War on terror, phase 1. The plan is simple: bomb the Taliban, weaken Al-Qaeda, put Osama on trial and declare victory! Wanted dead or alive Osama bin Laden. America's new war, part 2. Um... The bombs spooked Osama. Since he's gone, we're gonna nail evil one number two - Mullah Omar! We've got him surrounded! Office of perpetual warfare. America fights back, portion 3. Mullah Omar obviously has some inside track with Allah - how else could he have evaded our brilliant troops? But don't worry: we've bagged the former envoy to Pakistan who gave those annoying Taliban briefings. Even more war, no. 4. Like, we're zeroing in on a dude who cooked kebabs for the Taliban. Is that "kebab" or "kebob"? Sequels are a case study in entropy. Getcher war info here.
