Taliban Take Over Former U.S. Base In Korengal Valley (Video)



From 8AK:

24 Apr 2010 8ak: An Al Jazeera video, that will get a lot of play in radical-Islamic circles, shows the Taliban taking over a based evacuated by U.S. soldiers. U.S. says that they it was a strategic move to focus troops in urban areas but the local Taliban commander who took over says that it was demonstration of their power. Read the related commentary on Military.com. Watch another video of a firefight in the Korengal valley.

My Comment: I noticed this video last week. It disheartens me to now know that this video is becoming a recruiting tool for the Taliban .... a sequence of events that does not surprise me at all.
