#3 No, Ebbolump Glomotle9608. It's a religious title, meaning that he's learnt enough of the Koran and the Hadith and Sunnah to give sermons. I suspect it's a courtesy title given to everyone who went to a madrassah.

#6 Think Of "Mullah" like a Kentucky "Colonel", doesn't mean a damn thing.

#12 The Mullah boys must think that 10,000 poorly trained and equipped light infantry, unsupported by air or artillery, is shocking news. Planning is ongoing for advertised Spring offensive, Mullah boys; please give your families a final good-bye before you start the Spring offensive. You should not expect to see them again.

#13 we should be dropping leaflets over the NWFP and Baluchistan telling them to "come to your ugly death. no virgins, grapes, or houris await you, only a moldering grave after the buzzards and worms clean your bones. Signed, your NATO masters"

lets see the enthusiasm level after that :-)
