Taliban use hostage cash to fund UK blitz - Telegraph

I warned South Korea about negotiating with terrorists.  I warned them that paying money for hostages was an extremely bad idea.  Now it looks like that money went directly towards arms that killed a British soldier.

Major Alexis Roberts, 32, Prince William's former platoon commander at Sandhurst, was one of the victims of the Taliban offensive funded by the hostage money.

You know, I'd love to hear South Korea's explanation to Major Roberts' family on how they sleep at night knowing their actions directly lead to the needless death of a British soldier.

"It was a God-sent opportunity," said Mullah Hezbollah, 30. "It has helped us to multiply our stockpile of weapons and explosives to wage battle for at least a year or so."

You see, you deny them supplies, deny them opportunity, and you hunt them down and kill them.  That's all they understand and that's all they deserve.  When you give them money, especially for hostages, you enable them to fight longer, and more people die.

Of course South Korea denies this, but if it isn't true, why did the Taliban release the hostages?  Why not send in special forces and slaughter the kidnappers?

Someone's lying here, and unfortunately, I think it's the South Koreans.
