Daily Mail: Reports how the latest UK Soldier died in Afghanistan, the Soldier from the The Highlanders, 4th Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland (4 SCOTS) was taken by the Taliban and shot in the back of the head. These is the kind of cowards that our brave Armed Forces Personnel have to face folks, this is why any withdrawal by 2014 from Afghanistan has to be gradual, the West can not afford to give a PR victory to the Taliban, the recent attack on a Kabul Hotel and this attack shows that the Taliban see the point of symbolic attacks on Western Forces before NATO leaves in 2015. In essence they get Afghanistan back but they want to show that like the Viet Cong in the Vietnam War they have defeated a Super Power, thus as Western Forces withdraw expect more attacks, the Taliban want to claim that like their defeat of the USSR and before that the British Empire, they have thrown back a invading force. The War in Afghanistan is also about spin folks, everything is political folks.
