| Afghan government next to fall after Egypt, says Taliban |
| 2011-02-13 |
| THE Taliban warned that the US-backed Afghan government is next in line to get toppled by its people after the collapse of Hosni Mubarak's regime in Egypt, US-based monitors said. Mr Mubarak's ouster on Friday after three decades in power demonstrates that "many weapons and soldiers and much foreign assistance cannot keep a regime in power and that they cannot always hinder the caravan of 'hope and demands' of a nation," the Taliban said on its website, according to SITE Intelligence Group. The Pashto-language statement said the Afghan people would rise up and overthrow the Kabul government due to its corruption and the "atrocities" committed by the United States in the country during a nearly decade-old military campaign. The United States will eventually turn against Afghan President Hamid Karzai's government just as it did against Mr Mubarak in Egypt, it continued. The group also also urged Egyptians to form an Islamic government and to "foil the plots of the foreign enemies," according to SITE. |

| #7 Afghan government next to fall after Egypt, says Taliban First the Muslim Brotherhood claims credit for the fall of the Egyptian government, now the Taliban, who I'm pretty sure are more occupied with keeping themselves alive than anything else. Couldn't have been a disconnected government, high food prices, low employment, with google as a catalyst. Oh no. Hey, Mr. Taliban, can you tell me whose next? |

| #6 Sigh. Clitorectomies aren't going far enough, how about tubal ligation for all men for the entire Afghan region and witness relocation for all goats and sheep. |

| #5 "so their own intellectual shortages and inbred stoopid, don't become too obvious" Too bad it didn't work, Frank. It's extremely obvious. |

| #4 I think they're well aware of their inadequacies, that's why they have to do clitorectomies (so the women never know the pleasure they wouldn't have gotten from these goat f*ckers) and blow up girl's schools, so their own intellectual shortages and inbred stoopid, don't become too obvious |

| #2 The big question is whether Al Qaeda will pull up stakes in Pakland and go to Egypt to cause trouble. I wonder what the chatter says. |
