Fox News: Reports that the Taliban are ready to attack in the South of Afghanistan. As Iraq has cooled down Afghanistan is becoming hotter, the Taliban can read the news, they are not thick, they see the Presidential Race in in the USA. In their view, not based on reality, they are looking back to Vietnam, and the political success of the Tet Offensive that destroyed the illusion that the USA was winning in Vietnam. Although in military terms the Vietcong failed during Tet they won a major political victory. Thus we have a Presidential Election, and the Taliban don't want a McCain Presidency, in their view not based on reality they think Obama would be weaker, he has not helped himself by stating that he would talk to Iran without conditions, they Taliban could be asking why Obama would not talk them, from their view its a fair question. Expect Afghanistan to get a lot hotter for both the USA and the UK.
