Blinky taunts NATO
Long time, no see, Blinky...
KABUL (Reuters) - Taliban leader Mullah Omar on Tuesday called on foreign forces to withdraw from Afghanistan and taunted NATO about its capture of the southern town of Musa Qala, saying celebrating such a small victory only showed its weakness.
Yes, we would've stayed and slaughtered you as always, but...we had our good Eid clothes on and our mothers woulda got mad at us if we got them all dirty. But next time, we'll show yas!
This year has seen a steady escalation of violence in Afghanistan with attacks up around 25 percent since 2006, but neither the hard-line Taliban nor Afghan government and international forces have gained any significant advantage.
Well, unless ya count all the dead guys...
... and we did ...
"The aggression by the Americans and their allies against Afghanistan and Iraq brought with it economic and financial losses that affected not just occupied states, but the aggressors are also suffering," Omar said in a message to mark the Eid al-Adha Muslim holiday beginning in Afghanistan on Wednesday."Therefore, international institutions and all countries, especially Muslim states, should find ways for the evacuation of aggressor forces, and along with occupied nations help form a permanent and independent government," the Pakistan-based Afghanistan International Press (AIP) quoted a statement as saying.
Yes. Please go away so we don't have to bleed all over you...
Blinky's too important to fight us, he sends the young lads to take us on ...
The one-eyed reclusive leader said no occupying power had ever conquered Afghanistan and the Taliban was getting stronger each day.
Ummmmmm...the eye thing? He...doesn't like that.
The Taliban, he said, "have troubled them so much that they are propagating and celebrating a partial occupation of the small district of Musa Qala, the way they did six years ago over occupation of Afghanistan."
...and that's why I live in the Allah Ahkbar Suite of the Peshawar Hilton in Pakistan.
Thousands of Afghan, British and U.S. troops recaptured the town of Musa Qala in the southern province of Helmand last week, the only town of any size held by the Taliban, but much of the countryside in the remote area, as in many parts of the mountainous country, are still loosely under Taliban control.
...where they enjoy winter sports, air strikes, starvation and hypothermia.
"Only the district headquarters and few shops of Musa Qala are under the enemy's occupation," Omar said. "They have not achieved any success in the last six years and such a celebration (over the capture of Musa Qala) is the biggest proof of their weakness," he said.
Ha-ha-ha! I laugh at your victory!! And order up more goat pr0n on Direct TV Peshawar to show my contempt! Fight on, men! Your blood and scattered body parts show the futility of their victory! I'll will turn up the heat in my suite in honor of your sacrifices!
Omar promised no let up in Taliban activities during the usual lull in fighting that accompanies the harsh Afghan winter and denied there was any rift in his organisation.
Have no worries, my Jihadi brothers. Know that all is well here in Peshawar. Fight on! I will have an extra serving of goat stew in honor of the freezing, starving warriors who have not yet been killed. To the last drop of blood, men! Win one for The Blinker!
