Taliban Issues Warnings To Britain
by UPI Wire
May 5, 2006
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan – May 5, 2006 (UPI) — Britain, about to take command of NATO forces in southern Afghanistan, reportedly has received threats from the Taliban, which is growing active in the region.
Mohammad Hanif Sherzad, spokesman for Taliban leader Mullah Omar, told The Times of London on a satellite telephone: “Our activity will increase day by day. We now have the confidence to fight face-to-face and we have all the ammunition we need.”
The spokesman also told The Times, “We will turn Afghanistan into a river of blood for the British.”
The threat comes at a time when the Taliban reportedly has rearmed and recruited new followers to fight the 8,000-person NATO force from Britain, Canada and the Netherlands.
But Lt. Gen. David Richards, who will command the NATO forces, said he is not concerned about the threat and that his troops will “respond very robustly” if attacked.
The NATO deployment will allow the United States to reduce the number of its troops.
I did not want to respond till today since it was just too upsetting to me, I have edited out the photos he included in his email to me.

Mestro,
I never reply to jerks like you. I won’t be answering you back in an email I will however answer you right here in front of God and everyone.
First of all these photos you sent are because of war, because of a cult called Islam that teaches to destroy everyone that is NOT a Muslim. You and your people follow moon god you call Allah. Your Muhammad was a thief, liar, assassin, mass murderer, terrorist, warmonger, and an unrestrained sexual pervert engaged in pedophilia, incest, and rape.
Check this out and learn well what your cult is about. Read the verses that the entire world can read. Read further down the page at the LIST OF ATTACKS on Americans (civilians and military) ALL done by followers of Islam.
I don’t know if you are speaking of the war in Iraq or our soldiers in Afghanistan. So how to answer you would determine that. Let’s say you mean the war in Iraq. The war on terror as it has been labeled.
Take a look at this website, it is an Iraqi website.
Look at the dead bodies, the mass graves, and the people crying out for help.
This was under Saddam, and could you think that maybe just maybe the people you see crying out for help are some of the very same ones that held up their purple fingers for the world to see?
If you meant Afghanistan then you are worse off then I thought. America is fighting back from an attack on our soil. So dream on if you think I will be against that in anyway. I am FOR going after those that want to kill us, going after them anytime, anyplace and taking them out anyway we can.
I hate that any of our troops get hurt, get killed and I have cried about this more then I can count. My tears are with pride too and a heart that is so grateful every second of every day for what my security, my freedom has cost.
You however, Mestro can burn in hell for all I care.

Coalition Shows Zarqawi Outtakes During Press Event
By Jim Garamone
American Forces Press Service
BAGHDAD, May 4, 2006 – Coalition officials here today showed the “outtakes” of terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi’s latest anti-coalition screed, and it became quickly apparent why they ended on the cutting-room floor, so to speak.
In one, Zarqawi — the leader of al Qaeda in Iraq — has trouble trying to operate an automatic weapon. An associate has to show him how to do it. Later in the same shot, an associate takes the weapon from Zarqawi by the barrel and burns his hand. In another, the feared terrorist is shown in a black uniform and bright blue “tenny pumps.”
Coalition troops found the tape during a raid on a hideout for foreign fighters. “He is far from being a capable military leader,” coalition spokesman Army Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch said during a news conference today.
Zarqawi has the most to lose as Iraq forms its national unity government, the general said. Al Qaeda leaders understand that democracy in Iraq means failure for the extremist organization.
Zarqawi’s al Qaeda mission is to destabilize any government in Iraq, to drive the coalition from the country, and to impose an extremist government and expand it across the region.
Lynch said the coalition has made good progress against foiling suicide bombings, the most deadly attacks in Iraq. “The suicide attacks are where the innocent men, women and children of Iraq are being killed or severely wounded,” the general said.
About 90 percent of those launching suicide attacks are foreigners recruited and outfitted by Zarqawi. “We have planned and launched operations over the past couple of weeks to deny him that capability,” Lynch said.
Over the past year, the coalition has cut the number of suicide attacks Zarqawi can launch. First, operations in the Euphrates River Valley disrupted the flow of foreign extremists from Syria, and now intelligence has allowed coalition forces to kill or capture a significant number of foreign fighters.
A year ago, Lynch said, there were on average 75 suicide attacks per month. Today there are less than 25 per month.
Lynch said coalition officials have targeted suicide bombers. “Since April 8, coalition forces have killed 31 foreign fighters,” he said. “These are people that Zarqawi brought into Iraq to be suicide bombers who were killed before they could launch their attacks.”
Suicide bombers most often come from Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Jordan. Most come into Iraq over the Syrian border. Lynch said that once captured, suicide attackers have often given coalition officials “actionable intelligence.”

