Hopefully just a rallying cry and saber-rattling on their part -- will their nation and the rest of the world buy it?

"American in Isreal" has also posted a great analysis that everyone should read HERE.

Taliban deny 'Holy War' claim

Afghanistan's Taliban rulers have reportedly denied a claim that they had declared Holy War on the US

Media around the world had reported that Afghan radio was carrying reports of a declaration of "holy war", or jihad, against the States. New reports say this is not the case.

The leader of Afghanistan's Taliban regime Mullah Mohammad Omar says a grand council of Islamic clerics will meet to decide Osama bin Laden's fate today.

What is increasingly apparent is that the US was not hamstrung so much by other countries, as by our own homegrown morons. Now that Bush has the unequivocal support of the American people, look how he's able to grab some of the less cooperative countries by the lapels and say "Look bud, you're either with us, or gonna get your ass kicked.."

But there were also reports in Pakistan that the Taliban are prepared to hand over Bin Laden on certain conditions: that he is put on trial in a neutral court; that sanctions on Afghanistan are lifted; and that the US gives economic aid.

Who are the Taliban to give conditions to the U.S.?
Nuetral court? Sure, the federal court of the United States. Innocent until proven guilty.
Sanctions lifted? Sure, just as soon as the Taliban is removed from power.
Economic aid? They can suck their economic aid from my ____.

Let me get this straight, we are now at "Holy" war against the Taliban? Or is this against Islam in general? Who else are they at "Holy" war with? Does anybody write these things down anywhere? Is there a ledger of Holy Wars in effect or maybe a scorecard where we can see the won/lost records for the various combatants?

Israel, no doubt, is at "Holy" war.

I also think that the Muslims are still fighting the Christians in the Muluku Islands of Indonesia.

What about Salmon Rushdie? Is that a holy war or a holy contract?

Wait a sec, are we still at Holy War with Iran? I don't seem to remember a Holy Peace being declared after the hostage crisis twenty years ago.

Holy Mackeral, this is confusing.

If we get two more Holy Wars, we get a free falfel on our next visit.
