From Afghan President Hamid Karzai to tribal elders in the far southern Helmand Province, reaction is coming out from the leaked video showing four US Marines urinating on slain Afghans, and unsurprisingly it is uniformly negative. Interestingly enough the only group that appears unfazed by the video is the Taliban insurgency, which yesterday commented that they didn’t need to see the video to remind them they were at war with an occupying force. For other Afghans, the video is just another reminder of the fiasco of a decade-long occupation.

"… the only group that appears unfazed by the video is the Taliban insurgency."
Why not? It's a public relations bonanza. All they have to do is stand around and watch the Empire self-destruct.

The Taliban is at war against a stroner enemy but have the hearts to win and never give up.They know worse things that have been done aside from that,like babys being muderd by drones well sleeping in civilian areas.Afganistan the graveyard of empires.Russia warned America but the warmoner zionists did not listen,so did Regan.If you can not win there China with Russia will wipe the floor with America Israel and all there allies even without theres.