Iranian Army Chief of Staff Reveals in Interview Preparations for Military Confrontation With U.S.
The following are excerpts from an interview with Iranian Army Chief of Joint Staff General Abdorrahim Musavi, which aired on Iranian Channel 2.

It is followed by transcripts of two Iranian music videos about Iran’s nuclear program and uranium-enriching capabilities, which aired on the Iranian news channel.

HERE and HERE ( lots of dancing and ALLAH Akbar going on with this one)
General Abdorrahim Musavi:
“We make our submarines ourselves, and we make them in a way that will serve us in battle with the enemy… with America. In other words, these vessels are not the kind about which the other side gets information even before us. We work on equipment that is locally made, and which is compatible with our own tactics and training.”
“This includes various submarines, assault boats, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which we can use in naval battles. We manufacture missiles, torpedoes, mines, naval canons, and sonar. We also make ROVs – remotely operated vessels, which are manufactured by the navy for special purposes.”
“Knowing that our number one enemy is the criminal America, we focused on it. We identified its strengths and weaknesses, and prepared the equipment, structures, and tactics necessary to deal with it.
“We studied all the details of America’s war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Our military planning teams simulated American capabilities, based on America’s activities in Iraq and in Afghanistan. In this simulation, they predicted the kind of attack the U.S. would employ, if an attack indeed takes place. On the basis of these simulations we developed scenarios, and prepared ourselves for dealing with each one.”
“This is why we do not compare ourselves to the countries in the region. We compare our force to that of America, because it is from America’s force that we want to protect ourselves. We want to put America in its place.”
“We realized that America’s military power is greatly overestimated, based on statistics and accurate figures. Our conclusion was that 70, 80 percent… 60 to 70 percent of it is psychological warfare. U.S. military power is only 20 or 30 percent of what is portrayed.”
“During the war with Iraq, we felt sorry for our enemies. General Dadras remembers this. I am an artillery officer. When we wanted to carry out effective firing, we would not even look sometimes. You saw how we treated the Iraqi POWs. We viewed them as relatives and treated them as such. But we will not treat the Americans this way.”
Iranian Video Clip Celebrates Iran’s Nuclear Project
The following are excerpts from an Iranian video clip about Iran’s nuclear project, which aired on the Iranian news channel.

“The land of love and strength
“Your glorified name brings hope and pride.“Oh homeland, your honor in the world is eternal
“Every inch of your soil is the arena of heroes
“Science and initiative are the fruit of young men’s work
“They are the greatest gift now and forever.“Nuclear energy is the symbol of our strength
“Iran, Iran, you must remain forever
“Iran, Iran, you must remain strong
“Iran, Iran, you must remain forever
“Iran, Iran, you must remain strong.”
Iranian Leaders Watch Dance Celebrating Iran’s Uranium Enrichment Capabilities
The following are excerpts from a dance celebrating Iran’s uranium enrichment capabilities, aired on the Iranian news channel.
Young men: “Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar.”
Speaker: “God is great. It has been proven that God is the great supporter of the Iranian people.”
Young Men: “Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar.”
Speaker: “Dear viewers, guests, and listeners, this is the cry of Allah Akbar by the zealous young men of the Iranian people. These young people here represent various ethnic groups of the Iranian people.”
Young men: “Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar”.
Speaker: “On the cold nights, when we were feverishly striving for the triumph of the Islamic revolution, we used to say Allah Akbar. In the days of the war of defense we shouted Allah Akbar. In all moments of collective steadfastness we shouted Allah Akbar. Now we repeat the same eternal slogan: Allah Akbar. Is this not your slogan? Don’t you say Allah Akbar?”
Young men and crowd: “Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar.”
Speaker: “I’d like to invite the deputy supervisor of the Imam Reza Shrine, my honorable brother, Mr. Alavi, who proudly wears the uniform of the Imam Reza Shrine. I would like to call him to the stage. He will be presented with a container with the first nuclear product of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
“Mr. Alavi, if you please. Please honor this occasion by reciting prayers to the Prophet and his family.
“With the permission of the supervisor of the Imam Reza Shrine… Deputy Supervisor of the Imam Reza Shrine, Mr. Alavi, will now come to the stage and receive a container with UF6, produced in the nuclear facilities of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Oh honorable people, and all who witness this occasion, remember that we have no mystery besides Allah Akbar, and we have no secret besides the greatness of God and this conviction. Mr. Alavi, if you please. Honor this occasion by saying Allah Akbar.”
Crowd: “Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar

