I believe there was certain results with respect to co-ordination between occupying forces and the Afghans (not Taliban) forces. But now the civilians are in an uproar, and the Talibans can say 'we told you so', but whether this possible intrige was meant to get the occupying forces out sooner or keep them longer, I cannot see or say. Or maybe just to bother Obama, or sell more weapens, or whatever??? But too many things have happended of an extremely provocative nature, I just cannot see it as 'shit happens'. Maybe I am paranoid.
