Don't tell them in Grand Rapids.
From Reuters, with thanks to Sr. Soph:
KABUL (Reuters) - Afghan soldiers have captured a Taliban leader who tried to flee a security operation in the south dressed in a burqa, NATO said on Wednesday.Tuesday's capture in Kandahar province came as NATO launched a major offensive in neighboring Helmand to secure a key hydroelectric dam and combat the opium trade.
The man was named as Mullah Mahmood and described as an expert bomb-maker. U.S.-led coalition forces also detained five more suspected militants in eastern Khost this week.
Was it the beard that gave him away...
I wish our troops the best of luck and happy hunting...
Should have zapped him-would have saved a lot of trouble.
"Was it the beard that gave him away...Posted by: exsgtbrown" - in many cases - no.
Ban the burqa now!
I agree ..ban the burka...it is nothing but a symbol of female oppression and is a symbol of Muslim dominance...it should be outlawed....
"Was it the beard that gave him away..."
Yes - he stepped on it.
He forgot to zip his fly.
Make Mahmood watch the Rocky Horror Picture Show, tell him it's a docmentary and that's where all transvestites will be sent.
Oops. 'documentary'
Let's do the time warp again!
Men wearing burkas should be immediately killed according to Shari'a, I think. Men dressing like women is punishable by death according to Islamic law and hadith, isn't it?
exsgtbrown asks: "Was it the beard that gave him away?"
Well, no. Many arab women have beards. It was the cheap perfume, of course.
Somewhere here lies a "parody in the making" reminiscent of the stoning scene in Monty Python's "Life of Brian".
OFFICIAL:
Are there any Taliban here today?
CROWD:
(In woman’s voice) No. No. No. No...
OFFICIAL:
Come on! Who threw that? Who threw that stone? Come on.
CROWD:
He did! He did! She did! She! She. She. Her. Her. Her. Her. She did.

Why take prisoners when all that will lead to is that we will have to provide the prisoners with halal food, toilets facing towards Mecca, access to the Koran, and then if that is not all, be condemned by our Leftists for humiliating treatment of the RoP prisoners.
He's dressed that way because he's the Burqa King !
"Would you like french flies with that Burqa?"
