That Little Blue Dress

burka1.gif

You gotta love this one. While coalition forces in Afghanistan gear up for a major assault against Taliban insurgents and al Qaeda holdouts, there was one small victory that took the edge off the seriousness of the impending Operation Achilles (which, by the way, is a much better name for such an operation, don’t you think? A lot better than “Together Forward” or something foofy like that).

NATO reports that key Taliban commander and suicide bomb-maker Mullah Mahmood was captured in southeast Kandahar province by vigilant Afghan National Army troops. But here’s the best part. Mahmood was dressed in drag.

NATO reports that the insurgent leader was trying to slip through a checkpoint wearing a burka when ANA soldiers noticed something wasn’t quite right about the ruse.

Maybe that traditional Muslim dress reveals a lot more than one might think?

lol, wearing plain clothes to blend in with everyone else was already cowardly...now they have moved on to dressing up like women to hide...pathetic.

Now ain't that something - though I figure the burka disguise is probably quite effective usuallly...

As for the operation naming, I definitely agree that "Together Forward" is just silly.
Is there any resource where I could find a list of operations and their names? (Surprisingly, it seems that Wikipedia is not very helpful here... )
