I would like to thank you all for commenting on my paper. It is much appreciated.
Please be aware that I will shortly be publishing a much more complete manuscript dealing with some of the issues I raised in this initial paper on Taliban narratives. i continue to believe that an understanding of their discourses is critical aspect of COIN. Unfortunately we have been very sophomoric in our understanding
Thanks again for taking my work seriously and your comments.
