Tal-EEEE-bahn

I'm glad that I'm not only one is mightily irked by Pres. Obama's pronunciation of Taliban as "Tal-EEEE_bahn" and likewise for Pakistan. If there was even an ounce of equanimity in the media and among comedians they would be making fun of Obama for these eccentric pronunciations the same way they made fun of Bush for his mangling of the language. Of course, there isn't any such equanimity. Oh well...
