KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) - A top Taliban commander said more than 200 rebel fighters were willing to become suicide attackers against U.S. forces and their allies - a claim dismissed as propaganda Monday by Afghanistan's government, which said the hardline militia was weakening.

In an interview late Sunday with The Associated Press, Mullah Dadullah, ruled out any reconciliation with the U.S.-backed government of President Hamid Karzai and claimed the country's new parliament - its first in more than 30 years, inaugurated last week - was "obedient to America."

"More than 200 Taliban have registered themselves for suicide attacks with us which shows that a Muslim can even sacrifice his life for the well-being of his faith. Our suicide attackers will continue jihad (holy war) until Americans and all of their Muslim and non-Muslim allies are pulled out of the country," he said.

Sounds of desperation.

[bigsigh]

Regiustrated for attacks. Even terrorists have a bureacracy?

[DoughtyOne]

Agreed. If your boys are lining up, you use them. You don't have to tell anyone you have 200 signed up.

Isn't that rather "by definition"?

Well, if you insist. I'm sure the US forces and their allies will oblige those bent on suicide.

[Clintonfatigued]

Can't they launch the suicides and leave out the attack part?

"More than 200 Taliban have registered themselves for suicide attacks

Yea sure, thats why they have to get doped up, unsuspecting innocents to carry out most of these attacks. "Drive the car to point A or else we will kill your entire family..."

Oh no! NOT suicide attacks!!!

[river rat]

This will certainly frighten the DNC.
John "F'ing" Kerry might even Dean in his pants.

Semper Fi

Taliban Leader Threatens Suicide Attacks

That's kind of funny. One guy threatening more than one suicide attack... What is he, a cat?

[lexington minuteman 1775]

Mullah Dadullah? You can't make this stuff up!LOL.

[ml1954]

I guess they're really mad now. This must mean they're they're going to step up the involuntary suicide attacks and make better use of the voluntary suicide attacks. /(all sarcasm most of the time tag)

[Alouette]

If they want to die the U.S. military will be happy to accommodate them.

"More than 200 Taliban have registered themselves for suicide attacks with us which shows that a Muslim can even sacrifice his life for the well-being of his faith."

If the Mullah would kindly forward the names and addresses of those who have registered themselved to United States and allied forces, I am sure, that is a spirit of cooperation, we would be glad to oblige their wish to die.

[ThreePuttinDude]

Suicide, hell, we'll catch 'em and send 'em right back

[no-to-illegals]

and no-one should mind if someone keeps a list here in the states as well.
after all .. this should be a spirit of coorperation.

[No Truce With Kings]
