Intercontinental Hotel under attack in Kabul
This is breaking news and as far as I can tell, the attacks are still going on. The Taliban are claiming credit and CNN and other news outlets are comparing it to the attacks in Mumbai.
Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) — Fighters armed with bombs and small arms attacked Kabul’s InterContinental Hotel, where they fought Tuesday with Afghan security forces, Chief of Criminal Investigation Mohammed Zahir told CNN.
Among the attackers were suicide bombers, he said.
Taliban bombers were responsible for the 10 p.m. attack on the hotel, Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said.
Initial reports indicate that multiple suicide bombers, mostly likely wearing explosive vests, carried out the attack, a U.S. military official told CNN. There were no indications that U.S. military or diplomatic personnel were at the hotel, the official said.
The death toll so far is 10 but I expect this to climb. What a mess. Afghanistan is such a quagmire of evil.
Is this an “in your face” to Obama’s troop withdrawal plan? Is the Taliban trying to make the point that they are in charge in Afghanistan and the US can go to hell? Let’s face it….they’re Muslim so who the hell knows what they are thinking. They’re so crazy and messed up that it futile to try and figure out what’s really going on.
But the good news is that Iran is claiming that they have missiles that can reach all they’re favorite targets….including the US.
Love that Religion of Peace.
Oh happy day!

Congressman Allen West is, as far as I know, in Kabul right now. I pray that he's safe.
If this is how things are before the massive troop withdrawal, think what it will be like afterward. I pity the soldiers who are left there without adequate manpower to fight the enemy. And it is all for the gain of one man and his administration: Obama. Such a sorry SOB he is!
I have seen reports that state it is over. NATO helicopters took out 3 of them on the roof of the hotel. There are 10 reported civilian deaths. Some are hotel staff. There are 6 attackers who died via murder-suicide.
Any reports you hear coming from the Taliban are false.
We could have finished off this war so easily, but due to the insistence for politics to prevail in war strategies, we are sacrificed lives for little gain.
