"New Tactics" In Afghanistan

The loudspeakers atop the Humvee crackled to life: "The Taliban are women! They're bitches! If they were real men, they'd stop hiding under their burkas and they'd come out and fight!"

Well, this should go over about as well as last year's Saddam parody posters.

But, interesting, isn't it, that the "hiding" "bitches" aren't the ones driving around in humvees and helicopters, outfitted by several hundreds of billions of dollars of U.S. military spending; but rather "bearded and bedraggled men who were carrying 19th-century single-shot rifles"?
