(AP) DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan - Close to 150 Taliban fighters armed with guns and rocket-propelled grenades attacked a prison in northwest Pakistan before dawn Sunday, freeing hundreds of prisoners, including some suspected militants, police said.

The prison was located in the city of Bannu in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, said police officer Shafique Khan. The fighters freed 380 prisoners. At least 20 of them were "very dangerous Taliban militants," including one, Adnan Rashid, who was allegedly involved in an assassination attempt against former President Pervez Musharraf, Khan said.

A Taliban spokesman, Asimullah Mehsud, claimed their fighters freed 1,200 member of the group. The group is know to make exaggerated claims.

The Pakistani Taliban have waged a bloody war against the government over the past several years that has killed thousands of Pakistani officials and average citizens.

The Pakistani military has launched a series of operations against the group in the northwest, where it is strongest. Soldiers and police have arrested scores of suspected militants over this period.

Meanwhile, in N. America and W. Europe, similar Radical Islamist groups are getting stronger and stronger, thanks to unnecessary mass immigration which is allowing them to build up their numbers. They don't need to become the majority in any given Western country to turn it into a living hell. They only need to reach a critical mass whereby there's too many Radical Islamists to keep track of and control. They also love having a chaotic 3rd world nation at America's doorstep from which they can easily infiltrate America. They know that many American politicians do all they can to accomoodate Mexico and hamper the proper defense of America's borders. Have you e-mailed your representatives in Congress lately to let them know that you don't appreciate being colonized by Taliban scum?

So...this is all that the United States has to show for 10 years worth of time, effort, blood and treasure invested in Afghanistan?

GET OUT NOW! Afghanistan isn't worth this. We never went in there to try to save the Afghan people from the Taliban. We went in after Al Qaeda, which was operating in Afghanistan with impugnity. We can use drones and special forces to make it so the Taliban leadership can't show it faces anywhere in Afghanistan until they decide to make peace with the United States...

...and that Al Qaeda can't show its face anywhere in Afghanistan. We can do this without garrisoning tens of thousands of troops in Afghanistan and making them targets.

Get our people out of there and let them remain in the sixth century.
