Allah Preparing 21,600 New Virgins in Paradise
2004-02-19
From Jihad Unspun
Radio Tehran has reported that Saif ul Adil, spokesman for Taliban while speaking to the radio station said that hundreds of Taliban are preparing for a major initiative during their Spring offensive against the Americans and their allies. He said that 300 men have volunteered for the missions that are deemed “suicidal”, as there is no “escape route” in these missions. The men are prepared for operations in Kabul, Zabol, Paktia, Paktika and Khost. He also confirmed that Americans had offered to discuss a cease fire with the Taliban but that the Taliban leadership has refused negotiations.

#7  I'm sure the negotiations went something like this:

US: Turn your sorry a$$es into the nearest US base or Afghan police station or we'll see it's no longer attached to your legs.
Taliban: We ululate in your direction. We will kill you all. We will destroy your cities. We will rape your women. We will murder your children.
US: Division, lock and load!
Taliban: ""Heh, heh, they'll never find us in this cave, Ahmed"".

#6  Only 300? I thought they were all ready to die for Islam? Unless, of course, this is all of them.

#4  This from AP:
Hundreds of Taliban fighters have regrouped in southern Afghanistan, threatening villagers and undermining government efforts to establish stability before June presidential elections, Afghan officials said Thursday. However, a U.S. military spokesman gave no credence to the reports.
"If there were hundreds of fighters there, we would kill them,"Lt. Col. Bryan Hilferty said in Kabul.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. I say Saif ul Adil is full of $hit. If 300 turbans want to die fine, we're more than happy to kill 'em.
