Well,
we have learned a lot about Afghanis and Pashtun tribesmen.
We have learned a lot about a region called Warziristan.
We have learned that not all Afghanis are Pashtun but that all Pashtun are Pashtun and that they haven't changed their cultural ties since before Columbus sailed for the New World.
They are in fact a pre-Columbian society.
The Islam they profess adheres to the earliest versions of the faith, back when it was still possible to call Islam a religion of peace.
Warziristan is claimed by Pakistan but in reality it is ruled by tribal leaders scattered thorughout the mountain valleys.
No one rules Warizistan.
There is a tradition amongst the tribes unchanged in all these years that once a person is taken in as a guest that person is never abandoned, never betrayed, never allowed to fall into the wrong hands.
These and many other things we have learned about in the past six years.
I read an article that said the USA was going to use satellites to find Bin Laden.

You mean he's not still dead
sheesh. getting worse, not better.
georgeob posted a good summary of some of this on one of those mile-long threads. maybe I'll look for it again.
well, at least they're looking.
aren't they?
or are they making that up too?
I think they are looking, but they are trying to find a needle in a needle factory.

They're looking for bin Laden in the same vein as O.J. Simpson looking for the real killer on America's golf courses.
I think he's hiding under the bed at Montana's house. But that's just what I think.
I guess I'd better get over there right away and pump her for information then.
I was going to volunteer to come along for some comic relief Kicky, but then again, once you get there, she may not need any comic relief.
(I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself. I'm being a bad clown today)
Hey, come on over! I can use the company. Osa... Ummmm....I mean, the company I have now just isn't that entertaining.
