The Taliban clearly want a propaganda boost from the five-hour attack.
The video appears designed to undermine that propaganda effort.
Erm, hello, this is a five hour attack on the US Embassy in Kabul. I think the Taliban are winning this one!

I greatly admire your work and the effort you put forth documenting the human experience, but I must beg you to stop using Adobe® Flash® to display your work on the web. It makes for a horrible experience and detracts from the message you're trying to convey.
