Taliban blows up schools

Weren't these right-wing creeps supposed to have been ousted from power?

The Taliban is now banning 40,000 girls in one region of Afghanistan from enrolling in school, after a 14-month-long campaign in which the Taliban has blown up over 100 schools.

The locals say they must abide by the Taliban's rule.

Excuse me for a moment, but I thought the Taliban was supposed to have been defeated?

John Kerry was right when he said the Iraq War caused America to take its eye off the ball in Afghanistan.

It's not as if Bush's right-wing cohorts give a shit though. After Bush falsely stated that "we destroyed the Taliban in Afghanistan", Bill Frist and Mel Martinez wanted Afghanistan's new government to include Taliban members. So why was America even in Afghanistan if the Taliban was just going to be kept in power?
