Wait Wait Whoa Whoa WHOA - Hold EVERYTHING

I'm sorry. I thought I heard Bush say that we destroyed the Taliban. Huh. I guess I heard wrong.

No. No, no, no. WAIT! Now I remember. I DID hear correctly - from his "Mission Accomplished" speech aboard the USS Lincoln! The fake flight suit! The fake declaration! The fake backdrop! Yeah, THAT speech! He said these exact words:

"In the battle of Afghanistan, we destroyed the Taliban, many terrorists, and the camps where they trained."

Man, that whole speech was just packed with hot steaming bullshit, wasn't it? Look who's back.

Taliban Claims Killing Afghan Aid Workers

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - Three foreign medical workers and two Afghans were killed Wednesday when their car was ambushed in northwestern Afghanistan, police and the aid agency said. Resurgent Taliban militants claimed responsibility.

The assault was the deadliest on foreign aid workers since the U.S.-led ouster of the Taliban regime in late 2001, and was bound to raise new security fears that already prevent agencies from operating in much of the insurgency-hit south and east.

The group was ambushed in Khair Khana, a village in Badghis province 340 miles west of Kabul, provincial police chief Amir Shah Naibzada told The Associated Press.
