Troop increase for Afghanistan: Taliban tell NATO to 'bring it on'
A Taliban commander on Thursday welcomed NATO’s plans to send more soldiers to Afghanistan, saying it would provide the insurgents with more targets. “Increasing or expanding NATO troops in Afghanistan is not a worry for the Taliban, instead it will make targets for the Taliban mujahideen much easier,” Commander Mullah Obaidullah told Reuters, adding that the hardline Islamists could fight for 20 years. “After five years of continuous fighting against foreign troops, the Taliban have become a strong military power and the Taliban are able to fight and defeat the strongest army.”
"Well be able to fight on as long as there's a Pakistan, by Gum!"
Obaidullah also repeated Taliban threats to step up suicide attacks, a tactic which killed several foreign soldiers before and during this week’s NATO summit in the Latvian capital of Riga.
