The problem with this story is it sounds like the taliban just wants to get their name in the paper. "We wanted to target ... Cheney," Taliban spokesman Mullah Hayat Khan told Reuters by phone from an undisclosed location. Like my pappy use to say, want in one hand and piss in the other and see which one fills up first. I doubt there was any real threat to the VP. IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Front Row Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 (edited) We knew that Dick Cheney would be staying inside the base," Ahmadi told AP telephone from an undisclosed location. "The attacker was trying to reach Cheney." The explosion happened near the first of at least three gated checkpoints vehicles must pass through before gaining access to Bagram. The sprawling base houses 5,100 U.S. troops and 4,000 other coalition forces and contractors. High security areas within the base are blocked by their own checkpoints. It was unclear how an attacker could expect to penetrate the base, locate the vice president and get close to him without detection. "We maintain a high-level of security here at all times. Our security measures were in place and the killer never had access to the base," said Lt. Col. James E. Bonner, the base operations commander. "When he realized he would not be able to get onto the base he attacked the local population." I hate to agree wth EGL but seems like a propaganda stunt to me also. But I doubt the victims family feel this way. Looking for headlines Edited February 27, 2007 by Front Row Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Beatings Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 (edited) Why would Afghanistan want to enter the war on terror now? They're much better off just being quiet and forgotten.
