Blitzed ... huge columns of smoke tower above Taliban positions Taliban are buried alive From JOHN ASKILL in Afghanistan A TALIBAN survivor told yesterday how an entire unit was buried alive in a carpet-bombing strike by B-52s. Terrified Osman Rakhim, 23, revealed the shattering explosions caused by the giant US bombers started a landslide on his mountainside position. And he confessed: “I thought I was going to die — the earth was raining from the skies.” Dozens of troops were killed when hundreds of tons of earth and rock came avalanching down on top of them. Rakhim, who wandered away from the carnage in a daze and later surrendered, heard screams for help as a whole unit of fighters dug in behind him were buried. No escape ... explosions on a mountain during bombing Rakhim said: “I could not see, I couldn’t breathe. Everything was in darkness. “There were many, many bombs. The earth shook and it rained rocks and shrapnel. “The hillside was falling on us. There were about 300 of us there dug in with sandbags. I have no idea how many were killed.

This war on terrorism is a fraud. We're not hunting terrorists; we're engaged in nation-building. In other words, we're once again meddling in the domestic affairs of another country and making plenty of enemies in the process.

There had better be was against terrorism. The only problem is it started a few years too late. The one thing I would add is they better start a war of Terrorism right here. There is a Jihad declared against the west, especially America. There are many militants in this country already. They have been meeting and operating right under out law enforcement noses and not taken seriously.

God bless George Bush for doing something now that Clinton, Bush Sr. and Reagan didn't seem to think was such a threat.

See Jihad in America. It does take some time to view the video but it is well worth it.

Jihad in America

I just hope we aren't too late.

"?I thought I was going to die ?

I thought that is what they wanted, or needed to greet their virgins.."

Serious question: If, in the process of doing their good deed, they get blown up and their Willie and the remaining parts also get blown up.....does (1) Allah give them a new (much improved) Willie, or (2) are they left helpless...i.e. dickless?

Of course, I'll take door # 2!!

Why are these jihad Clymers whining about the bombing??? I thought they all looked forward to the glory of dying for Allah, romping with virgins in paradise, blah, blah, blah.

B-52's are referred to in the Air Force as B.U.F.F.'s, which stands for Big Ugly Flying F***ers--LOL! And they are!!! When airborne, B-52's literally look like giant buzzards with wingspans longer than the fuselage--very ugly, very loud, very intimidating. I LOVE the fact that these old war horses are being used to bomb the beejeezus out of the Taliban.

So we're suppose to feel sorry for them? I don't, I hope they all die.

The Taliban actually brought stability to the region.

Perhaps you were absent 9-11 or have been the victim of a DNC/Taliban spin campaign.

If Taliban steals US rations intended for civilians and hides them in Red Cross or Mother Theresa's warehouse, we destroy the Taliban's resources. We gave them every opportunity to hand over Osama. They chose unwisely. Yes, it is complicated. Militant Muslim terrorists joined by the miracle of modern technology, cell phones and laptops with satellite communication can now get their Jihad marching orders and coordinate murder of innocent civilians around the globe...1000 Christians in Nigeria, more in Indonesia, Philippines, Chechnya, Kosovo, Sudan, Kenya, Russia, etc., etc.,...oh, and those murdered 5000 American innocent civilians at the WTC, Pentagon and on flight 93.
