Swedish Forces Expand in Afghanistan (In reply to OBL's words: "Why did we not attack Sweden?")

On a videotaped message Mr. Osama Bin Laden once launched this particular message:

"Contrary to what [President George W.] Bush says and claims -- that we hate freedom --let him tell us then, "Why did we not attack Sweden?" (Oct 2004)

--

You sure are a convincing videotape artist, Mr. bin Muhammad bin 'Awad bin Laden.

According to Al-Qaeda logic, there are more similarities between the Al-Qaeda concept of freedom and the Swedish one than that of the US and Sweden.

If jumping to that conclusion was child's play, how about this delicate challenge:

"Why is Sweden attacking you?"

The article:

"Sweden is to beef-up its force stationed in Afghanistan, replacing Danish and Polish soldiers returning from duty in the north of the country.

The 30-strong group will join Sweden’s existing force of 330 troops in four northern provinces, serving as part of the 16,000-strong NATO-led International Security Assistance Force.

The security and humanitarian situation in the country has worsened in recent months.

Sweden’s contribution to the NATO-led force in Afghanistan has attracted criticism, as Sweden is not a member of the alliance."

“I will give a tip of the hat to the Suedes. They sure know how to golf.”

- Are you the kind of guy that believes each and every tee has a name?

” Are you the kind of guy that believes each and every tee has a name?”

Yes I do as a matter of fact. Number 1 hole we call in the woods as 1. Number 2 hole as you call it is where I drive by the older players, so I call that the alheimers players . 3 is the “supposed to be jocks” and them I tell to “git”. Hole four I catch up to the guys that are usually my buddies from school, trying to bum a beer. Hole 5 I lose 2 balls in the swamp every friggin time. 6 is a candy 2-par. 7 is a lorne green and this is when I get on my ball. 8 is the return and the best drive I ever had the ball disappeared. Yes, I am not kidding, it had rained and the best drive I ever had disappeared. I played the return course and I did well buy I want to know how long that drive was.

Swedes ask, “Why do they hate us?”

- Thank you.

Enjoyed plunging deeper into the unfathomable mysteries of golf.

Golf is a great sport, I guess (as long as you don’t confuse it with a novel by Kafka).

In Gothenburg, Sweden, where I live, people often associate Golf/golf with small German cars. Maybe this is because Gothenburg has a lot of automotive industry and people tend to think golf is an activity that doesn’t suit them (apart from VW Golf being an alternative to the smallest Volvo’s like the C30 and the V40).

Regards.
