  1. Ghani Ahmadzai nails it: "Afghanistan still fails to find its moral, political, social and economic gravity centres."
  2. OWEN!!! #ManU
  3. RT @mujmash: my latest @AJEnglish : 'The ex-pat army': #Pakistani troops aid #Bahrain's crackdown - Features aje.me/o7jnKu
  4. @NaheedMustafa No one. The whole deal about the transition-that they're now going to face the real test-diminishes their previous work.
  5. Who says Afghan forces haven't been fighting before the transition? http://j.mp/oYn6Sg
  6. @JShahryar Well, come see the apartment. And if you can cook, bring Joanne and let's party.
  7. @alibomaye You can prolly explore the corruption, nepotism, incompetence, dysfunction, etc. in the bureaucracy and draw parallels
  8. @JShahryar I don't know what Ponyo is, but IRC is so 1998. Watch some lectures on game theory on Academic Earth. :)
  9. The uncertainty of what's gonna happen next in Afghanistan is, many ways, worse than the creeping insecurity.
  10. @alibomaye Darya is arguably as iconic as Ahmad Zahir, but in a different way. I have yet to like Zahir as fanatically as others do, tho
  11. @alibomaye Definitely some hyperbole, which is normal for the florid Dari style of writing. But Darya is arguably an icon in Afghan music.
  12. Taliban: “This is the work of American intelligence, and we'll take revenge on telephone network providers.” #Omar #PhoneHack
  13. More than just the Taliban phones must have been 'hacked,' because their website also carried the statement.
  14. Ok, back to editing these Iran stories. More on Omar's death later.
  15. Taliban statements weren't Google translated. The Pashto is too refined, the Afghan calendar dates too precise for that. @erinmcunningham
  16. @bettedam send me your email address
  17. Taliban email statement on Omar's death is in Pashto, English, Arabic. Signed by Dr. Tariq, Qari Yousuf Ahmadi, Z. Mujahid. @erinmcunningham
  18. Taliban statement on Omar's death not from Mujahid's email account; instead, it's from 'alemarah1' account. Odd in my experience.
