We' re bouncing because of the news from Kandahar. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ From the BBC The Taleban are in a state of "collapse" across Afghanistan, according to UK Prime Minister Tony Blair. In a statement to Parliament, he said anti-Taleban forces were now beginning to succeed in the south of the country, following their sweeping advance south into Kabul on Tuesday. Now the Taleban have less than 20% of the territory of Afghanistan Mr Blair said: "It is now clear that the Taleban regime is in a state of collapse across Afghanistan". He was speaking as reports emerged that the Taleban had been forced out of several eastern provinces, and might be losing their grip on the southern stronghold of Kandahar. Despite these territorial losses, the Taleban leadership remained defiant, claiming to be regrouping after what they called a tactical withdrawal from some cities. But Mr Blair rejected this, saying the claim was a "lie".
