<I think the individual Taleban soldiers exited Mazar-i-Sharif quickly because they remember that the last time they lost the city to the Northern Alliance there were massacres. There's talk that they are headed towards Kabul, but I don't see how they could possibly get there alive. >

They exited to set a base for next major battle, the Taleban most likely kept the best fighting force around Mazar. They did not want to give up Mazar so easily but they have been softened so badly. The fall of Mazar is body blow to Osama-Omar tactics. Perhaps no less an evil than Mullah Omar or rather Osama bin Laden decided that the losses do not justify a prolonged fight to hold Mazar, they have withdrawn to fight a bigger battle but would they reach Kabul is one question I have. I don’t think so they will be pulverized on their way. Lets see.. The stage of final showdown is being set, the crucial battle if thee fighters reach Kabul will be fought around Kabul and next Kandhar. The analysts feared that the ferocity of the Mazar battle would claim the finest from both the sides; the fall of Mazar is a very major setback to this evil group. Kabul looks to me closer now. Don't forget my 17th predictions.
