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 couldnt 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.

..and I hope they are buried face down so they can't see Mecca. A fav tactic adopted by US in Phillipines was to bury the muslim insurgents in pigskin with the face down.

Sucks being on the business end of your enemy's weapons, doesn't it? Sorry, pal (not you, Doug), but you @$$holes picked on the wrong guy this time. And if you continue to hide behind women and children, YOU will be the ones responsible for their deaths. We've warned you, now it's time to come out and fight like men.

Sounds like a Darwin Award waiting to happen -- he'll either kill himself fumbling around in a war zone or get captured and executed for treason.

That's also a story that should be told over and over. Maybe if the Brits capture this idiot they'll let him off with life imprisonment in exchange for doing that.

Just because the video was
released a couple of days ago doesn't mean it was filmed a couple of days ago.
One of Osama's quotes said something about the American / Afghanistan war starting a "few days ago". It's been more than a few days...a lot more than a few days.
Another FReeper observed that his clothing, etc. was almost identical to the last video. I think he's hiding deep...not making videos. This was an older video.

How about David Bowie:

Can't we just all get along? < /sarcasm >
To: samtheman
I guess the scumbag blockhead is talking about the recoil. LOL - yep, probably, although considering the image of our budding Nimrod's first experience with a fully-automatic weapon, shooting the tops of trees and nearly decapitating his buddies...maybe he was talking about ricochet!
To: Maelstrom
Actually, I should have added the sarcasm footnote.... I don't want to waste time trying to relate either... I already know their goal and they are people who are not in the least interested in any point of view of anyone anywhere in the world.... they want to have the whole world ruled by them in the way we have seen in the documentaries recently on TV... no place for women, laws enforced at their whim etc..
Yes, the sooner we get this varmit and his ilk the sooner we can go after others who are of like mind.
