I have 600 suicide bombers waiting for your soldiers

The senior Taliban commander in Afghanistan's lawless Helmand province has vowed to unleash a brigade of 600 suicide bombers against the British Army when it arrives in the area this summer.
In a rare interview given at a hideout on the Pakistani border, Mullah Razayar Noorzai said the chance to take on British troops was a "great honour". Taliban commanders had already recruited hundreds of willing martyrs for suicide operations, he claimed, aiming to repeat the notorious defeats inflicted on British troops in Afghanistan during Victorian times.
A price of $2,000 (£1,150) has also been put on the head of any captured Westerner - a bounty that threatens a re-run of the Iraq-style kidnappings and beheadings.
"We are happy that they are coming to Helmand," said Mullah Razayar, who lost a leg while fighting the Russians in the 1980s. "It is both a trial and a great honour for all Muslims. We will now get a fair chance to kill them.
"We have already prepared 600 suicide bombers alone for the Helmand, and you'll see that we will turn it into their graveyard."

4. We Invaded their country. Therefore we are the assholes.

Would you fight to defend America if the Afghans invaded your country, or would you play it safe and co-operate with the enemy?

After the Germans were driven out of France in WW2, collaborators were harshly dealt with.

12. Why do you hate freedom?

Obviously, if America were invaded, anyone who resisted would be a "heroic freedom-fighter." Naturally, that only applies to us; when we're the invaders, anyone who resists is a "terrorist." Sheesh, this is so simple! So, have you got that now? :eyes:

13. If the US was ran by a government like the Taliban, I'd be overjoyed

Of course, I wouldn't be too happy if, like is the case in Afghanistan now, the new government turned out to be not too different from the Taliban-esque government.

15. In a way

the Taliban also invaded Afghanistan. They were pushed by the Pakistani army and intelligence outfit.

The US never really "invaded" Afghanistan in the way they did with Iraq. They simply supported a few rivaling factions. Bush never had an interest in going into Afghanistan in the first place. They never put the required number of troops. He never took it seriously. It was a side show. An appetizer for the main course, which of course was Iraq. Blair told Bush it would be easier to convince the world and their own respective consticuencies if they went after Afghanistan first.

11. they don't need rape rooms, our male soldiers rape our female

soldiers on their way to the bathrooms at night. our women have to go in groups or risk rape.

and our officers talk a lot but do next to nothing to protect our women or punish the rapists.

the officers should go to jail along with the rapists.