Legislation in the U.S. Senate in 1999 designated May as National Military Appreciation Month. This legislation tells our service members that their country has set aside an entire month to honor, remember and appreciate them. More comprehensive legislation – House Concurrent Resolution 328 – was passed by unanimous consent of both Houses of Congress in April 2004.
Lt. Dan Band to Perform at Pentagon
Gary Sinise and his Lt. Dan Band Help Deptartment of Defense Kick Off Military Appreciation Month
Actor and director Gary Sinise and his Lt. Dan Band will perform during an afternoon concert at the Pentagon beginning at noon, Friday, May 5, helping the Departement of Defense’s “America Supports You” program kick off Military Appreciation Month.
Renowned for his role as Lt. Dan in the movie “Forrest Gump,” Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band have performed USO concerts for military men and women at American military bases across the United States and throughout Europe. Gary Sinise recently returned from a trip visiting the troops in Afghanistan.
Most Soldiers know him as “Lt. Dan.” CSI: New York actor Gary Sinise has taken that label to heart as he leads the Lt. Dan Band, a rock group he uses to support and entertain service members around the world.
When Military Appreciation Month wraps up on Memorial Day, Sinise’s band will reappear among various artists at a Memorial Day Concert on the West Lawn of the Capitol building in Washington May 28 from 8 to 9:30 p.m. EST.
Sinise has been an active supporter of the well-being of military service members and their families since the onset of Operations Enduring and Iraqi Freedom. His band has played for Soldiers in both operations for the past two years, and has also performed for service members in places like Germany, Britain and the Netherlands.
A troop morale visit he made to Iraq in late 2003 inspired Sinise to also reach out to the future citizens of Iraq. In March the following year, Sinise teamed up with best-selling author Laura Hillenbrand to co-found Operation Iraqi Children – an organization that enables Americans to help Iraqi children by supporting the Army’s overall efforts to improve the quality of life for Iraqis.
While Sinise’s efforts through the Lt. Dan Band performances have improved public awareness of the OIC program, they have also raised money for the Wounded Warrior Project. The WWP provides free services and counseling for severely wounded troops from the time they arrive at the hospital through their recovery and rehabilitation stages.
Sinise received an Oscar-nomination for his role as Lt. Dan, a disabled veteran in the Oscar-winning 1994 movie “Forrest Gump.
Other Military Appreciation Month events “America Supports You” will be highlighting are the Joint Open House at Andrews Air Force Base, Md., May 19-20; New York City Fleet Week in New York City, N.Y., May 23-29; and the Indianapolis 500 in Indianapolis, Ind., May 29.
And more days as well for National Military Appreciation Month includes Loyalty Day, May 1, VE Day, May 8, Military Spouse Day, May 12, Armed Forces Day, May 20, and Memorial Day, May 29.

