KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - Despite a series of stunning setbacks that cost the Taliban their grip on the capital and deprived them of huge swaths of territory, Taliban supreme leader Mullah Mohammed Omar remained defiant in a BBC interview broadcast Thursday, saying he'd rather die than ``join an evil government'' with the country's former leader.

The Taliban pullback from urban centers, he said, was part of a larger strategy that aims to destroy America.

``If God's help is with us, this will happen within a short period of time - keep in mind this prediction,'' he said. ``The real matter is the extinction of America, and God willing, it will fall to the ground.''

Mullah Omar also ruled out taking part in a multiethnic government like that the United Nations has proposed for Afghanistan.

``The struggle for a broad-based government has been going on for the last 20 years, but nothing
came of it,'' he said. ``We will not accept a government of wrongdoers. We prefer death than to be a part of an evil government.''

The BBC asked the questions through an intermediary over a satellite phone, who passed them on to the Taliban leader through a hand-held radio. Earlier Thursday, the private Afghan Islamic Press agency reported that Omar was in a safe place and in charge of his troops.


 Does this threat need to be taken seriously?

If they prefer death, we should do all we can to abide by their wishes.

I pledge to shoot Omar in the stomach at close range with my 870 if I see him.

These murdurous dogs need to hunted down and be "put down."  I believe the penalty for murder in the Islam world is beheading.

NO, don't do that, we need to slowly lower him into a pool of acid, it'd be a lot more painful, and last longer.
[}:D]

I have only one thing to say to this:

Bring it, fuckers!

What are they going to destroy us with, and from where?  This guy must be having seizures again.

God Bless Texas

I know I'm scared as hell, how 'bout you guys?

Hmmmm, Mullah Omar's dreaded Jihad technology hasn't exactly wrought stunning success, now has it?  

Looks like Bush and Ashcroft beat him to it:

PATRIOT Act
Secret trials and military courts for non-citizens

Read your history. This has been done before. There was a group of terrorists, on these shores, that were tried and convicted by exactly this type of setup- a 7 man military court turned 2 of the terrorists. They were spared, while the others were electrocuted. Charges were espionage and the equivelent of terrorism. The year was 1942 (June, I think), and the terrorists were Nazis that were going to sabotage numerous public services and create social unrest to hinder our effectiveness in WWII. Their plan was set to unfold over a 2-year period.

When you have a family and responsibilities outside of trying to get laid by your classmates and guzzling beer at frat parties, you will hopefully learn to look at issues from more than one viewpoint. Some college professors even try to teach this method of research and viewing things, though they are getting scarce.

The American people, the average Joe, WILL put a stop to government excesses eventually. We are a Nation slow to anger. They always have and always will. Not everyone is gifted with such keen insight unmarred by reality as you.

Mwaaaa hahaha!

A perfect summary of the situation.
