Taliban leader vows jihad against US, UK
A Pakistani Taliban but we repeat ourselves leader vowed as only a Moose-limb holy man can on Thursday to wage an unrelenting when circumstances permit holy in the name of Allan™ war against US and British troops in North Pashtunistan Afghanistan from his secret lair stronghold in South Pashtunistan Pakistan's tribal lands. Speaking by satellite telephone with complete and utter safety from South Wazoo Waziristan, where his tattered and beaten forces have gathered strength from squad to platoon size in recent months, Haji Omar denied harbouring Al Qaeda members no, no, certainly not!, but said he was organising terrorist attacks inside the neighboring sovereign country of Afghanistan. "There is no Al Qaeda here. There is only ... the Taliban of Waziristan," Omar said as he reattached his lips. "We do send hard boyz mujahideen to Afghanistan. We send cannon fodder mujahideen to areas where American and British troops are concentrated ... we will continue our jihad against them even though they're killing us. It is our religious obligation so help us Allan."
I've been pointing out for awhile that a goodly proportion of Afghanistan's "Taliban" have in fact been Paks. The Afghans have been doing the same thing, though the Americans haven't been pushing the issue, perhaps out of politeness toward Perv. Heren's an open admission of it that the Paks will deny or ignore.

If the U.S. wants it to be, this can be a very stoopid move on the part of the Wazoos, since with an open declaration like this we've got every right to swarm across the border and kick the snot out of them when we chase them back home. This appears to be happening with the recent increase in the number of shellings across the border and the occasional air zap. Here's hoping it's followed by significant air and, if required, ground action. These are the guys who're the root of the Afghans problems and there's no way we should allow them a safe haven.
