Taliban, tribal leaders awaiting order to retake Afghanistan. You betcha.
Sana News, Translated by Jihad Unspun
Unemployed Potentate Taliban Supreme Commander and Ruler Mullah Omarâs spokesman Syed Mohammad Tayab Agha said that they have completed plans to end the American influenced government in Afghanistan and are awaiting Mullah Mohammad Omarâs orders. He expressed these thoughts during a special interview to Sana News, conducted recently at an unknown location. Syed Agha said that they gave up Kandahar along with several other cities as a deliberate strategy and that Taliban leaders took into confidence all tribal leaders. He said that Taliban suffered losses in the beginning but had now regrouped and recovered.
That "deliberate strategy" had something to do with keeping somebody's hide unperforated and his neck its normal length...
Syed Mohammad Agha said that apart from Kabul they have total internal control of 80% of the region. He went on to say that a delegation of Taliban leaders visited all areas of Afghanistan where they met with Afghanistanâs tribal leaders and informed them of the Talibanâs future plans. All the elders and leaders of the tribes welcomed this delegation and ensured them of their unconditional support.
That's 'cuz they loo-o-o-o-o-ove those Talibs...
Mohammad Agha said that a proper coalition has not been formed between Taliban and Hizb-e-Islami and that they were attacking American force bases independently from time to time. He also made clear that Mullah Mohammad Omar did not leave Afghanistan during the American attack but has been changing location from time to time. He said 800 Taliban members are assigned to protect Mullah Omer. Agha said he met Mullah Omar about a month ago and that Omar is in constant touch with Taliban commanders. Agha went on to say that Osama is also in contact with Mullah Omar. He said several of Osamaâs aides are still with him and they are in contact with several others.
More puffing and blowing from the Unemployed Potentate. I don't think the Merkins should pack up and leave yet. Wonder if Hek and Mullah Omar have actually had a falling out or if this is just the usual lying for the sake of lying?
