Courage. "U.S. Troops Kill Taliban Commander, Clad in Woman's Clothes," from AP, November 29 (thanks to Sr. Soph):

KABUL, Afghanistan — U.S.-led coalition troops killed a Taliban commander dressed as a women [sic] during a raid in southern Afghanistan, officials said Saturday.

Soldiers killed four Taliban fighters in Friday's operation, including the Taliban commander named Haji Yakub who was dressed as a woman to evade capture, the U.S. military said in a statement....

In the Ghazni raid, the U.S. said coalition forces discovered Yakub as they questioned a group of women and children inside a compound. The Taliban commander was dressed in a burqa, a traditional robe that covers the entire body. He was killed when he "attempted to engage the force," the statement said.

The Muslims don't know about our new Xray binoculars...

Taliban commander was dressed in a burqa,

islamists mode of fighting aka cowards to the core, they cannot standup to fight like a man, but need to hide among women and fight inside a sack.

Girly men?

Thankfully, we have troops with enough sense of self-preservation to react without pausing to run PC calculations first.

Killed in a burqa! Now that's justice! Ha ha!

Incidentally, why don't you ever see green burqas? I thought green was the islamic colour of choice.

Yeah, they bagged him in a burqa.

What does sharia say about cross dressers?

Sure this jihadist was doing it as a military cover, but it's still kinky. Does sharia say anything about kink?

The burning question is, did Haji Yakub enjoy wearing the burka?

Well we will never know, he's with the virgins now. I wonder what the virgins thought when Haji
showed up wearing a burka?

Is it too much to ask that he be buried in his burqa?

Posted by: tanstaafl [TypeKey Profile Page] at November 29, 2008 9:51 AM

It's tough enough to engage an enemy that does not wear a uniform let alone dressed in a burqa. Looking at the photo above how can anyone detect whether she, or he is carrying an AK-47, or is a suicide bomber.

Bury all killed Taliban in a burqa smothered over with slabs of pork. Announce this policy very publicly.

Afghan police officers working a highway checkpoint near here noticed something odd recently about a passenger in a red pickup truck. Though covered head to toe in a burqa, the traditional veil worn by Afghan women, she was unusually tall. When the police asked her questions, she refused to answer. When the veil was eventually removed, the police found not a woman at all, but Andre Vladimirovich Bataloff, a 27-year-old man from Siberia with a flowing red beard, pasty skin and piercing blue eyes. Inside the truck was 1,000 pounds of explosives. Afghan and American officials say the Siberian intended to be a suicide bomber, one of several hundred foreign militants who have gravitated to the region to fight alongside the Taliban this year, the largest influx since 2001.

People who wear these things should be shot in site. One thing I love about my bank (actually credit union) is that it does not allow people to enter wearing and headgear, be it a hat, sunglasses, or a hijab. No special treatment for Muslims, and that's why I keep my money there.

Killed in a burqa? Hope they were able to salvage the fabric; if not, what a waste of beautiful material.

"Men" that hide behind women, when looking for a fight, are the single mostly cowardly human beings on the Earth. But here's the deal, MUSLIM men HATE women and just as soon kill them all because of Honor. It is truly psychotic behavior induced by years of indoctrination in a world "religion"/"cult"/"mass hypnosis". And I suggest that he be cut up and buried in PIG FAT!!!

OO-RAH!

I'm confused where does that put him when he reaches the gates of heaven? Does he have a harem of 72 virgins or does he become one?

The mind boggles....

Lessons from the Battle of Heiromyak (Al Yarmuk)
(from History of Jihad:
http://www.islam-watch.org/HistoryOfJihad/index.html)

At the Battle of the Yarmuk (river), between the Muslim Arabs and the Byzantines, the Muslim Arabs were losing the battle in the initial stages. When the victory seemed certain for the Byzantines, the Muslims took recourse to subterfuge, when they realized that victory could not come to them through straight warfare, they used a contingent of women to attack the Byzantine troops who charged at the Byzantine army shrieking and hollering. Not used to facing ladies as an adversary, the Byzantines were at a loss to respond and the confused Byzantine generals ordered their troops not to molest the women and to withdraw.

When the Arab Muslims saw that this tactic using women as a deceptive front was working, they sent in the main contingent of Arab men dressed as women in hijabs (the black tent like gown worn by Muslim women) to charge at the Byzantines, and in the process one of the Arab generals Khalid-ibn-Walid disguised as a woman in a hijab, embraced the Byzantine General Harbees and crushed his ribs, thus killing him. With their general dead, the Byzantine army became leaderless, and the fortunes of the battle started going in favor of the Muslim Arabs. This is how the tricky and insidious Muslims won the battle of Yarmuk. Another example of Allah intervening to give the Muslims victory in war (sic)!

Most of those fanatics are bisexual at best, so he probably felt very natural in the bag.

A salient reason why the burqa must be illegal in the West.

A dead giveaway - the shoes did NOT match the bag.
