The Taliban Issue Their Statement In Response To Obama's New Strategy/Troop Influx In Afghanistan

Well, the Taliban have not decided to lay down their weapons and surrender after hearing President Barack Hussein Obama's speech the other night at West Point. I dunno... do you think it's the fact that Obama said we would surrender in 2011 that might contribute to the bold statement by the Taliban?

You can see in the statement below, from Counterterrorism Blog, that the Taliban are trying to feed a bit on some of the unrest with the war here in America. I've always found it curious how al Qaeda, the Taliban, etc. all seem so concerned, in these kinds of statements, that Western governments aren't abiding by the will of the people...curious, because it's al Qaeda and the Taliban and all other islamic terror groups that blow up their fellow citizens....is it the will of the Pakistani people to be blown to bits by an al Qaeda bomb in a marketplace?

I'd like to bring up one thing. Do you remember a couple of years ago, before Obama and before McChrystal, when we were all complaining because the Taliban in Afghanistan had all moved into Pakistan and were using Pakistan as a secure area to regroup, rearm and then stage attacks? Do you remember WHY the Taliban had fled to Pakistan? In case you forgot, it was because we were pounding the ever living shit out of these clowns from the air. Go to YouTube or LiveLeak and enter the search terms, "JDAM Afghanistan" and you'll see dozens and dozens and dozens of the JDAM attacks on the Taliban. But ever since Obama took over as Commander-in-chief, that practice has been all but outlawed.

I'm not saying you can beat the Taliban with an air strike strategy alone...but what it does is it MOVES these fuckers! I'm some dude sitting in his boxer shorts right now at a computer and I can see what is currently happening in Pakistan with the Paki army dealing a serious dose of whoopass on the Taliban....forcing them northward towards the Afghan border...even I can see what would happen right now if we were literally bombing the piss out of the Taliban along that southern ridge near the Pakistani border.

Oh well...no one ever asks me.

Here's the Taliban statement:

The Taliban Reaction: "Regarding Obama’s New Strategy"

The statement noted, “The American President Obama has announced his strategy after months of dithering. The essence of the strategy shows that the needs and wants of the American people have been overlooked during the framing of this strategy and it has been formulated under the pressure of (Army) Generals in the Pentagon, the American Neo-conservatives and the wealthiest few in America and for the protection of their interests. Hence it is a strategy of colonialism aimed at securing interests of the American capitalists and it seems America has vast and protracted but wicked and hostile plans not only for Afghanistan but for the whole region.” The Taliban warned that “the reinforcements will provide better opportunities for the Mujahideen to launch offensives. On the other hand, it will deepen the crisis of the American economy which is already in shambles.” The statement pointed out that “The Islam-loving and freedom-loving people of Afghanistan consider the Kabul Administration and the forces working under this Administration as corrupt and surrogates of the invaders.” Moreover, “The Mujhideen of the Islamic Emirate have worked out a vast strategy and prepared for strong resistance to foil the illegal, anti-Islamic and anti-Afghanistan conspiracies of the internal and external Allies and counter them in every part of the country with full strength and put up a protracted resistance. The Mujahideen have high morale and complete readiness and believe that Obama’s new strategy will fail like it did previously.”
