tell me about the taliban. the enmy that showed up 20 yards away out of nowhere on americans on they way back from a memorial. >> the taliban are effective fighters. where i was they had roughly 30, 40 minutes to attack. they would try to get inside the belt buckle, which means they would get so cloels to the wire that the base's mortyrs, could not hit them. they were effective at maneuvering and essentially fearless. >> what is their motive? nationalism? religion? take back the country? throw out the invader? how do they look at it? why do they want to die? >> you know, they're not a unified group. they're local guys who get paid $5 a day to do low-level operations. shooting off an ak at the americans and disappearing.
