Gulbuddin Hekmatyar has been ranting against the American infidels for about 25 years ... nothing new about that.

He should get a dirt nap.

"We have lots of young fighters, who are ready to sacrifice their lives and wealth to save the religion," he said.

The US gov't will be happy to provide them with whatever they need for the trip.

Blah...blah...blah. More terrorists to kill!

"Ooooooh, we've already made a list,
We're not checking it twice,
we already know who's naughty and nice.
Uncle Sam is coming to your town.....

Frankly, this "Jihad" stuff is gettig boring. He can take his Jihad, and shove it up his butt. Nobody cares.


I will see his Jihad and raise 10,000 more spec forces troops... That ought to get their attention...

[festus]

filled with graphic images of carnage and violence against Muslims in Indonesia, Palestine, Iraq and elsewhere, Why don't we get to hear about this violence and carnage. I was under the impression we weren't doing enough of that sort of thing yet to put an end to this silly jihad stuff. If you declare war as a religion then don't hide behind the BS of "religious freedom for religious wars" and "religion of peace". If we want to carpet bomb..... mecca has lots of carpets.

Yawwwwn...another day,... another Jihadist Imam yelling death to America!

Gulbuddin Hekmatyar is maybe the worst of the warlords in Afghanistan, a truly evil man and a psychopath. He's had a long career of nastiness -- he's the one who nearly levelled Kabul in 1992. Afghanistan's worst nightmare. There's some basic background on him here and here.

Tell him to get in line. Their little threat about jihad is getting a bit old. It seems every other week there is some fundamentalist screaming for it. No one is impressed except maybe the French who are shaking in the boots and looking for who else's butt they need to kiss. They do so much of it I suggest, as a humanitarian gesture only, that we air lift them some plane loads of Chap Stick.
