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 is exactly what an awful lot of people in the WTC experienced."

They experienced worse. Much, much, much, much worse.

Thanks. We must never forget these images. We are acting in self-defence. The offence against us was atrocious atrocity. And they will do more to us if they can. If we let them. This is not just war. This is war to the death. Only one side is going to survive this war. There is no middle ground to stand on. Anywhere.

Manitou's angel, shedding great eagle feathers as he flies to save his people.

Now I understand Pleasant Lake's visions. Totally amazing.

Precisely! That's the way it is. If somebody could get the "mainstream" American media to grasp that fundamental truth, our chances of being the sole survivors would be greatly improved.

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. ... I have no idea how many were killed.

Rakhim, you no good, rag-head SOB, now you know what it was like in lower Manhattan on Sept. 11th. I'm glad you watched your no good, rag-head Taliban friends get crushed to death. And I'm glad you survived, so you can tell the rest of your no good friends all about it. Tell them to get used to it; we've got plenty more bombs ready to send your way.

Colorado Doug, your post cheered me up a whole bunch!

Maybe they know just a little how those people in the WTC and Pentegon felt while they were being buried alive.

Buried alive, buried dead. So many choices, so little time.
