LONDON [MENL] -- Arab insurgents have formed suicide squads to confront any British or U.S. ground attack in Afghanistan, a leading Arab daily reports.
The London-based A-Sharq Al Awsat said the Afghan ruling Taliban movement has sponsored Arab insurgents to organize suicide squads against British or U.S. troops moving toward Afghan cities. The newspaper said on Thursday that the suicide squads are being organized in the city of Peshwar near the Pakistani border.
Currently, the newspaper said, dozens of Arabs are training in bases of Saudi billionaire fugitive Osama Bin Laden. These bases are located around several Afghan cities -- such as Jalalabad and Kandahar -- and are producing suicide squads in preparation for the arrival of British and U.S. ground forces. These forces could arrive by the end of the month.
Bin Laden has employed so-called "Arab Afghans" in attacks against the West and Arab allies of the United States. The Arabs have also served as mercenaries of Taliban and scores are said to have been killed in the U.S.-led war. They include Egyptians, Jordanians, Palestinians and Yemenis.

To paraphrase General Patton, "the idea of war is not to die for your country but to make the other guy die for his." So far, the suicide bombers have resulted in thousands of Taliban casaulties and an impending loss of power. So much for Middle Eastern pundits.

Suicide squads and hamburger look pretty much alike under a mess of clusterbombs.

Sounds like the Judean People's Front. We'll be happy to assist them in suicide; even if our laws don't encourage euthanasia. ;)

The British media should broadcast that every British soldier is carrying a file of pigs blood on them.
That might put a damper on things.

Presumably OBL is going to lead by example, the courageous martyr that he is, by being the first to lead a suicide squad into U.S. troops. LOL. Looks like OBL is getting a mite desperate as the dead bodies of his useful idiot protectors pile up on the battlefield.

The major advantage of a "suicide squad" is that they are bunched up nicely and can be reduced to bloody rags quickly.
And which of OBL's camps are they being trained at? I didn't know that he had one in the Antartic.

These guys sense the end game is quickly approaching for them. They are striking out with fear. Their threat to use nukes (or bio) if we nukes (or bio) means only one thing: they are well entrenched in deep caves and know the only thing that will take them out without the fight they want is a nuke (or bio/chem). They intend to go down with their own initiated big bang. But not without first causing on-the-ground troop losses to go up with them. I say, nuke (orbio/chem) the b*stards in the hills with small scale tactical nukes or bio/chem. If they really do have nukes here, NOTHING will stop them from using them anyway. This is a battle of time. The sooner they get them, the sooner they will use them. we need to eliminate ALL of these organizations and countries that support this mentality. It is us or them. Let's roll.
