India-Pakistan
White House, London, NY my targets: Mehsud
2008-01-30
Taliban commander Baitullah Mehsud said in an interview with Al Jazeera that he wanted to destroy the White House, New York and London.
“Very soon, we will be witnessing jihad’s miracles.”
“Very soon, we will be witnessing jihad’s miracles,” he said in his first-ever television interview that lasted 25 minutes. His face was obscured but his curly locks long jet-black hair was visible. “Our primary aim is to finish Britain [and] the US, and to crush the pride of the non-Muslims,” Baitullah Mehsud told Admad Zaidan, Al Jazeera’s bureau chief in Islamabad, outside Peshawar at an undisclosed location.

Mehsud was recently chosen the leader of a militant coalition named the Taliban Movement of Pakistan, a collection of 40 groups that have come together to battle the Pakistani army and, as he claimed in the interview, fight US and Britain on their home soil. He accused President Pervez Musharraf of working for the interests of “the nonbelievers”. He said his coalition would fight back and “teach him a lesson”. Mehsud said the Taliban coalition was carrying out a “defensive jihad”.

“The army is bombarding our houses and fighting with us,” he said, “We have formed this coalition to guarantee the safety of civilians.”

Translation, please. I haven't got the slightest idea how to put those words together to makes something even vaguely meaningful.

#17  Dhimmi Carter's failure to vaporize Qom has a lot to do with the Islamist scourge we deal with today.

The dude is hallucinating. I think it's some kind of mushroom growing on his brain rot.

#14  Thank you, Baitullah Mehsud. Now hear this. MY target is Pakistan, from the NWFP to the Indian Ocean. We will commence striking targets the first time there is an ATTEMPT against a Western target. We need to reduce our nuclear arsenal by 1725 weapons.

#12  Bold words from a man wearing an apple pie on his head. If you happen to see Osama, ask him how *his* war against the Americans is going.

#11  Here are three words which will give a clue as to what secret weapon would be unleashed if this happened.

#9  Why never Seattle, or San Fransisco? There is enough in those cities to drive a rabid Muzzie ape-shit. Loose morals, drugs, uncovered women, gays in the open... I mean come on!

Oh wait, they don't hit their cheer leading squad. Nevermind.

#8  Well...there really not your targets. You're more of an "idea" man, and, Allah knows, there aren't nearly enough of those fellas working for the jihad. That blowing yourself up shit is for the "little people". But I'll bet you're behind them to the last drop of somebody's blood, so that's sumthin...

#3  Congratulations Baitullah! Your interview for the vacant post of "Al Qaeda #3" has been successful. Your free toaster from Sheik Osama bin Laden will be arriving soon. An all expenses paid vacation to a luxury beach resort on the beautiful tropical island of Cuba awaits. You will be flown to your destination by private Gulfstream jet in real "Rockstar" fashion. Enjoy.
