Taliban Jack - Tucking Tail & Running; or, "The Buffoon Gambit"

Jack Layton's ill-considered remarks over the Labour Day weekend continue to draw criticism around the MSM and the blogosphere. Debris Trail at Cjunk reports on the latest peaceful negotiating position from the Taliban. Quoting Mullah Dadullah, Chief military Commander of Taliban fighters:

"From today, I want to tell journalists that if in future they use wrong information from coalition forces or NATO we will target those journalists and media,'' Mullah Dadullah said. ``We have the Islamic right to kill these journalists and media."

It would be interesting to see how Taliban Jack's negotiating strategy, now known as the "Buffoon Gambit", will work with Mr. Dadullah. We encourage Tal-Jack to make haste forthwith and inform the good mullah that its not nice to kill people. They can both sit down together and commiserate on how they're both so misunderstood.

Debris Trail's note concludes with the following observation:

Thanks Jack; I’m sure they toasted you with tea and murmurs of approval in the Taliban caves along the Afghan-Pakistan border. In the mean time, truly honorable men are fighting and dying in the name of freedom and democracy. While Jack plays the socialist hero at home; our true heroes are doing genuine socialist work in Afghanistan by ridding some of the poorest people on earth of the very tyrants who would hold them down forever.