Notes from a great article at FrontPage magazine………
The ideology that motivated Moussaoui to get involved with Al-Qaeda and the 9/11 plot. He told prosecutors that he felt “no regret, no remorse” for 9/11:
“We want pain in your country. I wish there would be more pain.”
Why? At his death penalty hearings, according to AP, Moussaoui …..
“told jurors that Islam requires Muslims to be the world’s superpower as he flipped through a copy of the Koran searching for verses to support his assertions. One he cited requires non-Muslim nations to pay a tribute to Muslim countries.”
It is likely that he cited Qur’an 9:29, which commands Muslims to make war against the “People of the Book” (i.e.. primarily Jews and Christians) until they pay the jizya, a poll tax not collected from Muslims, and “feel themselves subdued.”
An echo of this verse comes through in Moussaoui’s statement that ……
“we” — the Islamic world — “have to be the superpower. You have to be subdued. We have to be above you. Because Americans, you are the superpower, you want to eradicate us.”
Moussaoui made himself very clear. He identified himself as an adherent of the jihad ideology that fuels Islamic movements around the globe today, who are fighting in part because of the conviction enunciated decades ago by the Pakistani jihad thinker and politician Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi: he declared that non-Muslims have…….
“absolutely no right to seize the reins of power in any part of Allah’s earth nor to direct the collective affairs of human beings according to their own misconceived doctrines.”
If they do….
“the believers would be under an obligation to do their utmost to dislodge them from political power and to make them live in subservience to the Islamic way of life.”
Should Moussaoui feel any remorse for what he did? As he put it….
“There is no regret for justice.” He sees 9/11 as the Muslims doing their utmost to dislodge the infidels from political power. He believes that when he inflicts pain upon those who are at war with Islam, he is doing what pleases Allah. He is working for justice in this world.
Why did he consider his evading the death penalty a victory? …..
Some have suggested that executing Moussaoui would just make him a martyr in the Islamic world. In fact, however, this is unlikely. Strictly speaking, Paradise is promised only to those who “slay and are slain” for Allah (Qur’an 9:111), not to those who die an ignominious death at the hands of Infidel corrections officers. While there is little doubt that a dead Moussaoui would nevertheless be lionized in the Islamic world as another victim of America’s putative “war on Islam,” he is of more value to the global jihad alive than dead.
There are several reasons for this:
[1] The verdict will be seen in the Islamic world as another manifestation of American cowardice and failure of will, akin to Bill Clinton’s withdrawal from Somalia after the Black Hawk incident — which convinced Osama bin Laden that America could be beaten. A man who believes that the Almighty commands him to be “merciful” to his fellow Muslims but “ruthless” to the unbelievers (Qur’an 48:29) does not readily understand acts of mercy or forbearance as anything other than weakness. In this view a strong America would execute Moussaoui; a weak America allows him to live on.
[2] Moussaoui’s trial has aggravated the fissures between the United States and Europe. France has offered Moussaoui, a French citizen, consular protection. A living Moussaoui will be able to continue to try to worsen the tensions between the emerging Eurabia, made up as it is of terrified governments desperate to placate their growing and restive Muslim populations, and a U.S. still pursuing the war on terror.
[3] A living Moussaoui could become the Leonard Peltier of the jihad movement. Moussaoui executed will cause outrage for a moment; Moussaoui imprisoned will provoke outrage for a lifetime. For the next fifty years Moussaoui could become a symbol of American injustice: a rallying point for protestors, a new occasion for the international Left and the global jihad to make common cause. He himself has a tendency to make extreme, inflammatory statements — so he will fit right in with the Left’s current crop of overheated rhetoricians.
[4] Moussaoui himself could become a heroic figure, most especially in whatever prison in which he is ultimately incarcerated. He will provide a new impetus for prison conversions to Islam, and a rallying point for jihad recruitment in his prison. This may be the most important reason of all why Moussaoui declared victory on Wednesday: he can see himself training up the next generation of mujahedin who will see his great battle for Allah through to final victory over the American Great Satan.
Wild Thing’s comment……..
Yes it IS too bad the jury did not get it, did not put security first, did not face up to what Islam is about. Instead they went for the touchie feelie thinking of poor little sick Moussaoui had a bad childhood. The jury is part of the sickness and the enemy of this great country.
