The media angle on this is: the Taliban is trying to disrupt the Afghan elections scheduled for tomorrow. This statement, of course, is true. But it also media spin to divert attention from the drastic change in the relationship of forces that has occurred in Afghanistan in recent weeks. The Taliban is now able to call the shots and the United States is rapidly losing control.
The first Merriam-Webster definition of "besiege", by the way, is: "to surround with enemy forces." [!!!!!]
