Happy Eid! From The Day.com, with thanks to the Norwegian Kafir:
Kabul, Afghanistan — The fugitive Taliban leader, Mullah Muhammad Omar, vowed to retake control of Afghanistan in a message released to a Pakistani news agency on Friday, the eves of both the Muslim holy festival of Eid-ul-Fitr and the third anniversary of the collapse of the Taliban regime.Omar, who is widely believed to be living in Pakistan and directing an insurgency against U.S. and Afghan government forces in southern and eastern Afghanistan, said the United States was trying to impose a puppet regime in the country but would fail. His message was released to a local news agency called the Afghanistan Islamic Press, based in Peshawar, Pakistan, and reported by Reuters. It came just two weeks after Osama bin Laden released a tape to Arab television, just before to the presidential elections in the United States.
In the message sent on Friday, Omar showed no regrets for refusing to cooperate with the United States' demand that he hand over Osama bin Laden for his role as mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks.
The Taliban “could have connived with America to retain power and this worldly rule by giving up Afghan honor,” he said. “But they didn't do it,” he said. “You should rest assured that I and my Mujahid colleagues will never accept anything except Islamic injunctions.”
“America and its puppets should know that we are determined to free and regain the sovereignty of our country,” he said. “There is much more brotherhood, obedience and steadfastness in the Taliban's Islamic movement than before,” he said.
He criticized the current government in Afghanistan of President Hamid Karzai for corrupting Islamic values, and said the United States was “trying to impose its puppet administration.” “Moral decadence, desecration of Islamic values and crime are increasing in Afghanistan. Every ploy is being used to mislead women.”
“America and its puppets should know that we are determined to free and regain the sovereignty of our country,” he said. “There is much more brotherhood, obedience and steadfastness in the Taliban's Islamic movement than before,” he said."
because obedience is exactly the way to freedom and sovereignty?
Good luck Omar, last I heard Afghanistan had a democratically elected government. Your boys have been soundly trounced by a handful of Americans and you aint coming back.
The first person to vote in the history of Afghanistan was a 19 year old woman.This despite the threats by Omar and his Islamist thugs to kill any woman who voted. Now that's progress.
Omars a delusional idiot. These Jihadist are unbelievable evil.
I understand that Osama's video was actually 18 minutes long vs the 6 minutes Al-Jazeera aired. Aside from withholding the footage of Osama whining about how hard the War on Terror has made it for him and his fellow jihadists, they also cut the part where Osama voices his disappointment that there wasn't enough violence to disrupt the Afghan elections.
I guess Mullah Omar didn't get to see the full, unexpergated version either.
"Every ploy is being used to mislead women"
Upset at the women thing, poor baby.
Aha, Omar The One Eyed's wives in Khandahar are getting restive! Maybe they've even decided to vote and the old chap is getting the wind up his nightie? Tough eh,Omar, if you can't have COMPLETE
control over women. Dream on for with a taste of freedom no one except your Jihadi monsters wants the Taleban back.

- from the Chechen mujahideens' pro-Taliban, pro-terrorist, pro-Sharia site that reopened yesterday in Finland, as a result of the "pro-freedom-of-speech" action of a bunch of green politicians and "pro-democracy" activists. Just in case some of you wonder whether these free speech activists were worried about the fate of Theo van Gogh: nope.
Will someone please go and poke this jerk off in his good eye, slap him tell him he has the right to remain silent?
scandie's posted link from finland has a pretty funny editorial following the newsstory where it is reported that the american troops in fallujah are now surrounded by the mujahadin. according to the editorial, this gives the mujahadin the advantage as now they can fight the battle on their own terms. apparently, the americans are in somewhat of a panic in attempting to figure out how to get out of this ambush
for some reason, the image of baghdad bob crosses the mind
doscentavo:
unbelievably evil and just about as stupid. They have been so flagrant in their wanton violence in support of totalitarianism that they have probably ripped the lid off of things for all but the most gullible.
