The last thing America’s Traitor Media would report is that we are winning in Afghanistan. Yet that’s what’s happening. NATO forces – combining US, Canadian, Australian, Polish soldiers plus 1,000 French (!) – have been rolling up the Taliban in a ball over the last several months.
The “resurgent” Taliban that Democrats like John Kerry claimed today (9/14) are “running amok across entire regions” of Afghanistan are in reality being wiped out. Victory over them is quite near.
Taliban guerrillas are being killed by the gross – dozens, scores, at a time, hundreds a week. Over 500 have been killed in one single district (Panjwayi) west of Kandahar (the main city in southern Afghanistan) in the past two weeks alone. It’s being called The Great Taliban Turkey Shoot.
There is no way the Taliban – de-tribalized Islamic radicals trying to swim in a completely tribalized society – can sustain these losses. The fighting season is coming to a close, and winter will see the Taliban remnants (plural of Talib, Pushtun for “student”) melt away as they give up and try to re-assimilate into the respective tribes to which they once belonged.
In desperation, the Taliban have taken to terrorizing their fellow Afghans. Hundreds of villages have been forced to close their schools, tribal elders who resist are assassinated. This has caused a fierce backlash throughout the tribes of southern Afghanistan, who are rejecting and repulsing them en masse.
By winter’s end and the springtime fighting season begins next year, what remains of the Taliban will have been pushed across the border into a sanctuary of Pakistan called South Waziristan. It’s a trap.
The “truce” Pakistan leader Parvez Musharraf just inked with the region’s tribal leaders is a Taliban Roach Motel. The Taliban and their Al Qaeda buddies will have NATO on one side and Pak troops Musharraf can trust on the other. The bad guys won’t get out alive.
Not a word of this will escape the lips of CBS’ Katie Couric or appear on the pages of Bill Keller’s New York Times. And desperate Democrats will deny it all.

Rod is one of our nation’s leading minds. He’s smart, original, and very committed—a combination that one rarely finds.
Rod Martin and [former Howard Dean campaign manager] Joe Trippi are America’s two foremost experts on online politics.
Rod Martin is a Reaganite-Thatcherite conservative…[and] a man who has spent much of his life ministering to and working for the benefit of others. I know Rod as an advocate for freedom, a leader who understands the real changes we need in Washington, and who has the drive and ability to make those changes happen.
Rod Martin is the kind of dynamic leader who has the knowledge, ability and experience to lead us successfully into the 21st Century. His vision for America is compelling.
Rod Martin literally wrote the book on excellence. Humble yet brilliant, a man of love and compassion, with penetrating clarity he illuminates the world around us, and we are both stirred and enlightened.
Rod Martin is a born leader and an outstanding political mind. Anyone who takes him on is going to have a serious fight on their hands.
Rod Martin is a man of uncommon vision and character. Ever since I first worked alongside Rod in the early days of PayPal, I’ve been struck by his powerful vision for the future. Rod understands the intersection of technology, politics and culture in a way that few others do.
Rod Martin wears with uncommon grace an uncanny ability to link his vigorous faith to the practical challenges of both the business world and the political arena. Yet the respect he shows for others carries a warmth and modesty that are both too rare among those who are strong advocates of feisty positions.
America badly needs more leaders who really get the future. We need more Rod Martins.
Rod Martin is a modern day philosopher-statesman. He is a capitalist intellectual, a conservative iconoclast, a gentle adversary and a kind prophet. He inspires us towards a fresh national vision built upon the original founding principles.
Rod Martin is not only effective and efficient, but he is also perceptive, wise and gracious. He gets things done. He is a great friend and a great ally.
Rod is one of the sharpest, most gracious men I know, and one of the most gifted political thinkers today. His ability to analyze issues and communicate thoughtful insights on them have earned him the respect of people across the political spectrum.
I am proud to have been Rod Martin’s friend for a quarter century, and I can tell you that he is one of the finest men and most outstanding leaders in our church and in our country today. He has a knack for turning everything he touches to success.
Rod Martin is a cornucopian entrepreneur and eutropic thinker whose influence radiates through an array of companies, institutions, movements and churches. A renaissance American, he is also a prolific friend of freedom and faith around the globe.
If Rod Martin represents the next generation of leaders, America has nothing to worry about.
A leader and a servant, in public life and in private, Rod Martin strides at the top of his profession, and has nowhere to go but up. He is in the truest sense of the word ‘outstanding’.
Rod Martin is undoubtedly one of the most accomplished thought leaders today. He is a wonderful mentor, a humble role model, and a deep inspiration for the next generation of scientific innovators and entrepreneurs.
Rod’s achievements pale beside his character and his brilliance. He sees what others can’t. He leads when others won’t.
Rod Martin is one of America’s finest young minds.
