What a bleepin' joke. The Taliban today condemned the photos that U.S. troops took of them showing off the remains of failed Taliban suicide attackers as "inhuman" and vowed revenge against the U.S. In fact, from the article at DAWN, this is what the Taliban had to say:

“strongly condemns the brutal and inhuman act by the American invading force and their uncultured slaves,”

Okay, let me make sure I have this straight. The Taliban, who place a 15 year old boy in a van filled with 1,500 pounds of explosives and have him blow up that van (and himself) along a roadway in Afghanistan are calling U.S. troops "brutal" and "inhuman" and ANA soldiers "uncultured".....?

The same Taliban that poisoned the water supply of a school in Afghanistan poisoning 150 little Afghan schoolgirls because they wanted to learn how to read and write....those are the Taliban making this statement?

Is this the same Taliban that made the video of the stoning of the woman in Afghanistan they suspected of having sex with a man?

Yes. The same Taliban. The same pigs who planted an IED on a roadside in southern Afghanistan and detonated on a civilian vehicle killing 13 women and children are all upset that one of their suicide bombers is shown off by U.S. troops.

This fake outrage by the Taliban is comical - they are learning how to play the propaganda game because believe me, these animals could give a shit less what happens to any of their fighters let alone any other human beings. The Taliban are human killing machines - they are devoid of any morals or remorse.

I could care less about these photographs...as far as I'm concerned it's no different than a guy posing with a wild boar he shot on a hunt in Texas.

Taliban condemn US soldiers posing with militants’ remains


KABUL: Afghanistan’s Taliban on Thursday condemned photographs of US soldiers posing with the remains of their militants, calling the two-year-old photos “inhuman” and vowing revenge.

The pictures, which date back to 2010 but were published by the LA Times on Wednesday, add to a string of recent scandals that have ignited anti-Western feeling and complicated Nato-US efforts to build towards a 2014 withdrawal.

The Taliban “strongly condemns the brutal and inhuman act by the American invading force and their uncultured slaves,” a statement from the militants said.

In some of the pictures Afghan police are also seen posing with mangled remains of the Taliban bombers with their US allies.

“This is what the invading Americans teach to their Afghan slaves,” the statement said, referring to the members of the Afghan security forces trained and funded by the US-led troops.

The militant group, which has waged a brutal insurgency since being ousted from power in late 2001, said they would avenge the dead militants.

US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said those responsible would be punished but voiced “regret” that the LA Times had decided to publish the images against his wishes, warning that they could prompt a violent backlash.

The LA Times published two of 18 photographs it was given by a soldier who believed they pointed to a breakdown in leadership and discipline that compromised the safety of the troops.

One showed a soldier with a dead insurgent’s hand draped on his right shoulder. The other showed soldiers grinning and giving a thumbs-up behind the disembodied legs of a Taliban fighter.

There are about 130,000 Nato troops, the bulk of them from the United States, in Afghanistan fighting the Taliban. Similar incidents have in the past led to violent protests by Afghans.
