never gone to Iraq we might have better control over security in Afghanistan, but that's a pipe dream.

I really wonder what it's going to take to get our footdragging Congress to take this seriously.

Take away their free parking spaces at the airport?

Kevin72: Homer . . . Iran, thats what. They have had more time in Afghanistan than to defeat the Nazis and the Japanese, and we get this FAIL? Impeach as they are salivating to bomb Iran.

Bush ordering the destruction of Iran's nuclear facilities is unlikely and is more likely to be done by Israel (just like they did to Iraq's Osiris reactor, and Syria's recently destroyed facilities). Though I'd say there's almost as good a chance of the Saudis pulling the trigger on this as well. Remember the Sauds are 10 x more frightened of a Nuclear armed Iran than the US or Israel, not to mention the Europeans.

 
Kevin72 2008-06-14 04:19:13 AM  
OK. Dont impeach. Stay the course. This FAIL is to be expected. Bombing Iran is next.

 
homerdrew415 2008-06-14 04:24:30 AM  
Look Kevin, at a minimum you're a 'tard since you keep repeating the bombing thing. I'm going to bed now so let me say this one last time. If anyone does destroy Iran's nuclear facilities it's going to be with a Cruise missile or something similar, not a Bomb which would require aircraft to be risked crossing into Iranian airspace, which would start a 2 way shooting war, spilling over into Iraq, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and maybe the UAE.

 
Kevin72 2008-06-14 04:31:15 AM  
OK Homer, I learned a few things. Hope it is the Saudis that bomb Iran and not us or Israel.

Gyrfalcon [TotalFark] 2008-06-14 05:34:22 AM  
It's not really such an amazing idea; it's just that very few nations have enough dedicated suicide bombers to really pull off this kind of attack.

I'm sure plenty of guys at Pelican Bay have PLANNED this kind of escape; they just run into trouble when it comes to executing the "run the truck full of explosives into the gate" part of the plan. "No, no, I swear, Ramon, we'll take good care of your family." "Uh, yeah, ese, I'll get back to you on that one."

Bombing Iran is essential to the survival of the US and Israel. The sooner, the safer we will be. It's unfortunate that not many people realize this.
