Taliban Frees Hundreds, Including Top Leaders, In "Prison Break" In Afghanistan

"Prison break" in quotes, because who knows how much help they had from the inside, outside, and topside.

Hundreds of prisoners escaped from a jail in Afghanistan's south on Monday through a tunnel dug by Taliban insurgents, officials said, a "disaster" for the Afghan government and a setback for foreign forces planning to start a gradual withdrawal within months.

...

Tooryalai Wesa, governor of volatile southern Kandahar province, told Reuters 488 prisoners escaped due to the negligence of Afghan security forces at the province's main jail. He said the tunnel led to a nearby house.

Khandahar, "the South," which is Pashtun-controlled and ergo Taliban country.

I renew my call for a partition in the country, establishing the anti-Taliban north as its own sovereign nation -- and then we support that nation and make war on the Pashtun one (the bigger part).

I am so sick of trying to preserve old borders and the idea of pluralistic multicultural society in places that are primitive and savage.

The Pashtuns like the Taliban and support them; let them choke on that. We may not be able to save the whole country, but we can preserve the anti-Taliban parts of it, and bomb the shit out of the rest of it.

The corrupt Hamid Karzai is president because he's a Pashtun and Pashtuns will of course not permit a non-Pashtun to head their government. Fine. They can have their choice of government but then we must impose our choice of countries and borders.
