Not acceptable in Islam and Afghan culture

Even Republicans know they’d look ridiculous talking about winning the Iraq war. Today McCain said, “We will not allow the United States of America to lose this war.” Like it just can’t happen without his permission.

Speaking of not allowing things, my quote of the day is from Afghan legislator (provincial, I think) Habib Rahman: “When the elders and clerics go to talk with the Taliban, they will explain once again that taking hostages is not acceptable in Islam and Afghan culture.”
