Tragedy Lessened
Community religious leader, two 15-year-old sons tragically killed by jihadi mine in Afghanistan. Theirs. Ace. Lesser, higher tragedy roundup:
In other Taliban family news, Mansoor Dadullah critically wounded, captured. Brother of the tragically splattered Taliban video sensation Mullah Dadullah. Gateway notes Mullah Dadullah’s kid brother Mansoor recently met with al-Zawahri, and could be an excellent candidate for waterboarding, should he require Allah’s encouragement to spill what he knows about AQ. Not to mention what he knows about the whereabouts of the one-eyed, semi-literate pederast, Mullah Omar, and other Taliban leaders.
Hoisted by their own news: Pak ambassador missing, suspected seized by the Taliban. While alarming, alarm is tragically lessened by bitter irony of Pakistan’s long history of support for the Taliban, and reluctance to seriously address the problem.
Speaking of reluctant allies, Gates tells our NATO pals their disinterest in self-defense is a problem. A ”two-tiered alliance of those willing to fight and those who are not” doesn’t work, Gates said the other day in … you got it, Munich. History-rhyming irony-laden poetic city laureate. I’d call that a tragedy heightened.

Looks like the Taliban and al-Qaeda gene pools are being successfully cleansed, idiot by idiot.
