Afghanistan
Afghanistan will be 'third Vietnam' for US: Hekmatyar
2006-10-31
Afghanistan will prove a “third Vietnam” for the United States and Afghans will continue their jihad against the coalition forces, former Afghan prime minister Gulbuddin Hekmatyar said in a four-page statement issued from an undisclosed location on Monday.

Hekmatyar said that he was happy at the deaths of US soldiers in Iraq, which he said showed that the US was being defeated there and in Afghanistan. He said that US President George Bush had compared Iraq with Vietnam and claimed that Afghanistan would “become the third Vietnam for the US after Iraq”. The former Afghan prime minister said the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan would break the US economic backbone and its fate would be similar to that of the Soviet Union. Hekmatyar’s statement on Monday is the second since he released a four-page statement on October 23 to greet Afghans on Eidul Fitr.

#7  Whack Quetta and watch this mutt shut his yammering piehole. We need to destroy Pakiwackiland from Baluchistan to Sinda to the farthest northern corner. Destroy everything - truly make it a desert from border to border, sea to mountains. Peace will come to Afghanistan in a week or less.

#6  I do think we should make it a point to whack bad guys that stand up and say bad things to cheerlead the other bad guys.

Its a matter or principle. When the bad guys are plotting their bad things in a hole in the ground terrified to using modern technology for fear it will draw us onto them, well that's the place we should be aiming for.

We also need to announce the use of pigfat in simtex to really complicate the attempts to recruit suicide bombers.

#5  Many consider ole Hek to be a toothless mutt kept around just to occasionally curl his lip and snarl at the poachers. However, one shouldnÂ’t forget; “HV” means your still worthy of some Hellfire down the jubbah.

#2  I'm a little confused. Will Iraq be the third Afghanistan, or the other way around?
