study dunedin full of module has it up on the i could go. home is. not 100. how about one read how did understand what he didn't talk about you know some kind of fee have no one else in the known to him you know how to be honest what do you do when you leave the salon feet up on his lawn when you have them or not just you know if you have them what you got caught almost on a home how do you get your money and i mean how. much i can feel how tidy it when i do not but instead on my love. for him will monitor decide i'm going to come if i want to follow the beautiful home but it's not economy. and let's not touch id because i think i'm in a. bit ahead of my own to him oh man think i'm a shack at it but he's not a kind of. nothing. nothing. to fuck it could you

quantify up on a stone salam of time it for you that a couple having to do what most people do it so often that you do you must on that is. why daughter was. almost ready for them to me was because not for him not home not move the salami up on his thumb not know mom was being out how to be up on islam how to. not going to see how to defy he's a home yes i want to meet up one is one who did how you fail to understand but he that he could home ways and a lot of time we do not study go to. the top of a lot. it's very interesting you mention moscow how is the relationship between the taliban and russia. i don't move. you needn't hamada rules. by christiane what would you want would ya gotta focus on about the what it must be to put in. and. not be in the. to another. or. not you from an on going home.

study modeled on the. well i mean jadon you know what i call that a communal good about me that i mean what if i made a comment if i did not know. anybody in the my fishing manof he model. of the home job though how women who are not but over how to cut a little. prevent the husband of a couple do it so how true is it that taliban were getting bounties from the russians to kill american soldiers. will not until. then this up to how the militia we were just nikesh up in. qana. for house.

under a home home home. most of them you know bruce yeah i said you can look and. see it and thought if you. listen to what i think. but we have a little boy in a week. or so no men who are. slow about thought on and why is that you want about the us with. the most gold medals yeah. but it is not just a fine intelligence has it it is also coming from us intelligence sources at a time when the united states wants to leave a blunder in the neander states is negotiating with you why would they lie. no money not the kind of money on home. you could even if you had to live alone and not know. how about out of

kabul home your children have the home you do know my son. out of kabul. afghanistan. i'm no home. but economy along with that little bit you're going to do is you have to understand but he's there to. be a copy of one is what i. can custom hardware what i can. in the home should hold value. but there is a precedence to this it was called not the taliban but the of language i had seen you were being helped by the cia via the pakistani i.s.i. and against the soviets at that time so why wouldn't you take the money from the soviets or the russians now and kill americans or you. think that mcconnell man would you give them if you often would you. use them in

a coup to go to the. mafia you must. define you how to get how do. you know how the thoughts honestly. because they don't know not. diplomacy yet like in mahmoud good ideas that you have . let's come back to afghanistan. the cities are under the government control the rural areas in most of the provinces are into taliban controlled how much of the understand do you control and what is the state of those areas if one of the could buy me a new low. in a field you're going to not just the thought and thought of what from the life he. had a whole lot more you. were not. home. safe there are a lot of like we're not. going to. shun

you or your. moment the. moment you must have a. new. well. not a home and no home more not for you but. we're not kind and i'm not just. the world that i made it out of the one who might be a you know she. did not know what i can not the man i shall be the. more. we have. to model quite a lot of. i ask you because there is a big concern amongst most western nations that if the taliban gets a bigger share in power if it comes to power all of the progress that we understand

is made to words by men's rights towards good education towards establishing peace and justice giving people a right to express themselves that will all be taken away so what guarantees are you giving that it is not going to happen. i want to model a couple of them in the mud hole in the local lot of the material up on the stand because i want to kind of another mode because if you don't move to his son would. well had to be a bit of a dilemma such a tardy a no come to a why do you hit out someone could have been a son of the son of pain can to god if you had out what kind of we're not to tell you i'm sensitive to who had. been woman with the. kind of. minister what in the month of august but not to the kind of but not the did by now to what it had been in. the temple to a new kind of fee when i got a little but not the. kind of well i can move to that kind of that is what.

kind of he thought i would like and feel that i was kind of how to. be. not. good enough. not from up on his son once he knew me. because he to me that would go hot like in my own little. come how i guess you have a son could you and if you have understand what you're still talk about. who i'm going to hate myself and. i want you to. sit on. an economy. in a corner. when i can. come wish i could do that like enough my own little. hold on the horn i got a new movie that i'm one of. a lot of kind of the new gentleman that can you know

if he figured. out how. to dislike me well why should he i will have to do more in child abuse in la you want to talk on a public on a mode you would wonder why you don't misbehave you're going to look more. at that islam and i can. do it if. you could i mean because i'm. culture up one is the. home of. police that is. critical to. the kind of he was a good kind of you would kind of. work on if you cannot afford the kind of humor that is if you like. more what guarantees does the world have done

a stand that was there in 2001 during your time when there was running in here are problems is not going to return what guarantees does it have that other hardline groups are not going not going to find bases in afghanistan. but if they know when it's going to come on what good would it harder for them it's hard to put them on home was that it could be doing. just that tell us about one percent of the home 100 channels doesn't want to be 100 or enough years that it could. mean you have to if you had the subject in one of them one of them out there that we could get a couple of connelly's in me that kind of accountable who didn't want to know my kind of feel that. would have been. included or more of the sort of. get out that they cannot. you know like sort of might not get the loan. or the whole movie would knock them one must appeal but it might not have to. tell you

what you want to be a get up on the stand your closet is what i had yes my whole realm. for him one would want to call it will not be my job to hold you may not understand it i'll do it to him kind of you're not going to be i've got to kind of. but i mean that or not how do you mean what i don't for him when i'm. a little. funny that you know none of you know i hadn't been about what do you. hope yet you just thought i just did not want to sound that the how funny it. it says that there are internal and external threats to peace in atlanta the former and d.s.t. chief says that pakistan is still playing a role with the taliban and signed up honest on released a video saying you call to ice and fighters who were planning attacks including attacks on the us administration as well as of one officials how true is that and

what are you up against not enough i mean 100 or more of the how the some are some kind of in the hold your mother must or by the kind of people who are not a little above what i might have on his phone while not on qana. going on or not i'm just going to kind of in hopes of a shot kind of how do you know the not unknown feeling or not. out of the board going to be hard. enough on this time. of the su. someone i said to hold would you come. home you are going to have them. home. and the home and the home father and father of a well i can assure. you that if one of the taliban my. morning home. sure sure be him we're home how do you. know him how does she.

they were 20 years ago how do you envisage in afghanistan if the taliban takes a midge's share of power and control how much freedom will the people the use have in afghanistan. no the amount of an awful to be a good one or was it a mother away. not. going to have the 194101 another modified a new home a. condom i should on the son of god but 190. 9 you not to feel about what you did them aside though to to him not a sudden find out. all of him so when i did what i understand. about you know maybe you. know how do you. they do that it could be much harder for him. to have some do you build a home when i don't you don't you do enough you go to him. be to him what good that
