U.S. reconciliation offer "lunatic": Taliban spokesman
2009-04-01
And, you must admit, they do know "lunatic"...
KABUL (Reuters) -- Taliban insurgents reject a U.S. offer of "honorable reconciliation," a top spokesman said on Wednesday, calling it a "lunatic idea" and saying the only way to end the war was to withdraw foreign troops.

With the Afghan conflict now in its eighth year, NATO-led forces and the Taliban are locked in a bloody stalemate with violence set to rise further this year as more U.S. troops arrive and seek to contain the insurgency ahead of August elections.
Some stalemate: we set the traps and they die ensnared ...

#7  IOW, this can be interpreted as either THE USA conquers or dominates EAST-SOUTH ASIA, OR RADICLA ISLAM WILL , i.e. the Taliban, etal. conquer or dominate CENTRAL-SOUTH ASIA.

One more evidencia/proof among many may that THE ISLAMIST MIL-TERRS GENER HAVE NO QUALMS ABOUT WAGING OR INDUCING "MUTUAL DESTRUCTION" + "GREAT POWER(S)" MILPOL CONFRONTATION [nuclear war] TO ACHIEVE THEIR JIHAD'S AGENDUM. POTUS OBAMA's redeployment of US milfors from IRAQ only means they expand and attack elsewhere [read, AFRICA].

E.g WORLD MIL FORUM [GOOGLE Chinglish translation] > [paraph]THE DAY THE WAR = ISLAMIST MILITANCY ENDS IN AFPAK WILL BE THE DAY SAME BEGINS IN XINJIANG + WESTERN CHINA [Uighurs, etc. + Elsewhere]???

#5  And in case the irony is missed: "affected with periodic insanity, dependent on the changes of the moon". As was said, they do know that.

#2  But, as these a$$clowns are based in moon-worship, Prezbo will probably take the rejection as a compliment....
