I wonder if this one will be picked up in the States. Some of this sounds fairly rediculous -- people somehow launching themselves in a glider at helicopters somehow -- but I suppose you don't have to have too many successes with suicide death squads in order to take it seriously.

It is my feeling that a raghead in a hang glider going after one of our attack helicopters is something I personally would pay $10 to see.

The strategy of the fidaiyan will be to carry out kamikaze-style suicide attacks using gliders

"We will destroy you astride our vaccuum cleaners"

"We will annihilate you atop our giant paper airplanes"

"Mooslim" launching machine in a secret test run.

Sounds like our guys need to set up some snipers. They can use bullets dipped in pig blood. The bodies/what's left of them, can be hung for all to see, using pig entrails.

These neanderthals are getting their rocks off knowing that their low-tech, primitive ways have an effect on our modern ways. Time to fight their ways THEIR way...as low as 'we' can go.

It's not ridiculous at all; the Muslims have used fidayeen tactics with a lot of success in Kashmir, against the Indian army.

[GeekDejure]

I kinda figure that there's going to be a very serious shortage of firm, high-breasted Virgins long before this Muslim suicide lunacy finally comes to an end !!! That is to say, if it ever does actually come to an end !!!

[goofus not gallant]

This comes first to mind

[monocle]

Once again it appears that the Arabs are using the Afghanis to do their dirty work. When will the Afghanis wake up to the fact that the Arabs have occupied their country in a fashion similar to the Soviets?

[M. Thatcher]

It's not ridiculous at all

Oh, I beg to differ:

Formation of this death squad is a major new development in the Afghan history of warfare. Never before in the history have Afghan countenanced the idea of suicide attacks against advancing contingents or stationed troops. The mastermind of the plan is said to be an Arab fighter whose name could not be ascertained. Could it be....Satan?

I am reminded of the Cheech & Chong Kamikaze Bit:

Admiral: "You take your prane high up, coming down fast, crashing on the deck kirring all aboard! Any questions? Yes, you in the back..."

Japanese Pilot: "Honorable Admiral Sir, are you out of your @#$#@@!! mind???"

"Taliban field suicide death squads against US forces "

I thought every Taliban unit was a dead squad when they ran up against our guys......

It's always polite to be accomodating when in anothers country, let's just kill'em all.....

Hmmm, let's see.......

One army blackhawk helicopter versus.......
One Afghani hang glider.

My money's on the helicopter.

Heh, LOL!!

I wonder, are these people stoned, or just stupid.
(I think they've been too long out in the poppy fields)

They are allowed to enter sensitive installations riding their vehicles without being stopped and searched.

Hm. Our heaviest munitions have already entered such installations. As a result there is no one left there to stop or search anyone.

The strategy of the fidaiyan will be to carry out kamikaze-style suicide attacks using gliders or improvised machine-propelled vehicles against US and British aircraft and commando units.

I love this Arab strategy...Its so funny that I'm starting today with a smile. Thanks for the post :>)

While many scholars in the Hanbali school allow suicide attacks in emergency situations, Hanafi scholars are firm this practice is forbidden under Islam and lacking precedent in the early days of the advent of Islam.

Remember the EgyptAir flight out of New York City that suddenly plunged and crashed into the sea? The cockpit voice recorder caught what sounded like the copilot murmuring some Qu'ranic verses or prayer or something, before he took the controls and sent the plane into its suicide dive.

Egyptian officials and the Egyptian (always anti-American) press declared that we were lying, that this could NOT have happened because NO good Muslim would commit suicide.

Which doesn't help explain the events of 9/11, does it?

You know, that was the first thing to come to mind when reading this - thanks for the picture from it!! Suicide squad sent to rescue Brian in Life of Brian.

"Always look on the bright side of life!"

I wonder if they have a lot of beard stands over there? Stonings are common.

[Illbay]

I don't get it.
