Letter to the editor: Why would Putin pay Taliban to do what they've already sworn to do?
When last I heard, those Taliban fellows are all sworn to kill every one of us Americans. Now there’s a story going ‘round that Putin has offered some of those same Talibans a bounty to “assassinate” American soldiers in Afghanistan. Why would Putin offer to pay some of those thuggy Muslim insurgents to do what they are already sworn to do anyhow? Putin may be a lot of things, but he ain’t that stupid!
